Another little update...
Okay, I lied... It's a BIG update... *grinning*
Hubby is now employed at the nylon plant just down the road, and his orientation will be this coming Monday and Tuesday. He'll be doing shift work, which means that he'll work seven days from 7 am - 4 pm, have two days off, work seven days from 4 p.m. - midnight, have two days off, work seven days from midnight - 8 a.m., have four days off -- and start the whole confusing schedule over. It'll be a bit hectic, but a local job at $9 per hour is a Godsend.
And I am now the newest English teacher at a prestigious public high school near Dover, Delaware. *beaming* It's the highest-ranked school in the state, and its classroom technology is cutting edge. I'll be teaching 9th and 11th graders this year; and, if invited to teach next year, my 9th graders will become my 10th graders. My orientation is also this coming Monday, and my first official day of teaching will likely be Tuesday.
I should also have my cable TV and internet installed on Monday or Tuesday. The cable is coiled by the light pole, the tiny trench is dug across the front yard, and now we await the actual CONNECTING of the wires. Progress comes at a turtle's pace in Slower Lower Delaware.
Things are looking up for me, my family... Once things settle down, I hope to be a more permanent fixture in camp, especially since hubby's schedule will leave my nights -- and the computer -- free for half the month. Love you guys!
