Life Gets in the Way

So....

Let's see, since the last post, what has happened in our lives?

Let's do this as a list

A) Moving day - Truck shows up. Wife and son and cats and fish head off to our new NEPA home.
B) Still moving day - Foreman tells me that the truck will not hold all of our stuff. Little girl and I will have to find a place to stay so that we can meet another truck the next day.
C) Still moving day - Wife and son arrive, party to welcome us all starts to warm up. Moving truck finally arrives hours after it should have. Wife misses party. Girl and I miss party because we are still at old town. We have a lovely time with friends, but still...
D) Girl starts new day care, boy is making friends and is hardly ever in the house. New neighbors and co-workers seem pretty terrific
E) Girl gets ill and we end up in the emergency room as she suffers from what they call bronchial spasms. Pretty scary and pretty expensive since we are between insurance plans at this point.
F) Getting settled in and starting to work. One week down and the kids seem pretty impressive so far. There is a WIDE range of talent at the school and this adds to the sense of diversity here. We've got kids from all over the world, we've got post grads and teachers with years and years of experience. I've got a pretty good feeling about the place so far.
G) Girl continues to struggle with pretty bad coughing so the wife and I are getting very little sleep
H) My first full weekend includes dorm duty. Check ins at dinner and at 11 or 11:30 with a 12:30 quiet time warning for all. 82 boys to keep track of. First night felt very stressful, second night is much less so.
