Busy weeks...

The first two weeks of first grade have been great. My daughter has enjoyed learning new things. So far we spent two weeks learning about bunnies (her choice), and going over stuff from last year. I also run a part day preschool so that has been underway. I really enjoy teaching my kids and working with them. I don't see how some parents are so ready to shove their kids out of the door. Don't get me wrong, there are days that I so tired, the kids have been fighting, and I am ready to throw in the towel. But I just pray, put the kids to bed, pray again, and get up and do it again the next day. There are so many things I am so glad to bed there for, to teach them; like when Caroline learns how to read a new word or when she learns something new that she has been trying to understand.

Well, now the not so good news... My husbands' job has changed... He was workign in the office, which I ahve been VERY thankful for. Now he has been moved to do his actual job he is trained for which takes him out of the office and outside working. I know it is selfish of me to want him inside the whole time, but I feel like he is safer when he works in the office. They are in some remote location, not on a main camp in Afghanistan. I am so worried about him. This is his forth deployment but by far the one with the most danger. I have NOT been watching any TV. We don't have cable, and out only TV is an old one and we do not have a converter box for it. This is on purpose. We did have two really nice new TV's but got rid of them to make better use of our time. Anyhow, please pray for my husband and his unit. Please pray for their safety.
