This week Cathy went back to work and we were both excited to see her find something to occupy her time! She was glad to get back into her normal routine. It's not good when she has too much time to sit and "think" about all that's going on with moving and whatnot.
Steve is still enjoying his job but has started to realize that there's a LOT for him to do, and only so many hours in the day to complete everything. He's a very driven and motivated person, so when he sees a task to be completed, he works until it's done. He's getting a little frustrated at BBI because he isn't able to find one or two small tasks to be done, he's finding HUGE projects on top of HUGE projects on top of HUGE projects. He's experienced a little bit of overwhelmingness this week.
Cathy had the best day teaching 4th grade this last week. She has really been able to connect with her class and will tell you that there isn't one child in her class that is a behavior problem. They all work well together and she really enjoys going into work each day. She has made some friends at school and it's made going to work each day delightful. She is MUCH happier at Oak Grove than she was at Childs. Even though she did have some great friends at Childs and Lincoln, she just didn't like how her principal ran things... (or didn't run things) and she really did not appreciate the things that some of her teammates did while being paid to teach. As Cathy says, "They wouldn't last ONE DAY down here."
On Friday Cathy got home and we headed into Fuquay for our cheap Mexican... delicious as always. Then we went to DQ for our dessert... we came home and watched some tv, but we were both so tired that we were in bed by 9:45. Yes... we're definitely getting old... Friday night and we're in bed before 10pm.
Today the dryer guys came AGAIN... and AGAIN there was a problem. It's becoming comical how this whole thing is going down. Steve finally called Five On Your Side (the news station's problem-solvers) and we're anxious to see if they contact us and do a story about our Home Despot problems... September will be 3 months since we've been here... and it's taken that long for Home Depot to bring us our dryer.... our NEW dryer that we spent a LOT of money for...
We're going to go to Outback for dinner tonight because Cathy was talking about it with Katie (her coworker) and it got her all hot and bothered... and now we have to do something about it. We've got a 6:30 reservation and she's as happy as could be.
Cathy's mom had surgery last week and she's home and doing well. There's a physical therapist coming in to work with her on mobility and moving around and even though it's painful, she's giving it her all and doing very well! Thanks for all the prayers!!
We're going down under... be back later!
