Dude You're Gonna Be a Dad

First off, the Boston Marathon bombing shocked me this week and I was reminded that there are people in this world I need to protect my family from.

Since Saturday, Steph has been feeling much better. She has her old personality back, which makes life around the apartment pleasant. Her nausea has almost completely subsided. She no longer dry heaves at the mere touch of my hand which allows for kissing and cuddling at night and what not.

Steph spent the weekend recovering her strength and she is back in the classroom this week. She has less energy than normal. The time is 8:17 p.m. currently and she is already tucked in bed.

My week has been interesting so far. On Monday, my technological prowess as a young educator was tested to its capacities. During the middle of my lesson, I found that Google Earth no longer worked for my students. I gave Tech a call and found out that the one day I had chosen to do one of my most glorious (and internet necessary) activities, was also the day the middle schools were commencing ISTEP testing on the internet. Apparently, the Google Earth tour of Europe I had designed for my students was so powerful, it was slowing the students testing! So Tech cut off my bandwidth. I did a little haggling with them and got some back. I had the students turn off all the map layers except the base and 3-D buildings layers, this gave me the capacity to run half of my computers. So it turned into a partner activity.

Today one of my students was suspending pending expulsion for striking another teacher on my academy. 

And that's my week so far. When I came home, I found a parcel by our door from some good friends in Bloomington, Illinois. One unintended consequence of starting this blog is that family and friends have been great with offering me advice. My ignorance in this subject area is pretty obvious and so I have welcomed it. We both received gender specific pregnancy books. The title of mine seems to fit me pretty well.
