A Brief update while fighting exhaustion.

Ok. So I thought I would do a lot more blogging than I have done. It isn't that I have forgotten; I've just been busy. And Bill has the computer sometimes too when I am in the mood to write, so that doesn't help. But, I am still here. And right now I am tired. It is almost midnight, and that is late for me. But, I was in the blogging vicinity, so I thought I'd jot off a quick note while I was here. Much has happened since I last wrote, and maybe sometime when I am not so sleepy, I will go into more detail. Until then, I am going to make it a brief catch-up. School ended about two weeks ago, and I am glad. Though I enjoyed working with the students, the whole atmosphere was dysfunctional, and therefore exhausting. It drained me. So I am happy about having a break now. I did get hired to teach ESL next year at a different school (a healthy, happy school!), and I am really excited about that! I am hoping that soon I will be able to start working on my classroom and lesson plans. The way that job worked out is a HUGE blessing and really the hand of the Lord was so evident in it all. I'll have to share more about that sometime. Bill and I are thrilled about it. Then one of our cars went caput, so it became inevitable that we needed a new one. We sold our faithful little Sunfire and just bought a '05 Grand Am. It is the newest and also the most expensive car I have ever had. So yes, that means we now have car payments for the first time since we have been married, which I'm sure will prove to be fun. But thanks to a friend, we got a great deal on it, and we are happy with our new purchase. At least I won't have to ride my bike to work (though it would be a good workout for me!). It is now midnight, and I am tired, tired. I need to go to sleep. I love sleeping. So off to bed I go. Hopefully my next entry will be intellectually stimulating, full of brilliant writing and interesting details.
Goodnight for now.
