another month over

So another month is over--another month for which to pay bills, teach, sleep, and such.

I can't believe how fast and yet how slow the school year seems to be going by. I spend the weekend at the regional TI conference in Kilgore. It was a lot of fun hanging out with my math teaching buddies and seeing a few other familiar faces from the math world. I even won a door prize at the very end! My very own Smartview Software. It was either that, TI Interactive or a NuMBERs t-shirt. I walked away with a technology wish-list and such, and new ideas for the classroom, or at least, the future.

Nothing much interesting has been going on in our lives. We've both been taking turns being sick the last two weeks. Nasty sinus crud. I've also been experience worse pain in both my knees and my right calf--kind of where the Achilles tendon is... but at least it in't a blood clot.

It seems the last week has been filled with baby news from all over my little world--hearing that some friends are pregnant, hearing one friend safely delivered her little boy, finding out someone else will be having a girl, and one of the teachers at school is gonna be a grandma...that kind of thing. and I know of two other people who are at least trying. But we are not inspired :-) Maybe when Josh's loans go down...or at any rate, when God says so.

I've had all sorts of various thoughts and ideas floating around...but none of them have really taken hold for serious thought and discussion. Oh, i did discover the beauty of the hasting teacher discount card :-DDDDD In fact, i'm about to price out how much the Numbers Seasons 1 and 2 would cost... (I could actually use them in teaching!)

Anyways. that's my update for now.
