Wow. Have you ever had one of thsoe weeks that just wont end?

So Criss goes to her convention in Tampa and that week and the following one seemed to last years. I now understand how people can pine away weeks of their lives. I know I was pining when crissy was gone.
She gets back, and we are so out of sync because of the time differences and jet lag. Last week was just a blur, and it made it really difficult to do anything except eat, sleep, and go teach because we had to. this week seems to be going much better, we are finally getting to sleep before midnight most evenings, and we are getting back into our rythym.
so lets see.

1. We have now gotten a full time teacher for the kids. William Jr does 2 hours of school work a day, and brings home math homework. Zeb also does 2 hours, and Rae gets only one hour a day, but her kindergarden stuff and first grade stuff. We are humming along nicely in the school department.

2. we have another foreign teacher here who was a boyscout pack leader in the states, and he would like to help us by running the boyscouts stuff for Will Jr, and Zeb. Rae really wants to join, but we will be starting girl scouts stuff with her soon.

3. The school has asked if we intend to return next year. We have told them we would like to. So we will see who they invite back, and see if they are the people we want to deal with.

4. Here is why, Christine was offered a terrific job in Tokyo Japan. The salary is 2x what she makes here (that includes my paltry 3600 rmb a month), it includes travel allowances to go to TESOL convention every year, and it is supposed to include housing. We will see about that part because she did not tell them about the family (she told them she was married, so a flat for a married couple is about 1/2 the size of a flat for 5 people. And this is tokyo we are talking about.) But we are hoping... ... ...

5. We have gaming group here. We managed to find 6 people who want to play D&D and Rifts. We play D&D on friday nights, and Rifts on Saturday. Sunday is our local Movie Night (watched donnie darko on sunday. OMG that is a fantastic movie.)
