working from home

So now that I'm in Boise, I'm working from home.  

Here are some of my thoughts about it:

1. I really appreciate my job/boss letting me do this.  This was pretty big for him to let me do this so I'm appreciative for that.

2. Somedays I don't leave the house.

3. I seem to get more done since I don't have people to talk to.

4. I don't have anyone to talk to.

5. I'm able to concentrate really well when I'm working from home.

6.  When I need something to break up the silence I listen to TBTL w/ Luke Burbank or BSU's NPR.

7. I don't wear makeup during the day now.

8. Boise (and our house) is really dry.  I bought a humidifier and have been boiling water all day to put some moisture in the air.

New Job

Dusty will be at a different school starting Monday. He will now be teaching a 1st/2nd split class. The school he has been at for the last 3 years is below their enrollment numbers by 3 kids and another school in the district really needs a teacher. Since he has the least seniority (darn unions) in the grade category, he's the one selected for the transfer.

He's shocked by this announcement and real nervous to be teaching young kids. He's been a 4th grade teacher for 3 years. He's not used to teaching kids how to write and read. He's also real sad to be leaving his current class. He was really looking forward to this year with that group of kids.

Although this has come as a surprise to us, we thank God for this new opportunity to reach a whole new bunch of kids and families.
