Well, it's big news folks. I'm writing this post from my house. Wow. The internet has finally come to 51 Tofte Homestead Rd. Well, dial up has anyway. Which is painful, true. But it's affordable, and it works in a pinch--an answer to prayer. Hoo-cha!
Neal and I also had another big answer to prayer today, but I'll wait a bit to share that one. No, I'm not pregnant, just in case you were wondering.
Our truck decided to spew green all over the ground yesterday, apparently in honor of St. Patrick's Day. The water we poured in leaked right back out, so it's not just a hose. Apparently you can see a decent crack, and the previous owner had poured some leak-stop stuff in there, so I guess it's been brewing for a bit. Great. We got it towed up to Grand Marais this evening, so we're praying that won't be a massive bill.
I started an online college class this week--a Human Relations/Multicultural Education class that I need to get my MN teaching license. It's a 15 week class crammed into 8 weeks, which is fine by me. I just need to work at being on the internet and getting all of my reading done when I need to.
One of Neal's high school friends and groomsman from our wedding is coming up tonight to propose to the love of his life, so that should be exciting. And on that note, I have to work soon, so I should probably get going. Hopefully they'll come in and share the story--it sounds like it's going to be epic. Rope ladders and balconies are involved. Wow.
Pray for me and my preschool class too, if you think of it. I have a few new kids, and I've been getting really worn out in general lately. I love my jobs, but seven 4 year old children who want all of your attention ALL DAY get to be a bit much by the end when you're trying to raise them as much as teach them.
PS. AA, thanks for the response to my frantic IM the other day. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. My kids were putting me on the verge of a nervous break down. They all fell asleep at rest time, so I let rest time linger an extra 15...30 minutes. :o)
