The Big Move

You may congratulate me!  My classroom is (mostly) moved...and I really like my new surroundings.  It was a chaotic week at school, however, and at least the beginning of this next week will be, too. Grades are due.  We have been advised NOT to move our computers to the new environs until our grades are exported to the Guidance Department.  We are to get new computers, too...so the race will be on to get info moved from one to the other.  I sure wish I knew more about how computers work!

On Friday, Meg came down after school to assist with moving my "schtuff."  She left the grandchildren with Grandma Judy while we carted stuff from one room (upstairs) to the new one (downstairs).  Thereafter, we attended an evening event at the Plainfield United Methodist Church--something called Snack and Craft, sponsored by a Sunday School class.  Babysitting is provided while women bring in their craft projects, spread out on the tables, and work on whatever craft projects they have in the fellowship of other "crafty" women.  Sometimes I work on scrapbooking.  Sometimes I grade papers.  That's what I did this time.  Robin, God bless her, spoke of a "sleepover" from the beginning...so we had a sleepover!  Meg and the children stayed overnight.

Know what's wrong with sleepovers?  Away from their normal bedrooms and beds, the children don't sleep!  Robin, my roommate on "sleepovers", will NOT go to sleep until Gwamma gets there.  This time, it was almost 2:00 AM.  <sigh>

I spent part of Saturday helping my friends Harold and Jo Ann get their house packed up to get it ready to put on the market.  The rest of the day, I just enjoyed my solitude (and napped some). 

Today, I went to school to work on my new room some, then went to Wal-Mart to stock up on food.  After rain in the morning, it turned into a really nice day--low 60's in temp.  Of course, the rains returned with threats of more heavy stuff overnight.  We have flooding in parts of the state.  Rain, rain--go away!
