Woo-hoo! It's TCAP time in Tennessee, and Lisa are I and all of our teaching colleagues are unbelievably excited! Please note the sarcasm. TCAP is like the MEAP in Michigan, and most teachers generally agree that this time of the year is one of the worst, and a time we don't look forward to. It's usually a very draining week, and I always feel bad for making kids take so many meaningless tests (yes, meaningless, unless you're a politician or a realtor) in the span of a week. Anyway, please be praying for me, Lisa, our teaching friends, and especially for the kids who will be testing every day next week.
Things are slowing down and getting relaxing here. We've got all of our furniture, and are now just arguing with the HOA over our privacy fence, a battle I'm pretty certain we'll win. Other than that, it's smooth sailing down here in the South. Grace loves the backyard, and we try to get her out and play soccer every chance we can. She's into eating the grass right now, and she usually doesn't feel too great after doing that, so time in the backyard isn't for too long. I mowed the lawn over the weekend, not paying attention to the 70-degree weather, and got sunburned. It wasn't that bad, just enough to remind me to wear sunscreen when I mow again tomorrow.
I'm catching all sorts of grief from my friends for the Tigers' 0-7 start. Come on, boys, do something, please! Lisa and I are going to veg in front of the TV and watch the Tigers and Red Sox in HD tonight, so hopefully Bonderman will have a good game for us, and we finally start hitting!
I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but I'm tired, so I'm going to cut this one short. Stay tuned for more, and thank you all for your continued prayers. We love you all.
