New Carpet ... Finally!

Our new carpet was installed yesterday! Our basement flooded in September and the carpet has been on back order. It was supposed to take about 5 days and it ended up taking over a month... ugh! But no complaints. It could have been a lot worse.

The kids have enjoyed the open space in the basement! Although Rhett is looking forward to being able to play the Wii soon! (All of our furniture, etc. has been in storage/unfinished part.) Now all that's left is to arrange the furniture. I'm wanting to do something different, to make better use of the space. I'm hoping that Cindy and Tabby can help me with that. For those of you that have been in my basement, I'm open to suggestions!

I've survived ...

the 1st 9 weeks! The first 9 weeks of school are always the hardest for me. When mom goes back to work is a big adjustment to the whole family to say the least! There's always so much paper work, testing, analyzing data, getting to know the students, parent conferences, etc. Plus, everything that needs to be done at home, too! This year is even more busier because I'm taking a literacy training course and I'm now the Team Leader again (I took several years off). Shew! I've been pressured by several blog readers to update, so I thought I would start by letting everyone know why I haven't had time to post lately! ;)

A LOT has happened in Sept. & Oct. so stay tuned for more updates!!
