Hey, NM. Thanks for asking. I haven't been updating much because I have been very busy. I'm now doing some supervised teaching during summer school, and I also have additional study and assignments for the program I'm in.
Tonight for example, I have to finalize my classroom discipline plan, write a lesson plan for what I'm teaching tomorrow, figure out how to teach what I have to teach tomorrow, read about 30 pages in my teaching guidebook, write a page describing what I would do differently than my cooperating teacher, etc. I also have to revise my resume, because tomorrow is career day, and I have initial interviews with 5 different middle schools.
On the R front, W and I are going to make another attempt to go shopping together tomorrow or Friday. I'm looking forward to it and would suggest this as an activity for other guys on this board. It lets your W put you in clothes that she likes and thinks look good on you, and most women love to shop, so give it a shot.
W suprised me Monday by introducing D4 to OM. I clearly don't approve, but I don't think that meeting him is the big deal that others on this board seem to think about the OP. It used to be a big deal to me, but I realized that this was really about ME, and that meeting OM is not likely to really hurt D any more than she is already being harmed. I know that there is no way that OM could even begin to take my place in D's heart, and there's really no point about worrying about it.
In fact, it probably means that OM is leaving this week. The previous time that W made him leave, he had really wanted to meet D before he left, but I was able to talk W out of it. So I'm guessing that this is the week that he ships out to basic training.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
