A Crazy Week

It has been a crazy week. Kyle has been preparing to leave and I can't believe everything he has to pack. He is leaving for a month for a non-commissioner officer training. I spent two night in with him at work helping him pack. We went back to his work after dinner and worked on finding and packing all this stuff until after 2200 each night. We have heard WLC is like basic training for NCOs. Haha, it should be lots of fun. All I know is that a lot of money has gone into this school. His stuff getting stolen could not have come at a less inconvenient time. Being in Germany presented a couple problems finding replacement gear. We have ordered a lot off the internet, but of course it doesn't get here that quickly so he is borrowing a lot of stuff. We aren't really excited that he is going to be gone for a month, but it should hopefully help him get a long awaited promotion. His school is about 2 hours away and we have heard rumors that I can go and have lunch and dinner with him. I hope this is true, but we will wait and see. I am at least hoping I can drive up and have Thanksgiving dinner with him in the chow hall. We were suppose to have a bunch of company, but now it will just be me at home alone if I can't go see Kyle. And I won't be making Thanksgiving dinner just for myself.
While Kyle has been preparing for WLC, I have been preparing for the dreaded Parent/Teacher conferences. I always say I have to come up with nice ways to say not so nice things about people's children, their pride and joys. I never thought after last year, a class could get any worse, ha! I was wrong, this class is like 5x as bad. I have decided that I will be honest with everyone and say something like "You know, your child is out of control. Being disciplined at home would really be helpful. Have you ever tried spanking?" I wish I could say something like that, my aide suggested stratigically posting the Bible verse Proverbs 13:24 "He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him." To bad I would lose my job if I did any of these things, and some parents might think I am for beating children! I am pretty worried, because by the end of the month, I will have 3 girls in my class and 16 boys in my class. I will need some major prayers come December. I really do love these kids, they are just really naughty, and way to many boys plus I have been in need of this little break. By the time I see them next I will have had a 6 day break, which is so sweet!

Well, I just thought I would share about our ever exciting lives. Oh yes, we have decided nothing to serious must be wrong with Kyle, the doctor's have yet to get back to us.
