Tired

Wow this week has been crazy busy!
Mark's Schedule First:
Tues-Thurs Mark has/will be waking up around 4:30 so he can drive people from ATK's Magna plant to just past Brigham City by 7:00 for a training they are doing at the larger aerospace plant. On Tues. after the drive up, training, and drive back he went out with the elders to visit families in the ward. He actually got in bed at 9:30 last night with me which is so much earlier than he usually does, and the earliest since we got married! Friday I am not sure if he has training or work.
Jill's Schedule:
Monday - Wednesday I either woke up at 5 or at 4:30 with Mark to study for an exam I took last night in Provo after school! Last Thursday I was up until 2 am stressed that I wouldn't get the class finished in time to graduate. Tuesday after being at school with the kids I went to my own BYU history class from 5:00-7:30, got home around 8:15, and went to bed with my book where I feel asleep much faster than I anticipated! I have written 3 worksheets and 2 tests this week since my math textbook doesn't address everything I am supposed to teach. Today I will be at school from 7:45 am - 8:00 pm. I am contracted from 7:50-4 but always try to get there a few minutes early so if traffic is bad I won't be late. Tonight the school is holding a parent education night and I am the 5th grade teacher that didn't say no to the literacy/math coordinator when asked to help (, one is having her bridal shower and I don't know about the other). Tomorrow I am going to take a friend to the airport before work ( happy to do by the way, not mad at all, I promise). When I get to school I will have the day to both teach "meaningful" lessons and pack my whole classroom into a walk-in-closet (which I have done before and know is possible with problem solving skills, hopefully my mind still has those by tomorrow). Finally Friday (if we aren't dead by then) Mark and I will drive down to Provo to go to a senior party at BYU. Saturday is my sister-in-law's bridal shower, which I am very excited about, but feel bad I haven't done more for, and that will be in Orem. Sunday I teacher primary and then Monday I am going to SLEEP IN followed by calling every number I can think of to help me get a job in NC!!!
Anyway that's our schedule... I know everyone else most likely one that is even busier, but for us that's a lot!

I remember how hard school was. That's why I made myself get my master's right after bachelor's because, if not, I would NEVER have put myself through that again! But to teach on top of that?!? Thank goodness you're almost done.

I'm jealous if the senior party you're talking about is the big one under the football stadium. That was a blast with all the free food and free entertainment you could ever think of.

You all have fun at the shower on Saturday. I wish I could be there.

Oh, and I know Fayetteville is looking for a huge amount of teachers for next year, so maybe that's true for Raleigh. Good luck!
