The Math Teacher

Mr. Math Teacher is a "real" math teacher now!! He is the long-term substitute in a high school math class, working for a teacher who just had a baby Monday night. He actually got the job about a month ago so he's been getting himself prepared to start. He was supposed to start on Friday so he went in Monday to get a feel for what he will be doing. He planned to sleep in on Tuesday, but he got a call at 10:30pm Monday. It was the math teacher, now in labor. She had the baby about five hours later, Mr. Math Teacher learned later. In any case, he was up and out early Tuesday morning to be a "real" math teacher.

The kids were very happy about Dad working. In fact, Wild Man was quite distressed that I would consider making him do schoolwork on such a special day. But, we did work. And, the kids decorated the house and made cupcakes so to celebrate. It was a great day for everyone. And Mr. Math Teacher survived his first day!!

That's awesome! I know all of you are excited and we're excited for you! Just hope the teacher doesn't come back anytime soon so hopefully Mr. Math Teacher can stay employed!!!
