Yes, I'm in class tonight. We're just installing WinXP on school hard drives and I already have done that, so we're just marking time.
So, now my life is busy busy busy! Part time job in the mornings, and now school three times a week in the evenings, adding in taking care of the three kids and the missus while she recovers from this last relapse.
The TV arrived today and I guarantee you, it was the first thing set up... First time in the past week our bedroom wasn't used as a jungle gym -- the only entertainment we had was my computer in the bedroom on the desk, playing the first three seasons of House. Now Jojo and I can reclaim our bedroom as ours, the kids have gotten their clothes and a bunch of toys, I put away all the kitchen items, especially welcome was several gifts like SILVERWARE (which we were using plastic spoons and mismatching forks and such) and an awesome set of Kitchen Aid pots and pans. Red and stainless -- great colors and they go reasonably well with our purple see-through pots and pans which I got from a thrift store.
Jojo brought a bunch of nice decorations and dishtowels, a few chairs and some furniture pieces.
All in all, our dream is coming true and I'm happy -- though quite reasonably very tired. But it's a contented tired and Jojo and I snapped at each other once or twice for a total of thirty seconds and other than that, we've been golden. The kids have been good, though we still need to get used to one another and how we all behave and what our expectations are. Just the usual, I suppose.
Also, I cannot express easily how good it feels in general, just to be active and productive again considering all the years I spent in the hospital.
That's it for now; gotta go on break, then back to lecture! Tomorrow math and Friday night, intro to programming (which is one book and is approximately the same size and density as the Shanghai yellow pages).

Wow, what a full load you're carrying! I really admire someone who can manage all that and still stay sane :)

I'm not an instructor, though I could be. I go to ITT Tech currently, working on my Associates first in networking, then going on to my bachelors in information systems security. I've been through years of college, never really knowing what I wanted to do; computers were only a hobby of mine until I met Jojo and she was and is, extremely supportive of my efforts. What are you taking this summer and where?
