One Quick Update and a good cup of old joe--di

I know it has been too long since I've written anything. We have been really busy: Jack and Molly began their preschool. I love their teachers; they seem to be having fun. I began teaching at TCC, and taking my Utopia Literature class at UTA. And, Mike's work has been busy too. I really like working, but it is difficult because I am away from my little ones more than I am used to. I do have a funny story. Jack and Molly go to preschool where we go to church, Highland Meadows Christian Church. There is a coffee shop that is always open at the church, so I have been grabbing a cup of Joe and doing my reading while they are in preschool. One day, a young guy who was getting my coffee is also in the band at church, and he mentioned that his band played at the Grapefest. I was talking to him about the Grapefest, and he asked me if I saw the AC/DC tribute band. I told him I didn't, because we were doing the bounce houses and petting zoos, but that I would have loved to, because the first concert I ever attended was an AC/DC concert. Then, he looked at me very confused-like and asked me if those guys were still together. An awkward second passed, and I confessed that this concert experience was a mere 15 years ago. He looked at me like I was a dinosaur and said Wow. I sadly got back to my reading, and noticed that my joints were a little sore, and that my highlights needed to be touched up to hide the grey. Yes, folks, I am officially an Old Lady, who saw a great rock band way back when. Back in Black has a whole new meaning for me! :)
