Mrs. Casey has decided on having a C-section on November 5th. Before that, our director said I could rearrange my class schedule to take some time off to go up and be with her. Once the missus decided on the date, she said she wished I could take the entire week. I told her I would have to ask, but she had to understand if they said I couldn't, she said she did.
When I told the director the date and that my wife was hoping I could spend the week with her she said "Definitely. You're helping by covering classes till we can find a new economics teacher (the teacher, a brit, quit after a week for whatever reason), so we can do something to help you. We can cover your classes.
