Update

Hello everyone! I thought I would stop in and give a little update. Things have not been good on the home front. Actually things are very bad and I'm not sure if we can recover from them. I want to, desperately, but who knows at this point. I just feel like we keep getting kicked over and over again.

I've obviously fallen off the bandwagon for Project 365 and I'm upset about that. I have a few more posts to do with the pictures I have taken. Maybe I will try again next year.

I am also looking for a new blog name. I will be getting away from the military life writing and would like to take this a more personal route. I am open to any and all suggestions.

I am hoping one day I will be able to say everything is great and it worked out the way it was supposed to, but right now I just feel lost, alone and overwhelmed.

Thank goodness for the end of the school year which is fast approaching! My civics students are getting ready to take their end of course exam, which this is the first year the score will be counting for or against the students and myself. I'm REALLY nervous! I hope they will do ok, but seeing as we have no real guidelines on what will be on the assessment, I have a hard time feeling like my students are prepared. Plus the amount of information we have to cover in the school year is just ridiculous.

With the end of the school year also comes a mad rush for my course recovery kids. Most are working to pass onto the next grade and most have really lite a fire under their butts. Unfortunately not all have and some are in danger of repeating the same grade again next year, that summer school won't help them. It's really stressful this time of year for me. I am constantly watching and prodding and pushing them. It makes for long days at work and even longer days at home at night. I'm ready for a break.

I NEED a break! I need to focus on me and what makes me happy. I have lost myself and I need to find her. I can't make others happy without me being happy first and loving myself. Which I don't at the moment.

Sorry for the vagueness. I wish I could go more into detail, but I'm just not ready yet, which is why the blog has been so silent.

So, I hope you will all bear with me during this time and I hope that I won't lose too many of you due to my silence.

Happy Monday y'all!!!!!

Just a little update

Hello there! Sorry I have been absent so much lately. I have wanted to write for awhile now, but just haven't known exactly what to say. So here is a little update.

First, off things have been slowly improving in multiple areas of my life lately and it has been amazing! Let me tell you! I feel like a huge weight has been lift off and that I have a lot less anxiety lately which is awesome!

Second, our children are growing and becoming such funny, awesome little people. Our son is growing into such a young man and our daughter is turning into a little diva/spitfire. They keep us quite busy. But I don't think I would have it any other way.

Third, this week is my son's Kindergarten round up!!!!! Holy cow! Where has the time gone?!??! I cannot believe we are going to be visiting his school and getting geared up for Kindergarten in the fall. Where did my baby go??? :( I am happy and sad about this all at the same time.

Fourth, my Origami Owl business has dropped off quite a bit. I'm quite bummed about it and I'm not sure how to change it. I want it to be a little bigger than it is and it's frustrating to not know how to fix it.

and finally, I am looking forward to summer and getting some time to work out and some time to relax. I also can't wait to see my aunt who is coming the beginning of April. I have missed seeing her as much since my grandma passed away.

I hope you are all having a great Monday. It's cloudy, rainy and chilly here in the sunshine state.
