It's been dreary, windy, cold, and rainy the last 4000 days. Well, not that many but it seems like it. It's amazing how one's spirits can be lifted when the sun is out, or, the opposite - when it's miserable weather for several days - then one can be miserable in attitude to go along with it.
It's nearing the end of the year and as always, the question looms - an entire special education "elephant" must be eaten in just a few weeks and one must be careful to manage one's time so that everything is done by May 17. I have applied to work an addendum contract this summer because expenses regarding a possible selling of our house are going to be needed - so, unlike other years, when the last day comes, it won't be the last day for me (if the application goes through). I love love love having summers off, but out of necessity, routines indeed must change.
So in a few days, my oldest will be 37. I remember the day of her birth as if it were yesterday - and to have a child that's on the downhill slide to 40 is almost inconceivable for me. Nevertheless, it's 2017 and life marches on.
Thankful today for this life. Thankful for home and family. That is all.
