I guess it's Ok

 The issue: Trying to stay in touch with friends on FB and have them repeatedly ignore you. You still love them but at what point do you quit trying?

Do you continue to get ignored or do you delete and move on?

Choc-it

Valentines day has come and gone and the children and I are left in a sugar induced coma like state. I slept some of it off this morning. However the kids get to go to school in a daze maybe even a little confused. :)

 So on to the updates!

  The art show was fun as usual. Although anytime I get to do live demo's I have tons of fun. There were more people there than last year but the only people I knew were my in-laws who came for about 5 minutes. I feel bad because it was out in the boonies so I am sure that's what killed it for most people. Nonetheless,my art guild buddies made for good company and the food and drinks were a bonus as well.

My complaint for the day!

My son Troy cannot do the same things as your child,that is all.

Better Late than Never

  Just thought I'd drop a line and let everyone know about the latest news. I have been very busy and/or sick lately so I haven't taken to writing much in the last couple of weeks but I am on the mend now and have a second to fill you all in.

  Like I said I have been ill for the last couple of weeks. Just really struggling with stomach issues and horrible fatigue. I suspect it may have been mono as that is going around. I am still tired now but I can slowly feel my strength coming back. Other than that I've had a few school meetings this last couple of weeks and another meeting scheduled  in a couple of weeks. Our second son Gabriel has been in trouble off an on this last week and a half for several things. For instance; Getting on the wrong bus and going to the YMCA to hang out with a girl from his class. Last Saturday while my in-laws were watching him he took off on his bike and rode all the way to our house by himself to get something and freaked everyone out,I am not sure if he even had his helmet on.Lastly he got in trouble at school because he was pretending that a bark chip was a sword and he was pretending to have a sword fight with someone. Apparently,according to the principal a little bark chip is seen as a huge threat and Gabe could have had charges brought against him but of course they "let it slide this once."......A bark chip.....bark chip.....Yeah, I'm sorry that just sounds ridiculous. Nonetheless we had a long talk with him.He is grounded from gaming on the computer and the PS3 among other things.

  Let's see what else............One of the meetings was for Paul and it was basically just a review of his progress and prep for  his annual reevaluation. It went very well. The next meeting scheduled is for Gabriel and he we are meeting to get the process going for an IEP. From there than we can have him evaluated for Autism as well,though I already know he falls somewhere on the spectrum.

  I also had an appointment with the SS office this last week to get them all updated on pay-stubs shenanigans. While I was there I set up Troy's first appointment for SSI and that happens next week. Yesterday I got to go to a birthday party with Emma(Papa and Mama watched the boy's) then we went to a Bible study,didn't get home until about 9. Tomorrow and Sunday I have an art show outside of Lebanon at a winery. I am hoping to find a babysitter for both Saturday and Sunday so I can actually get a live demonstration in...fingers crossed and saying a little prayer! :) Then on Monday is Troy boy's 5th birthday but we won't be celebrating it until next weekend.We decided this year that we would keep it simple as to not overwhelm him. Just a small party at our place with family.

OH! Before I forget I have a rather large announcement to make! I have decided to go back to school. Most likely it will not be happening until NEXT Fall.So yeah,a ways away,LOL! Atleast that gives me time to prep the kids and have them all in school when I start. I have decided to go into Mortuary Sciences. I actually met with a friend that owns and runs a local funeral home yesterday. He let me interview him so i could get a more personal perception of the job itself. The schooling will take about one or two more year(s) (than I have already got under my belt) and then I will  apprenticeship for 1-3 three years. Most likely about 2 years.

So that is what's going on and I'll try to post updates about the art show in the evenings!
