A time of renewing....

So, I have really wanted to get back to blogging. Many times I will be driving and think, that is a great topic to blog about, only to go on with my life. Needless to say, it does not get done. I will try to blog better in the future (OK Carol??)

Life is still the same in NLR. Jobs are INCREDIBLY busy! I am working as a LSW (licensed social worker) in a local nursing home. This is my second NH job. (I have since learned that with NH sometimes it's similar to the police, when you get a new leader, other are brought in). I won't go into the story but I can say that the change was definately for the better. Now, do I still work long hours and need a vacation? YES!!!! It's a very challenging job.

Aimee is doing great. She is in 3rd grade and is so bright. She is in the top of her class with her composite test scores. Her grades are pretty good and her homework grade would be better if she remembered to turn it in. Her teacher says "Aimee do you have to have a personal invitation to turn it in?". Third grade is HARD.....at least for me! Her spelling words are just so much longer than in the past (which I know, is the point) and they are working on multipication and cursive. My baby is not a baby anymore!!! She was working with us on her skip counting and we were rocking the 2's and 5's. She then asked me to do the 12's after I surpassed her on the 3's. I could not do them and had to stop 1/2 way in.

Anyway, my early morning post is to an end....she is awake and ready to watch the sunrise!
