I haven't posted for over a month. I was really going to be better this year, but I just can't. It is a tremendous time of stress in our house as one has come home from college and one is preparing to leave for college. The family dynamic thing is tense and hard. Lots of people going in different directions. Give me 8 year olds any day and I can parent..........18 and 20???? ugh! You basically have to "stay out of it" and just pray they make the right decisions. Poor Jakey just watches it all.........I also have had two friends lose children this past month. The pain of that is unbearable. The students I serve at school are either in some real trauma or homeless..........how do you convince people who have never had a work ethic to have one? that it can save their lives? I am amazed at the people who expect others to do for them.........we leave next week for St. Thomas and I just hope it is the much needed break we all need.
