Happy 4th of July

boy have I been negligent of my blogging lately. School has been taking a lot of my time and energy! Plus my niece is getting married and I am doing lots of creative stuff for her.

My #3 child is a child of deep emotions! We have had many daily phone calls helping her through the deepest emotions, it is amazing for 3 weeks we had daily contact, often a crisis in the midst. I would talk her through getting up in the morning etc etc...take all the phone calls whith her sobbing in the phone giving her the support she needs to make it though the moment. The finally I ask her Dad to call her, and all of a sudden she is out of the depression! (of course telling the boyfriend to f off happened at that time also!) I know Daddy helped but she was already on the road to feeling better.

I am nervous about the new school year, the kids were all doing so well when they went to 1st grade. I forget what it is like to have a new batch of kinders...tears, establishing rules, teaching how to hold a pencil, writing their name, speaking English etc etc. I know it will all go well I just need to relaaaaax and take each day as it comes.

wish me luck!!!!
