Week 49- Opps
Wow week 49 last post was week 33 and I did not even post that full week until today. I figured now that I am home most days again that I will start blogging again. I changed my blogger template I was tired of the plain boring template. But when I did that many of my pictures did not fully show up so I went back through my old posts and fixed all the pictures. So I have gotten NOTHING done today. That seems to be the way my days are going lately. I also set up a new blog just for pictures so that when I enter contests and need to do blog post about photography things I can just post on that blog rather than linking my "family" blog up for all the world to access ( well easier access I guess).
So what happened in the last 16 weeks? I was overly busy that is what!
Claira played competitive soccer and so we were gone every weekend from September to mid November. We are currently on a "Holiday Break" from soccer and practice will begin again after the Holidays. It was a lot of fun doing the whole soccer thing but I am so glad to be taking a little break. Claira is also doing 4-H again. I am still the sewing leader but we are calling it Quilting rather than sewing just because we are making quilts for fair. Claira really likes making the stuff this year and wants to do so many projects on her own but there is just not enough time.
I was released from YW and put back in 2 minutes later. I am now working with Amy Lott she is new in our ward and it seems to be going well so far. I am taking a break from the PO for a bit well OK I guess break is not the right word but I have had to cut my hours back dramatically last week I only worked 2 hours the week before 3. Yeah, big change from the 20 I was working. Since I am not working so much I am trying to catch up on all the projects I have waiting to be finished. I am not really making much progress on that though.
Dallen is now doing Charter School. I could no longer handle the stuff going on there so we pulled him out. So far it is working out great we were very lucky in that the teacher we were placed with is a special Education teacher and is helping him learn to "deal " with his crazy learning style, she also happens to be a member of the church just in a ward in town. She is giving him a lot of writing assignments to challenge him and get him to start learning how to get things that he knows down on paper. If you are to ask him about a book that he just read, verbally he can tell you all about it but he can not seem to get it out on paper. We picked up our assignments for the next 4 weeks ( but 2 of those weeks are Christmas Vacation so we do not have to do school work), and in the assignment he has to write a fiction story. The story has to have 9 paragraphs in it. I am positive that this will be a big challenge for him but with a whole month to complete the task it should be doable. Since he is not enrolled in Janesville school he is not allowed to wrestle with the team. This was the hardest part about withdrawing him from school cause he loves to wrestle and is so good at it. I did not want to take away the thing that he excels at the most but school will just become harder each year if he does not get the help he needs now.
So that is what has been going on here. Let's see if I can keep up with my little blog at least for the rest of the year.
