Man-O-Man,
Readers. I have been through a huge change since the last time or times I have blogged. To save you from having your eyes just cross, I'll list some of the changes since my last blog. Be aware that some have already been discussed but old changes lead to where I am today.
1. Moved to Grand Rapids, MI
2. Took a position at University
3. University co-workers from Hell (1st year)
4. Stayed; thought things would change (2nd year); started new University PhD program
5. New Leader was even more evil she wasn't from Hell; she was Hell.
6. Put in resignation
7. Oldest son not being taught in school; falling through the cracks. needed extra help.
8. Decided to work with him myself; skilled SLP; I could teach him.
9. Began working with him and watch tremendous growth
10. Decided to home school and continue to pursue PhD.
11. Do not exactly like the city that I am living in; not very many black middle class families.
12. Frederick with new position; wants to work for 1 year at the company in order to transfer to a different city.
13. Happy at this point about working with my own kids. I feel more in control about what they are learning. Kids like the home school; but often miss the social interaction. It is hard to find outside of school. I'm working hard to find a balance.
14. We are living in an apartment. This is fine, but we are starting to miss living in a home with a yard; just our own space.
That pretty much sums it up in a nutshell. What big changes!
