It has been quite awhile since I have been able to sit down and work on the blog. I am hoping that things will get back on track for December.
As many of you know this has been a very emotionally challenging month for me. It began with the decision to become a solo teacher again, which was not an easy one.
I was able to speak to many of you two weeks ago when my family was devastated by the loss of my eighteen year old cousin to suicide. Your support and flexibility were appreciated greatly. We were able to get through the grief long enough to spend Thanksgiving as a family together. We had an amazing day filled with laughter, smiles and family. The day after Thanksgiving my cousin was laid to rest at his burial in the morning. That evening my grandmother passed away suddenly from heart issues. We are grateful that we had the one last day to enjoy with her and she was so happy. I was surprised at my strength today, being back to preschool after such a roller coaster of a weekend. I was so thankful to just be back into a routine and here with the kids.
This week is a busy one. I will be out on Wednesday for my Nana's burial. Dana and "Aunt Steph" (my sister in law) will be here with the kids. Thursday and Friday we will be saying farewell to Ethan and Kendall, who are both expecting siblings soon!
As soon as things get settled I will begin the next round of the snack rotations, as many of you have been asking.
Thanks again for all your support and understanding as I pick myself up by my bootstraps and keep marching. Your children are lights in my life and I find comfort just being here with them!
