I have decided that a new full time position in the district and a full time caseload of cna for my girl just not quite enough. I have enrolled in full time college courses online. Crazy it may seem to some, impossible to imagine and perhaps even ridiculous. Add in a middle school boy with [...]

My oldest son moves out today. Last night I sat down to write him a letter. I had no direction as the pen hit the paper, yet it wasn’t long before the page was full and the thought were shared. The table that I sat at was covered with tear drops; some sad and some happy. I [...]

Things continue to progress in a positive way around here.
