It would seem that I have been slacking on this blog, since I haven't posted anything since October, so for that I apologize.
It has been a KRAY-ZEE time in the McDaniels' household since October. Hmmmmmm, where to begin....
First, I have been working on my portfolio for photography, slowly, but surely its coming along. Its hard work, and I don't want it to become uninteresting for me, so I am taking it slowly. Also, I volunteer at Aaron's school on the Mondays I don't have preschool. The moms and I are still conducting preschool on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays alternating weeks. It has been wonderful. I think we have finally adjusted to Virginia life, even though we, meaning I, would prefer to be back in Georgia. I am thinking about checking into doing substitute teaching come the fall when CAM starts kindergarten, so we will see how that goes.
James, well, lost his job in October, and then found another one pretty much right away, which is good. He loves the job, and they seem to really like him. He didn't get much of a raise, but we will take any job over none at all. With the job change comes new changes, such as insurance which is a PIA, but we deal with it.
Aaron has been succeeding in school. We have had some issues with aggressive behaviors, and the principals, school counselor and we are at a loss of what we can do to help with his impulsiveness. The counselor has decided to start a social skills group, which I think Aaron will benefit from and also, James and I are discussing getting him back into karate.
Colin, the control freak, is still just that. He has to be in control of everything and confirm everything everyone says. Boy, its annoying, but I know its just pure genius at work. He is excelling at preschool, when he is with the other moms, but with me, its a completely different story.
Last, but not least, Trevor. He is doing wonderful. He is such a intelligent and wise young man. He is making straight A's in school, this last report he was making a C in one class, but he usually brings up the grades and ends up making a 4.0 gpa by the end of the year. The JROTC has promoted him, and that is a great opportunity. Also, he is gonna try to take college level class next year, his junior year, so he will be able to graduate with an Associates Degree. We are so very proud of him, and KNOW that he will do awesome in anything he decides.
Well, that has been a quick update for the McDaniels family and stuff blog. Hopefully, I will give you more SOON!!!
I'm on a roll here so thought I would do it one more time. Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
ReplyDeleteAnd it isn't...I think I have corrected the issue.
