The End of a Year

Since my last post, so much has passed! Both boys (and Harris) were home for the holidays; Jeremy and Harris are now on "lock-down" at Fort Hood and unable to have visitors; Christopher is headed back to New York and preparing for his big transfer to Fort Lewis in Washington state in April and Troy and I are still trudging along.

School has been a challenge in the last months and FRG has been a pain in the a@#! I was the district co-coordinator for our UIL academic meet this year. Our group consisted of four districts and eight schools uniting for academic competitions over two half days. Without Mr. LeBeau as my partner (in crime) it would not have been such a roaring success. It went off without any major hitches and we were commended for our efforts. Very proud of the work we did!

I have also gained a few new students who challenge on many new levels. Why must children be so rude and disrespectful? All I am trying to do is help them!

FRG is a mess. Drama, drama, drama... I won't go into the details, but suffice it to say that I am about done with the whole mess. I guess I actually am in one sense because Jeremy is officially out of the unit while he is attached to the Fort Knox unit for deployment and Troy has not been "returned" officially to Baker and the 90th from the Virginia unit he deployed with. We'll see what the new year brings. I love helping the soldiers and their families, but some people just make it impossible to do that.

Looking forward to a new year with lots of new possibilities and exciting new adventures
