Things are changing...

It's funny how some things stay constant and others are constantly changing. We have some changes going on in our lives...the most obvious one being Ted's campaign. We've really had to juggle and let some things go in order to maintain a mostly sane life the last few weeks. I've given up dusting...and there are literally cobwebs between the picture fames in the lower level to prove it! And I haven't been to the grocery store in a few weeks...although we were really well stocked before the school year started. Somehow I got on an insurance committee for our teachers' union. I guess it's because I've been so vocal about what I consider a negative direction our leadership has been following. I cut my hair! It is at about chin level. I'm getting used to it and I think I kind of like it. It definitely makes me look older :-(

The biggest change, and the hardest decision I've ever had to make was moving Kellen from his current daycare setting to a Montessori School. I know it is a good change, he will be getting a wonderful education and it will even save us about $1500. But the teachers he is leaving are wonderful and they love him so much. He's been with them for the entire time he's been at Tutor Time-three years now. Everyone knows him by name, he has quite a few friends and he really, truly enjoys being there. But there are some significant issues with the administration that we aren't comfortable with and felt the time to make a change was now. Miss Liz, Miss Tanya, Miss Danielle, and Nette, please know how very much you mean to us and keep checking back to the blog. I will keep putting pictures up and hope that you will stay in touch.

My sisters know how much of an issue I have with good-byes...so these last couple of weeks have been really hard for me. I've cried quite a bit and Kellen has been so sweet about it..."Mommy, do you have tears??" and then he would get me a kleenex and try to make me laugh. He is really a very sweet little boy and I am so lucky to have him in my life.

Gotta go to another one of those insurance committee meetings. Hope you are all doing well!
