A day to mark a balancing point

 A Day of Balance Today, September 4 back in 2002 was a day that ended my career and almost my life. Here I will share the pictures of that day. But...this is a day of balance for me. Today is the 14th Anniversary of that horrific day...but it marks a balance too. How do I explain? I loved this career and I was good at it! I took great pride in being able to bond with the children that I transported and keep them safe. I drove for 14 years. All that ended on this day. Ah, now you may see the balance. I have now NOT driven a school bus for as long as I HAD driven one. Do I miss it? Is my new life difficult?

We have always been as close to self isolation as possible and after a decade I would say we are experts. Like everyone now I have learned how to do even more things online. one of the newest things for me is looking for a new apartment! Not just a new place but one that is over a thousand miles away from here. Yes! we are moving back home to Vermont!!  I am so excited to once again be back among the green mountains and to be around extended family and loved ones will be such a balm to my wounds!...

The rest of Grade 4

Ok I'm not sure both my children would agree that I am 'Hip' but I really am more 'Groovy' than Hip  that being said I just want to catch my thoughts up on Nate's second half of his grade 4 year. now as December comes to a close I am reviewing all that he has done and I am please to see he has done quite well. He wasn't ready for grade 5 back in September so I gave him a bit of a break and just focused on repeating some things that we glossed over but he needed to move forward with. January starts him in Grade 5 and he is ready.
