Emotional day

Yesterday I did a seemingly simple thing, I posted my 'Balance' post to Facebook so that I could find the link easily from my phone. well long story short it was shared by one of the people (a former student) and then his friends and neighbors saw it and some have commented on it and now I have more contacts with some of the families from that horrific day and I am looking forward to getting to know them!
I just got off the phone with a woman who was at the school and then at the hospital later that morning. It has brought it all right back. I had a flood of tears and emotion over come me as we were talking. I am an emotional wreck but, It is a healing pain not a overwhelming pain.
I have done a lot of healing the past few years. I have to admit it was a VERY long and hard path but I am proud of the strides I have taken and  I am stronger now than I ever was and  my shattered heart is healing.

 Faith & Trust and a little Pixie-dust I am not even sure how to start this off without it becoming a complete chaotic word salad. Let me first off say that we both are fine and have no problems self isolating. That is normal life for us. for all you that have this as something new I want to say welcome to POMC Island lifestyle. The only changes I had to make was that now I only shop once a month and when I do it's with mask and gloves on and I wipe everything down. 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

Image
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.

Our Summer Evac-U-Cation

 Our summer was chock full of Adventures with a capital "A". Hurricane Irma set her cap to come our way and because of Nate's many medical issues I was urgently setting things into place, various things that I could only hope would keep him safe from the unknown safe from the what ifs. Now I will be the first to tell you that I love storms. I love the sounds and the smells of a good thunderstorm. Hurricanes too, well that was before Nate came into the world. now they bring a whole kettle of worry So as things happened, a friend of mine insisted that we reach out to our 'Island of friends' on social media to help us evacuate to NY/Vermont. So I did. Wow!!!! In a matter of hours we had enough funds to get us there. What an amazing blessing! Just the trip in its self was a overwhelming challenge but I did it. I did it with a LOT of help from my friends. So, what normally would take 2 days. ( 24 hours drive time) took us 4 days. Four long 9 hour days of ...
