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.

Five years ?!?!?!

  WOW how crazy is that? it's been 5 years since I posted here. I have on occasion thought about posting but never actually did. I am definitely the queen of procrastination. So, here I am once more...now officially BACK! I'm sure no one missed me as I have barely been here often enough for even Me to miss 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? How do I feel? for over a decade I struggled with PTSD for quite a few of those years I was in a very low and dark place. I had 'lost' as it were "Me" I was walking around empty. void of life. hollow. dark. swallowed up by the pain. PAIN both physical and mental. alone. longing to find that which was lost but unable to find it. I did not seek help, I did not...
