It has been a while

I noticed my last post was March 9 and so much has happened since then, I am sure I can't remember everything. I am still quite busy with work and keeping the house going, but when I found out my friend @peavey died Wednesday morning, I was heartbroken. she also wasn't as active here, but we kept in touch on Facebook and I was subscribed to her blog. I wasn't home when I read her daughter's post, so I asked @GardenGerty to let everyone know and when I got home, I signed into here. I want to sign in more often, but like I said, I have been super busy, here are a few things I went through or have been doing since my last post. On March 25, my student attacked me. I was writing in his folder when he came across the room and punched the top of my head, causing a mild concussion. Fortunately, I only missed the next day of work, because the following week was spring break. I am still in that room, but now I share the responsibility of this student with another aid. (NOTE: this class is a special needs class, so it isn't like he has the ability to know right from wrong, he just acts out in frustration and almost a year later, I have connected with him enough to read his body language and know when he is angry) Then after school was over for the summer, I had a short break before 2 weeks of summer school. Then I got a fabulous job as a respite for a middle school student for the rest of the summer until 3 weeks out from the beginning od school, then I helped with 2 more weeks of summer school. So I am always doing something, and if I am not, I am resting. One new activity I am doing is looking for painted rocks and rehiding them. I actually painted a few, but I am not artistic, so I got my husband involved and that is how we get our exercise. I started doing this with the student I was taking care of this summer because her house was across the street from one of the parks. I continued it because it is the only way I can get my husband to get out and exercise since he had heart surgery in Jan. 2020. So, that is what I have been doing and why I am not here often. I miss many of you and hope that one day I won' have to work so much that I will have time to be here daily, like I used to. Have a good evening (It's 8 pm here) afternoon, or morning, talk to you later.
