It has been a while since my last post....not because nothing fun and exciting has happened - but because so much has been going on I have not come up for air. This year I am President of the PSO in the elementary school again. We run on two year terms so this is my second year. I have to say it is a lot of work but very rewarding with all of the money we raise for the school and all of the great programs we organize and run. It is a group I am quite proud to be a part of.
My gal Madeline lost her first tooth!!! Big news here! I have to admit we went to the dentist for her regular cleaning and the hygienist said "looks like she is about to loose her tooth!" I think I am pretty clued in on the family front and the goings on of the kiddos - but you could have knocked me with a feather! Did not even know it was almost "fall-out loose"...the good thing - neither did she! Two days later she lost the tooth at recess so the cool factor was even higher. Losing her tooth and losing it at school - I think she was the first one in her K class to loose - but don't quote me! Not that you would anyway!
Back in the swing of school - Michael is loving 3rd grade - he has moved up in schools to the 3rd-5th grade school. So big and so independent! Madeline is raising the roof at full day kindergarten - and loving every minute of it. Happy to see them thrive.
The schedule has freed me up to work on the house - you would think - but instead I was offered a job doing Development in a school a few towns over. Typical me - I could not resist! Just 15 hours a week of "me" work time - hopefully making a difference and continuing to sharpen my communication skills that I worked hard on in college - my dear dad says he in continuing to get a return on his investment in my college! I say that is not lost on me and know my college days (though long ago now! - grad in 1992) have made a difference in my life every day from my relationships (my dear husband and close college friends) to my confidence and to my gratitude and perseverance. An investment I will pass on to my kiddos in due time - but for now I am enjoying the 3rd and K years!
