I Am Back with a Vengeance

Hi!  I am back and will write more regularly about this and that.  The past year was very interesting and I learn a lot, probably more than what I wanted.  Last November the kids transferred to Katherine Finchy, a public school, from St. Theresa’s.  Finally the money gave out and we couldn’t do it anymore.  It was a hard pill to swallow but the kids are doing much better so we are OK.  Jenan is starting middle school at Raymond Cree and Shane returned to Finchy in the 3^rd grade – GATE program. 

Starting the first week of January I was hired to home school a child that I knew and who I liked a lot.  I was helping her last year.  I forgot how difficult it was working more than a little bit.  Looking back I can’t work that much.  I was getting migraines again which cut into my time with my family.  I don’t know if I am helping her this year but I am tutoring other kids after school at my house.  If you know of anyone needing help, but pass on my info and I would be happy to help.

Why am I writing again and vowing to keep it up?  After the strokes and brain surgeries I have aphasia – word recall is difficult.  I really hate when I can’t think of a word or how it is spelled.  Super annoying!  You would think I would have this problem since the last stroke was in April, 2004 but I do.  I liked writing before, and I don’t do it much lately.  I was determined to start and follow through with it.  I am using this blog to talk about whatever is going on in my life.    I will post my art but I don’t create much now.  Homeschooling took a lot of my time and brain work.  But once school starts again, early September, I believe I will have my day free until 2 and I start the mommy train picking the kids and tutoring at the house. I plan on blogging, creating my projects, walking Zeppelin and keeping the house together during that time.  I know high hopes, and hopefully I can do it all.  I need to remeber to be nice to me. 

Talk about creating, here is a flower cupcake I made this week.  It was a project from Consulting Club a couple of months ago but I wasn’t there that month.  I had the project in the stack to do, and I finally finished it.  I have a hugestack of this work on so I will be creating them.  Stay tuned!
