The uncertainty of life

What a busy summer this has been. I wish I could say it has all been good, but well, why lie?
I found this to be a summer of introspection and self reflection. Hmmm, perhaps that was a bit redundant? Repeating myself?
For the first time in my entire life, I found myself living alone. And I just wasn't too happy with that arrangement. After a very emotional graduation day and party, I said goodbye to my daughter the very next day. She was heading to Dothan for the summer to babysit for a friend. I didn't handle the separation very well. I cried all the time. I just don't think I'm liking this stage of her development. Oh that she were still a toddler that I can hug tightly on my lap.

This summer I also had a scare with dad. He had some scary staph infection that kept him in the hospital for almost two weeks. Also, had a family member who tried to 'check out' of life early. Thankfully he was found in time. He is now doing much better. So much more went on, but why bother posting it or mully grubbing about it? It's done. It's over. And all is OK now. :)

So, moving on..................... School has started. I am still the 4th grade teacher and still loving it. I have a great group of kids. I am also now the department head over the elementary hallway. So things are pretty busy. I hope to start a blog for just my educational ramblings...we shall see if I have time!

So, what did I learn about myself through all of this? 1. I don't like living alone. 2. I miss my little girl being little. 3. The thought of losing a loved one terrifies me. 4. The thought of one day being completely alone frightens me to no end. 5. I need to stock up on wine. (hahaha)
