The Good, The Bad and the.....UGH

Note: Start reading at "The Why" So since I blogged last (which I apologize for the distance between blogs) I have started working summer school job at my job (PT), had an amazing visit with my besties, lost the friendship of someone I once considered to be a close friend, had an amazing women's weekend at my church and celebrated father's day with my amazing dad! Those are the major personal life events that happened. The Good: The weekend with my besties was the best relaxing moments I have had in a while. They came down for the Women's Weekend at my church. They came to the tea with me, along with my mother and another really good friend!! My heart was so full being surrounded by so many people who love me. Father's Day was amazing!!! I went to church with my dad. We went out to eat to his favorite restaurant and he enjoyed his food (this hardly ever happens) and I had bread! BREAD!!!! and yalllll it was soooo good!

Update

Hello All, I feel like I haven't written you guys in weeks...wait! I haven't. So I wanted to update you all on whats been going on in this roller coaster life of mine. This post may be a little lengthy but I will do my best to only hit highlights!!! Work: Graduation happened for my little fellows and it was amazing!!!!! I watched a few of my kids graduate and get ready for the next chapter in their life. These are kids I have been in the trenches with and for and I have seen them learn to communicate, play with peers, learn to share, learn to "school" and most importantly change their behavior. I am so crazy proud and terrified for them in their next chapter. I know they are capable of learning and succeeding in any task they face. My fear is that they wont have the assistance needed to do so. I worry that their next teacher wont catch the clues they give off, that the kids will be mean, that they will get lost, that they will feel alone or misunderstood, that no
