That means we have a mixture of "fear of the future so I'm paralyzed" and "I don't need your help because I'm nearly an adult and very independent."

September and October – so it got away from me… 

So, I've been crazy busy and have been pathetic, at best, in getting some kind of blog post out.  I do have a real reason...

The March Report 

 March went very fast... and yet... very slow. Near the beginning Hannah was an Academic All Star... again.  Seemed a little ironic since mid-term report cards came and her grades didn't look so good. She was able to get some work turned in so the grades look better now.  Thank goodness!  We need her to… Continue reading The March Report
