Trying

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Sometimes, I feel as if I am viewing events through a glass wall, disconnected. Sometimes, I feel plugged in and connected.

I'm trying.

I'm working to get help for my homeschooler in areas of processing, reading, math. And I've applied for her to participate in some research that is theater-related. Football season for one of my kids is almost over (see first photo, below, a photo of a prayer after a game); for another, the length of the half-time show and pep band season will depend on district/state playoffs while marching band competition season has another three weeks to go (see third picture, below, of retreat at one recent competition). Special Olympics figure skating is on a break at the moment, picking up again next month.

My homeschooler had a really neat opportunity this week. She made an ornament for the National Christmas Tree. (see middle photo below)
