More patience??? Really???

Thanks, Bug. Good stuff is happening. I see the temptation to notice bad things that still exist but I'm getting better at setting that down and watching the "trend" as you reminded me not too long ago.

Last night was open house for my D10's school. W and I walked around and talked to the teachers together and it was almost normal. D10 is starting her 3rd year in this school since the move and it looks like she's finding her place again. Her teachers from the past 2 years praise her and give her hugs and her new teachers this year talk about enjoying her in class. It took a while but its fun to see my D10 enjoy the social relationships in her school again.

W appeared to have fun as well. She was working the book fair and talking with the teachers. One of D10s teachers was talking to W about subbing for her class. My W taught kindergarten when we were first married. She's great at it but has enjoyed being home with the kids even more. She likes being up at the school and involved in that aspect of their life as well. It was good to see the teachers show an interest in my W and recognize what she can offer. Its a boost my W has needed as well.

Second MC session is a week from today. I had to turn down a business trip so I could attend and was glad to do so. Painting for the weekend got nixed due to finances but the town we live in is hosting a family bike ride tomorrow morning so we are all getting up to take a 5 mile ride together. My son is less than thrilled about getting up early on a Saturday, but he'll live!
