May is rushing by

It is amazing to me that the month is moving along so quickly. After friday I will be on break from work for a month.. and any day now I will be officially older. ACK!

Work is a little rough right now. That break is almost here sort of stress. Plus the one student that I worry about so often.. well , there have been more issues. For example, her mother reported her missing/kidnapped when she got home from a concert. Mom having forgotten that she was with a sitter. I wonder if other times she leaves her alone????? Mom is also too busy, she said, to make sure the child has her medical appointments. No further comment.

Another student may be undergoing serious surgery. She has lung issues. She also wears a brace over her entire upper body 23 hours a day. She is never able to cough and clear her lungs. The brace for so many hours is not typical. The doctors do not seem to look at the whole picture. one looks at lungs, another her back. Both are ignoring the whole, child it seems. mom??? No further comment.

I have to learn not to worry about what I can't fix. I don't think I can.

My own children are doing well. My Amy has been sick for a week now. Just a cold.. most likely a reaction to all the stress of everything. Wedding, planning an entire weekend of festivities... and pulling it all off without a hitch. Of course all of this has cost a lot, and that is a worry. She is looking for another, different type of work. I hope it happens for her soon.

The sons are all doing okay too. Craig and Sonia are trying to pull off a closing on their new home and the closing of their old home 4 days later . I hope it works. He is starting a new job as well. A very good one.

Adam and Cory are fine and grumpy. As always.

Duncan weathered the trip well enough. Eating was an issue, but I increased his preds and fed him just his raw diet and it was okay. It was a little hard on him, but he bounced back quickly. I know that he was glad to be home. He has been getting up on my bed at night for a while when we go to bed. Usually he just curls up on his own..

Morgan and Rosie are still at odds.. I am thinking of getting another cat. One Rosies age so she has someone to play with and she can leave Morgan alone. I know a cat that needs a home and fits the bill age wise.

Perhaps I have lost my mind. I will let you know what happens.
