Good Bye Summer

Tomorrow is the first day of...

FALL 🍁!

Another summer has come and gone, leaving behind it's sweet memories.

Like my new blogger shares-  this Unbalanced Chronicles is changing but we still have summer. 

What is summer without sweet friends?

Move to Montreat

  It  was moving day today and I did good. I only cried once when I said a prayer with my family and I dried it up quick. Of course, now that I'm sitting here with nothing but my thoughts,  I'm feeling a little melancholy.   T here have been so many, many years that I hurt as I watched Connor stand back while others got to play, got the awards, got the compliments, got the recognition.  Today it was Connor who stepped forward.  God has given us everything we have ever prayed  and that is a very happy thing to praise!!! Still, isn't it a little sad to know this boy is not going to come bounding down the steps to perform a "match" for me when he is supposed to be doing his homework?? I mean he will probably hold a match now in this 'get up' but he is MUCH too tall for it not to be weird (or more weird). Today was a good day because my family was together and we made each other laugh. We laughed at Carlee who takes forever to do anything, and goes at her very

Classroom Place to Office Space

Image
As I walk into my 23rd year of teaching I face a new transition. I am leaving the classroom and moving into a leadership position. My new job is - (drum roll) Exceptional Needs Program Specialist I know the "specialist" part is a reach but hey I'm not one to argue with any title.  T he reality is being old sometimes makes you qualified for things.  I've been doing this a long time, not to mention I've pulled my own kids (that require their own support) through the public school maze.   I really had to pray, pray, pray over the decision to leave my post in 7th grade.  We had a very good working team and I was pretty excited that Carlee would be moving up on my hall.  Yet this specific position was a need and completely new. I made my decision prior to Christmas, but I never felt at ease with it until the final three months of last year.  There was a series of circumstances that just let me know that it was time for a change and things would be ok. So what will I be

Breaking Grad

  Breaking Grad As I sit and reflect on the last six months, I find it hard to describe.   Simply put I’ve been in the middle of a tornado.  I guess it’s been a good thing because I keep forgetting to have a meltdown. Where should I start? Perhaps a few weeks before Christmas break when my son decided not only did he want to go to college but also looked into the prospect of playing tennis at college level.  These are typically goals reserved for kids starting high school but really last minute is our jam so I went with what we could do.    Immediately we began work on 1. Athletic profile 2. Scholarships 3. Visits to School(s)  4. Finishing academics on a high note 5. etc. etc. Did I mention right around this time my job shifted adding more responsibility, Carlee was finishing cheerleading and dance, AND every spare minute was taken up as we all survived on a diet of Chick-Fil A tenders and fountain cola!?!  If not, let me just add that part real quick. (If you notice how puffy I look
