Month in review



It feels like ages since I last logged on and blogged but really its just been a little while. In that time frame I have accomplished so much that is important to me. DH and I took the kids to my moms and we had a few days alone in the Mountains of North Carolina. We had all intentions is being so romantic and just sleeping if we wish. Naaaa, we hit the floor in the morning looking for new trails and waterfalls to hike. We enjoyed it so much. I hate that there is a serious drought in that area but it made way for us to creep into parts unknown and right in the mist of the waterfalls. Was beautiful.


But once back home we got back to reality. I went back on my crusade to get the school to follow through with broken promises and medical requests as well. All my calls have finally paid off. But it took going all the way to the top above the school board to accomplish it. We had a meeting yesterday and we were expecting another fight. No teachers, no nothing. Was the principal of the school and someone from the board of Special Education. We got everything we have asked for to date and what was still lacking will be put in place this week. We go back on the 8th to follow up and trust me I will be lurking.


I am looking more and more forward to moving back to the south. I dont know when it will be but were getting ready to begin our hot and heavy job search after Christmas. When it is meant to be we will move with the right job. Were drawing house plans and making dreams on paper. We already built one house we never had a chance to enjoy once 100% complete. Were done with that. I will post a photo of our picks soon.
Another reason, besides family and my life in the south is so much more meaningful is friendships are so wierd here. I have encountered so many adults here who act like the females I went to school with and honestly, I am done with that. I disliked the cliques and the 'pick me over her' crap in highschool that I dislike it even more now. Sad thing is this is the first time I have encountered it to this level since I graduated. I would not redo highschool for nothing and really I am wondering if the highschool mentality follows some of the troops here. Geeze... I just dont have time.
So yeah, I accomplished what was important, found out who my friends are and learned I have no home in Canada as my heart is not in it. But tomorrow is HALLOWEEN!
Cheers! Another night is done :) Not proof reading so read between the typos :)

Your vacation sounds wonderful!

I recommend you move here. Where I live. I'd make an excellent, non-cliquey friend!
