Misha and the boys have returned home. The beach was lovely. Beautiful. Perfect. But, as they say, all good things must end.
The night before I left, my grandfather fell and broke his hip. He's had surgery, and now has pnemonia. He is mostly non-responsive. He can't swallow, and he's refusing a feeding tube. We'll know more tomorrow after a doctor evaluates him, but...it's looking like I'm going to be heading to Ohio very soon. He may surprise us, but it's really not looking good.
Meanwhile, I talked to my new principal on Thursday. I'm starting the new job tomorrow morning. Good news is it's the school right around the corner from me. Literally couldn't have asked for a batter placement. I don't drive, see, and it's technically within walking distance, so if there was an emergency or whatever, I *could* walk. I'm moving out of Autism to Mild ID (intellectual disorders) and leaving the K-2 grade level for 3rd - 5th grade. It's going to be quite a change, but I am embracing it.
It's also an early hours school. I'll be working 7:15 to 3:15 now. So, there will be an adjustment there as well. Bear with me. I'm not sure how active I'll be this week, all things considered.
I've decided for my sanity, it's time to drop most of my boys. Greg, obviously, isn't going anywhere. I'm going to keep my new guy, Decker. And Greg's mama is hanging around too. But she's request only, really. And I think I've got to dump everyone else. Or put them on request only too. I've got to cut back somewhere.
