Better
So life has gotten a bit better.
James decided to make the effort to graduate and add of Tuesday he passed his last class and is a high school graduate!!! He really tried and I'm very proud. I wish he had put forth more of an effort sooner, he is such a bright boy but no motivation or drive.
Also, I changed my availability with JoAnn. This saddens me a little bit but I know I need to. It's not just so I can take care of Ellie 4 days a week-pray for me that I don't strangle her- it's also because I was just running myself ragged. Going in to Andy at 8 so leave here by 7:15, work until 11:30, head to JoAnn, work an 8 or 9 hour shift then drive an hour home. The best I could do was collapse into bed by 10:30-if I was lucky. I had no time to rest, recharge, recover. No time for me. No time for Tom. No time for James. No time for my house. So I changed my availability to just Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. This way I work for Ellie and Andy four days a week, an eight hour day... Plus driving and Andy and JoAnn the other days. Hopefully I can handle it. And if Kari comes back next month we can change it again.
