I did not make my high school reunion and am completely bummed. For weeks leading up to my trip I had been having a weird feeling and sure enough tragedy struck. Also, I found out who my true friends really are. At my age this is an especially hard lesson after years have been invested and then to find out who the person really is. Who knows, maybe my eyes were closed the entire 24 years. Well at least now I know and can move on without drama.

Now here I sit, typing on my blog wondering how everyone is doing there at the reunion, if they are having a great time, who showed up etc. It is my hope that the next reunion is in 5 years instead of 10. Wishful thinking I guess. I even found a great dress on clearance for $8.49. It is so cute. I need to wear it somewhere.

Josh is doing VERY well in school. His teacher is pleased with his progress although she signed him up for reading without letting us know. He does not extra help in reading but she feels reading in front of others besides his classmates will help him become more social. While I have no problem with her attempts at helping him to become more social, she definitely should have told us ahead of time of her idea instead of taking it upon herself to make that decision without discussing it with us. We are his parents afterall. Also, I need to make sure it is clearly noted in his records that he does not in fact NEED extra help in this department.

Thanksgiving was nice. We celebrated early, on Wednesday, because I was supposed to be gone on Thursday. Greg had plans to go to his sister's for dinner with Josh. I told him I was not in the mood to go and instead I stayed home and caught up on the shows on the DVR. It was nice to have some quiet time to myself. Greg said he felt bad about leaving me home. I told him not to feel bad since some alone time is what I wanted. Six whole hours to myself with no work to do, no cleaning to be done and no one asking me for anything. Pure bliss!

I'm sorry your reunion didn't work out, Jo. ((hugs)) Good for you for getting some alone time! It's good for the soul to have an "off" day now and then!!
