2020 has been interesting so far.

2020 has been interesting so far.

Not much has really changed in our day to day in terms of what my Snider boys and I do. But in terms of what this year has thrown our way.

K is busier than ever at work and he is enjoying most every moment of it. He is trying hard to get things fixed information wise to submit for a promotion. And he as an instructor deals with many unexpected things daily. Many of the things he deals with are things that often have me shaking my head and wondering why or did their mothers really allow them to live like this?
Recently with all the COVID stuff he is still doing what his "mission" states he should daily which is teach the next class MLRS crew members and what ever else was place on his docket for the day by leadership.

B is no longer in OT he was discharged 2 weeks ago because he has met all his goals!!!! I am so proud of how hard my littlemr. has worked in less than a year. He also reads more and I can honestly say I think that is due to his amazing teacher. With out her this school year we would have been sunk. She has encouraged him in was no teacher ever had before. He still goes to ABA 3 times a week and we as a family are still struggling with his frustration and anger outbursts when his feelings become bigger than he can express or he gets overwhelmed. But things are slowly improving there also. Over the last year he has had 5 of his neighborhood friends move away and 1 that is moving this summer leaving him a lone ranger for bit since he is the only boy left in his 6 house perimeter. He has taken all the changes due to the moves and COVID in stride. Even though he is struggling he still has the courage and faith that has made me so proud of him everyday.

As for me, I am currently taking each goal for 2020 and trying to mark them off one at a time. I am 1/3 of the way to accomplishing 1/3 of my goals. Which is better than I was at this point in 2019.  I am working to get B back on a routine that will work for him so that he can/will accomplish his academic goals. And helping K when possible to accomplish his professional goals. On on personal side I have found a group of ladies that I enjoy spending time with here. Thanks to Fellowship groups through Church and PWOC. I am also currently the SFRG leader for K's btry. I am dealing with my on going mental and physical health issues as they come day to day. And rejoice in the days like today where I am able to do things like clean my home, write this post and play tag with B.

We  have gained a new furry member  to our family. Her name is Tippy  (I call her TT because she like to climb to the tippy top of things when ever possible). She is a lab mix and fit into our little family right from the start.
