Don't know what I would do without my girls

With so much going on at home with my mom living with us now, I don't know what I would do without my middle child, Kelsey. She is 20 years old and home from college for the summer. As I have mentioned I suddenly found out that I was changing classrooms and grades. My daughter has put it upon herself to paint my new room. She is doing an amazing job. She is looking forward to decorating and organizing it as well. She helped me redo my room last summer and she did an excellent job. I can't wait to see what she does this year. Hopefully when things settle with mom a little I will be able to go help her.

My oldest daughter, Kayla ,(22) has been home with us since Wednesday and I couldn't do this without her either. Mom was discharged from the hospital Wednesday


and since then I have not been able to lift her by myself as she has completely lost all ability to move. Thankfully my daughter is able to help me. The home health care that we have is working on getting her in a rehab center. As bad as we all hate to put her in a  facility at this point I don't feel we have another choice.

My baby girl, Keeley who is 5, has been great through all of this. She has been so sweet and understanding.

Before long I really plan for this Kindergarten blog to actually talk about kindergarten. As for now, it has become my outlet.

Here they having fun with the Barbie Photo Booth that my oldest daughter made for Keeley's birthday party.

More unexpected changes

Due to sickness, my mother will now be living with us. She needs 24 hour care. Somehow we will manage but life has suddenly gone from very difficult to extremely difficult. It is almost more than I can handle.

This summer will be challenging to say the least. As mentioned in a previous post I am changing from 3rd grade to Kindergarten after 10 years of teaching 3rd grade. So on the last day of school all of my things were packed and moved to my new home away from home "Room B-12". Lots of stuff stacked up high. My middle daughter, she is 20, will start painting it tomorrow with the help of one of her friends. We will be bring my mother home from the hospital as well. My baby girl, she is 5, is on a competitive dance team and we go to Nationals July 27-29 in Destin, Florida. So will be returning from the beach 2 days before school start. Sometime during all of this my classroom will have to be set up and ready to go before we leave for the beach on July 23rd.

I am quiet overwhelmed. My mind is in a constant spin.

Wish me luck!
