Checkin' In Part 2.....

Good Morning Friends & Happy Monday!!!!
I'm posting from my local library again this morning but I'm happy to report that I'm not so stressed out anymore!  I realized that my expectations were just really too high & there were going to be some bumps along the road whether I liked it or not soooooo now I'm much more at ease & taking one day at a time to get my things all unpacked and in their proper places!!!

We had to disassemble so many pieces of furniture to get everything moved here & needless to say that with my DH being gone....I'm not having much luck finding the screws to put my furniture back together!  I'm not upset though---much to my surprise---I'm just moving on with what I can & will get back to those things later.  One of my bookcases was pretty damaged during the move so that's severely hindering me from having all my stamp stuff out where I can find everything.....this did make me pretty angry & I'm still not happy about that!!!

Deep breath.....I'm very elated to report that Brandon & Bianca had an awesome first week of school!  They both love their new schools & how friendly everyone is here!  Bianca was tested before she even started & was immediately bumped up to the advanced/gifted classes & I cannot begin to tell you all how much of a difference that has made!!!!  She's happy, excited about going to school & actually looking forward to whatever challenges the teachers put before her!  Brandon's counselor wanted to bump him up in classes also but I want to watch him for a while before we decide to really challenge him.  He does excellent in all his schoolwork, quizzes & chapter reviews but if you put a test in front of him....he fails big time.  With that being said; the teachers are going to monitor him, give him extra reviews & whatever other help he may need to get those test scores up.  Their ultimate goal is to have him in advanced classes his 8th grade year & I have no doubt that will happen!  I can honestly say that this was the best move we could've made for their education & well being and I only hope that they continue to excel in their classes!!!!

My hour is almost up so I'm going to sign off for now.  I will try to be back later this week with another update or better yet from my own computer....we'll see!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,
Jackie

  12. Hi Jackie. Glad to hear that you got moved and that the kids are settling in well at their new school. Hope you can get your house in order soon and come play with us again. Happy thoughts sent your way so you can find those loose screws to your furniture!

  14. So pleased to hear that the move has gone reasonably well and your kids are liking their new school. It always take a little time to settle and make a new place your own. We moved six months ago and still have a number of boxes to unpack......most likely however if we haven't needed them up to now they will find their way to a better home.
