School is back in session! Some cheering and some grumbling here. As a Mom I have mixed feelings when the kiddo's head out. I love the casual carefree days of summer where there is no homework, early mornings, driving a million places for lessons and what not. But on the flipside it is so nice to have a schedule back and the few quiet hours that I can almost call my own. This year Conor is king of the school, as he is now in 6th grade. Josie is no longer the littlest 1st grader, she is now in 2nd grade. The transition is a breeze and both are doing great.
Lincoln has graduated from a car-seat to a booster, lots of happiness on this day. I can now open the door, he climbs in and I close the door. No more waiting for him to take his sweet time and wait to get situated and then buckle him! This is a big deal!!!!! Josie started piano lessons this year and I even took on a few piano students, who would of guessed? Another exciting event worth noting is that Conor finally got a CGM, or a DEX, or a continuous glucose monitor. We call it a Dex at our house. After a lot of battling with the insurance company and then some indecision on our part we are golden. He started dexting October 2. No more uninterrupted sleep for me. I am constantly being awakened with alarms to inform me of blood sugar swings. It is like having a new baby but maybe worse, constant alarms. This is all good for Conor, but maybe not for the sanity of Mom. It will be worth it though.
Another first is that the van hit the 100,000 mile mark. Is that something to cheer about? I guess it depends how you look at it. We are lucky and happy to have a reliable car that is a work horse for us. This particular mile was marked on one of the many, many, many, trips to our new rental house on the South Hill. Blood, sweat, tears and money have been poured into this investment. We are praying this will be a good thing for our family in the future
