It’s been a little while. Lots of fun things have happened. The best being Lucy coming home for the summer! She’s staying with Grandma and Grandpa Richins. For some reason she wants her own private bedroom and not just a bed in our basement family room.Weird. It is so good to have her in the same state again. Right after she got home she counted how many days till she goes back to school. 104. Phineas and Ferb must have a school on a college type schedule. It’s fitting Lucy has that long of summer vacation. She’s fun and cool like them.
It’s been a few weeks since winter block ended. I made it through another block of school. I passed all my classes, but one just barely. The thing that held me back on that one was the writing. :/ I start taking a class first block of spring term. I went to two classes and missed the third on Monday to be with Lucy post wisdom teeth removal. I was going to go on Wednesday. It was day 3 post surgery which is always one of the worst. I gave up and dropped the math class. It was going to be one more thing. I don’t have the band with for one more thing right now.
I have a camp director for YW camp. It was questionable for a while. It has been such a huge help and load lifted off my plate. I am slowly learning that asking for help and delegating are not as scary as I thought and help me out so much.
Daryl just finished track season. He had JV regional and PRed in all his events but long jump. His events were javelin, high jump, long jump, 800m and 1600m. He started running because he didn’t like it. So he thought he should do it more so he would learn to like it better. I don’t know if it worked. He doesn’t mind it but he would rather jump and throw.
Ruth is making it through her rough classes at school. Her year of kids has some really hard ones. Several of them happen to be in a couple of her classes. Her brain has a hard time with them being talkative. rude and not liking school. She regularly questions their life choices and wishes they would just behave so class would be better. She asked all her teachers what their favorite colors are and is making them little chickens. She has also been making them for friends for part of their birthday presents.
Beth is making it to the end of 4th grade. She graduated from speech but now gets to go to resource for math help after doing some testing. She’s figuring out what sport she wants to try next. She’s thinking basketball lacrosse.
Lilly has enjoyed her gap semester and decided to continue it through the summer. She’s looking in to fire science and advanced EMT classes in the fall. It’s better to start up school in the fall anyway. She’s been weathering drama at work. Some people got fired which was hard but may have been for the better. She’s doing the young adult thing beautifully striving to balance work, friends and family.
Glen continues to guide Fort Herriman Middle. He found out his assistant principals and him will all be staying at the Fort for another year. He’s pleased with that. He thrives on his routine and strives to get stuff done with efficiency.
