Conferencing!

Parent teacher conferences might be one my favorite parts of my job.....I really like to meet the families of the kids I serve every day.....it gives me more insight into all of it, and I enjoy connecting and meeting new people....yesterday we had conferences from 12 to 8 and it was a great day! I got to connect with, and meet a bunch of families and have great conversations about their kids....Today I am going in early and have conferences till 3......and then Thanksgiving break! It is so hard to believe......September felt like a decade....lol:) And then October blinked on by, and November is following suit.......so I am doing my best to stay present in it all.....not get too far ahead of myself as Christmas quickly approaches....just breathing through all my stuff, and taking it as it comes....I am grateful to be spending time with my kids over break, spending Thanksgiving with them, and then meeting up with my guy for a couple of days.....trying to balance them equally.....and my kids have a bunch of fun stuff planned in my absence so that makes me happy too:) Then on Monday I have some important telephone visits for Gabe that have to be done.....for Social Security and with his geneticist....this will pave the way for the guardianship stuff I am seeking as his 18th birthday quickly approaches......So it is all falling together and I am just allowing it to, and trusting with each step I take I get closer to my short term and my long term goals.....and ones that have yet to be borne in me......that has been the coolest thing in this chapter of my life.....the feeling and element of mystery some, and the surprise....in my old life I felt I knew with a lot of certainty what life would look like.....I guess until I didn't;-) but it was pretty routine.....in a lot of ways....and now my life is not like that at all.....it has opened up, and expanded in so many ways and I love that:) So this next week ahead holds a lot of promise and a variety of really cool things to be a part of......as for today I look forward to meeting more of the parents of my kiddos, and connecting with them about their child....seeking to help their child be the best they can be:) Always the goal! Happy Tuesday! Enjoy the day:)
