Doing pretty well! DS is in grad school and has a research assistant position and is moving into his own apartment. DD is starting a new job, in her field this time, and is very excited. She will be making a living wage and hopes to move out in the next 6 months. DS1 is hoping to get a new job he applied for. My kids are doing well.
My Mom has decided to move again. Her husband died last October, I moved her in NOvember. Now she's moving again. She thinks my brother is going to help her. Thank goodness. I don't have the time to spend a month moving her again.
DH is TOO busy. Should be a good thing, right? It is financially but it is messing him up mentally and emotionally. Ugh.
All in all, life is good!

I am back to school and dealing with the usual beginning of the school year craziness. Lots and lots of paperwork, paired with an early cold season, and compounded by some really serious incidents in school, it's been a really busy start. My daughter is working about 40 minutes away in an elementary school as a special ed teacher. She's been working the last 2 years after graduation long-term subbing as well as working as a special ed Para. She's also doing an online Masters program for her Master's in Special Ed. The online program is definitely the way to go. This particular University is about $60,000 a year. I cannot even imagine how anyone affords that. My older son is in his second year of college, doing community college to save money, but we'll go to the State University next semester as there are no more courses he could take there for his degree. But that's fine, 3 semesters there saved us so much money. Youngest son graduated in June, decided he wanted to pursue electrical as a trade. He started working for an electrician. It is his girlfriend's uncle's company, and 2 of his sons are apprenticing for him. He likes it. Right now it's manual labor, digging, wiring, drilling through rocks,etc. My husband broke his ankle back in Feb. He went back to work in August. It was a workers comp issue that did not allow him to go back if he could not do full duty. His State agency wouldn't allow him to do light duty . And the doctor would not release him to do full duty. Such ridiculousness. And we are going to my best friends daughters wedding this weekend. Driving up to Maine!!! It'll be a whirlwind weekend but so Special!!!! And that's my update
