pretty, wheelchair and oreos

So, I'm feeling much better, almost back to old myself. We tried school this week, only made 3 1/2 days because of wheelchair repairs and a funeral. But after 3 weeks away that's a start. Surprisingly Grace isn't too far behind. Has some tests to make up, some reading to finish and that's about it. She didn't miss any huge projects.
Not sure if you remember, but she works in a kindergarten class, and those little ones probably gave up on her ever returning. On the day she went back we had the appointment for the wheelchair repair, so instead of driving in the opposite direction to attend 1/2 a class at the high school, she just spent the extra time in the k class. As we got to the school the kindergartners were lining up to return to their class after recess. They were sssssooooooo excited to see Grace !! They call her Miss Gracie, and I think they were all yelling "Miss Gracie's back!!!"  She worked with them in their writing journals and several wrote about her. I think her favorite was written by a little guy who wrote. " I love Miss Gracie, because she's pretty, rides a wheelchair and loves oreos."  Nothing like a little kindergarten love to make you glad you're back at it again !!

When Moms Sick

Home Again!!!

Poor Grace, She finally seemed to be caught up and getting back to attending school on a better basis when Mom got sick. I have been out of commission for a few weeks, still on the mend, but feeling a bit better.

When your mom goes to school with you, takes your notes,  and is your scribe, you're kind of up a creek without a paddle!

My husband has been home the past week, but not much schoolwork got done. I think one study guide for history might be finished. There isn't much aside from reading that Grace can manage on her own. She can still write for herself, if she can get up to the table just right and get the paper positioned perfectly. If she needs to look at a book or notes while she writes everything has to be repositioned.

I think the worse part of this is probably social. The main reason that we attend school instead of homeschooling is because Grace is a social butterfly. She gets along well with most everyone, likes to give a few teachers a rough time and in return they give it right back to her. She mostly has missed her best friend, Kayla. There are some weeks they're inseparable. When school is out for a long weekend or break they're usually together. Kayla was here when I first got sick, but not since. Thankfully my husband has taken Grace a couple of times to visit with Kayla, but it's just not the same. Praying for a speedier recovery for me, plenty of energy for all that schoolwork, and best friend time for Grace.
