What's going on?

It seems it's been forever since I've updated here. Things have been very busy for me lately. Since my husband and I seperated, I have gone back to work full time. I haven't worked full time since Cameron was born almost 5 years ago. My body and mind have had a lot of adjusting to do. Unfortunately, this has made it very difficult for me to be as involved in therapies and school as I previously have been. I guess you can't have it all can you? During the Christmas break and a small break from work I did have time to visit Cameron's Christmas party at school which I must say was just adorable. Cameron, like always, has a girlfriend and a caretaker. Isabelle not only plays Cameron's girlfriend, but also makes sure he is doing what is supposed to and helps him with tasks that are a bit more difficult for him. I was very impressed at how well Cameron fit in with his peers and how well he was able to communicate with them. It appears he feels right at home when he's there. Who could ask for anything more at school?

Alek however is feeling the struggle of the seperation. My once straight A student has brought home a interim with a "d" on it. A "d" i repeat. This is not because middle school is hard for Alek, this is simply because Alek has been not doing his homework. I have to take some responsibility for this. I have never before had to check Alek's homework or make sure it was done. It's just always been a given. Apparently now, its not a given. We're having to go back in time with him a bit and really check on him. On top of that he will be 12 in a few days and the pre-teen attitude has already started. Oh boy!

Rylee is doing well. Her and Cameron spend a lot of time causing trouble......the terrible twosome. They also fight pretty well. There is never a dull moment in my house, or a quiet one for that matter.

Everyone has been healthy and well. And a New Year means it's time for our round of 6 month check ups with all of Cameron's specialists. That makes for a busy time for us, but it's always good to have everything checked  and cleared for 6 more months.

As for me, I am struggling. Not with the seperation, more like the responsibility and the feeling of guilt I get when I fail to get it all done. I have had to skimp in some areas and avoid other areas of my life all together. But all in all, I'm a much happier person. I'm doing it alone and quite honestly that feels good.

Here are some recent pictures from Christmas!
