This week is teacher appreciation week and today I got not one but two Nothing Bundt Cakes. The family and I enjoyed them tonight after dinner! Love all the notes and little things the kids have given me.

My mom came for a visit from Florida today in order to spend my birthday (Friday), my dh's birthday (Saturday) and Mother's Day (Sunday) with us. I feel so blessed to have her still able to move around well enough to come up to NY several times a year. She'll be 80 in September.

After a lot of delays I had no control over, my house is finally on the market. We've had 5 showings since Sunday. Now I just need an offer.
Friday was my last day at work so I can prepare for the move.
In one month our year long separation will be over and the kids and I get to live with DH again.
My oldest is graduating high school Summa Cum Laude.

I'm not sure if I I shared but I ended up selling my old car to a friend who purchased it on behalf of somebody who was down on his luck. The guy was very excited about it. Today my friend told me that the guy has since paid him for the car and the very next day got a delivery job. He said "he is doing much better now. And you are a big part of it."

My oldest dd is going into high school. She's a cheerleader and tried out. She didn't get picked for freshman...she made varsity/competition. I'm so proud, she worked so hard the last few months and did it.

My middle child, who is in his first semester of college, found out today that he will be recognized for having the highest grade in his math course. This child made D's and low C's his first two years of high school, then made a turn-around the last two years. For him to make all A's in college is HUGE!
I'm changing jobs from teaching at a private school to a public one in the fall and getting a $20,000 raise.

So, this was a couple of weeks ago. I've tried dumping friends but they won't leave me alone. It's been a tough year with my teen boy and I have avoided people. I hide and stay home. I've turned down things they've asked me to do. Well, they showed up at my house and brought me presents on my birthday and were very nice about the whole thing. So, I'm going to try.

My rheumatoid arthritis clinical trial ended last week. I've been on this clinical trial for 5years and, according to my MD, if I walked into his office today, he would never know that I had rheumatoid arthritis based on my labs and x-Ray tests. There are no signs of my disease and my x-rays from 3years ago are the same as the ones I did this past week. He had told me I was in remission 2years ago and again repeated that last week. The only thing that's got me a bit zzz is that I have to wait for my Rx to be authorized. I have great insurance and it's covered- I just have to wait for the preauthorization. That's amazing! Can I ask which drug? I just started xeljanz after having to stop Enbrel.

my son had a rough year in grade 4, just terrible. after much agonizing i switched his school for grade 5. he didn't want to change but i tried to reassure him he would make friends, maybe be invited to birthday parties and probably make the soccer team (none of that was happening at his old school).
he has had a GREAT year, made lots of friends, amazing supportive teachers, been to lots of parties and made several school teams but soccer is *his* sport. this school is much smaller but i didn't realize how many *really* good soccer players there are!!
he found out monday... HE MADE THE TEAM.
it is ridiculous how relieved i was....
