T-16 weeks and counting

So, once the Thanksgiving break week is figured in, I have 16 1/2 weeks until I head home to NY. I'm still holding out the wish that when I go, I could be taking my bean with me and not just for the Christmas holiday, but we have made the promise to her that she will remain in one school for the year and join my lady and I in June. Meanwhile, 3 weeks from today I get to take a quick trip east. It promises to be a wonderful weekend! Saturday night my lady and I will see Idina Menzel in concert with the Buffalo Philharmonic. But that is still 21 days away. So until then, I get up in the morning, have school all day, and then study and go to sleep. I felt so good after this morning's workout, I know I should include more of them in my schedule. I also probably need to sign up for some class or other one evening a week. It would be too easy for me to become a hermit. We'll see what I come up with. I cherish my weekends with my bean. We both start Sunday school this weekend. I have to say, I'm probably more nervous than she is. After the wonderful Vacation Bible School experience she had this summer she's very excited. I just hope that her dad will continue to take her to Church and Sunday School after the Christmas break. She's found a place there.


One more thought for the day. With the challenges presented to me over the past two weeks, I find myself drawing on a faith that I didn't realize I had. Maybe it has been there all along, or maybe I lost it and have found it again. Wherever it was, I'm glad it's here now. And, as my lady has eloquently provided me with a reference name, I know that "The Being which shall not be named" will take care of me and my family. And I struggle, because we aren't given a script, even though somewhere one exists. I don't know what the outcome will be, but I have to trust that the outcome will be that which is best for my child and family.
