Oops I...did it again!

At this point it is well established that I am terrible at the upkeep of this blog. The only reason I am here today is because I was assigned to develop a professional blog in my Business Writing course and I thought I may as well use the one I have rather than make a brand new one. Maybe I'll actually stick with it this time? I doubt it, because school keeps me very busy and the kids fill in any and every possible gap. Sleep? That's a luxury I seldom have time to enjoy these days...
Just to get up to speed, here's what's up since my last post:
I graduated from LSC with my AA degree in December (though commencement is not until this May and you better believe this gal is walking and wearing her honors cords proudly!) I decided in early spring 2015 that I wanted to continue beyond my AA and seek a Bachelors of Science in Social Work so I transferred to UW-Superior. This week is midterms and next week is spring break. Oh how I'm looking forward to JUST being a wife/mom/auntie/friend for a week! I interview on March 30 for the official acceptance into the Social Work cohorts to begin in Fall 2016. If all goes as planned (ha!) I will graduate in December of 2017 with my BSW as a LSW!  I am currently looking into masters programs with advance standing. The plant Buddy has worked at for almost 5 years now is scheduled to idle indefinitely this fall. The company tells him that they will find a position but that has not panned out just yet, so things could get rocky for a bit and that would certainly derail my plans to continue into a masters program. We shall see. Kids are great. Deja finally got an IEP and Gus is in the process of getting one as well for his ADHD and the learning disorder in written expression that was detected during his formal ADHD evaluations. Audrey is in Kindergarten and suffers from youngest child syndrome like no bodies business. That girl can wrap you around her finger so fast you won't know what hit you. All with a smile. Unless she doesn't get her way, then watch out! Delilah...oh Delilah. She is 11 now. And much of the time I wonder if I'm the worst parent in the world to have raised such a disrespectful, bullheaded, mean, and downright nasty child. The rest of the time I am amazed at the beautiful, kind, courteous, mature, and pleasant young woman I raised. Really though, she is a great kid. When she's not awful. Yay for preteens and their raging hormones! She has about 3 more inches to grow before she will pass up little ol' me. She is thrilled by this.

I will be posting a few postings in the next few days to satisfy the assignment requirements. My intention is that I will be able to bring this blog with me as I transition into a career as a social worker. I will continue to share bits and pieces of my life and family, but social work will likely become my main focus as I will be parting ways with my beloved SAHM title in exchange for some acronyms following my name.

See you on the other side!
