First day of school - 2013 Version
It's here. School is finally starting! Bittersweet this year. A lot of transitions with new schools... And we were having a lot of fun, so it is sort of a bummer to be slamming back into reality and routine.
Little one is in a new school for the 5th grade and getting back into mainstream classrooms after a long detour through some special programs. Home schooling half the day to start, also, so no huge "freedom" celebrations today...
And the big one is starting high school. Damn. Nothing more needs to be said about that, except, I suppose, that he put a lot of hard work in the last couple years and is set to do very well at this new level in his education.

I'm 13 and None of My Friends Use Facebook
I've been noticing this. Offered to discuss getting an account for my son (who isn't on any networks that I know of) and he said that he didn't want one. I was relieved.

I'm 13 and None of My Friends Use Facebook:
"Although I do have a Facebook, none of my other friends do. My friends just thought it was a waste of time. I decided to get a Facebook just to see what it was all about. I soon discovered that Facebook is useless without friends. My only friend is, like, my grandma."

Moving Day
Moving day. I've been in this place for just under nine years and I expected that today would feel a little bittersweet, but no. I am ready to move on. The shape of my life has changed so much that it just does not fit here anymore. Still, for the most part, I will think back fondly on this place where I've raised my kids, got sober, and rediscovered myself in so many ways. But it is time to move on.
This is the start of the end of a process that started last November, and in a few weeks it will be done. That will be a huge relief!
We are doing a rolling move. Mom's stuff is arriving late next week, so I want to get the apartment cleared by then, and the storage space, and have all of that stuff sorted and set up before then. Then we'll get mom's stuff set up before receiving Jenna's stuff...
So there is a lot of work ahead. I hope to have all of everyone else's stuff that is in the apartment in the house by the time I go to bed tonight. My stuff? Well, I have a lot of packing still to do, but once the rest of the apartment is clear, I can knock my room and storage closet out in a couple days. Really, even with the storage space, I was running out of room to store packed items, so I've just left it for when I can just pack and move all at once.
Some long days ahead, but it is good work and when it is done, I really feel like I can start moving ahead with some parts of life that have been neglected while this six month process has been progressing.

Where I am with what now…
From Rubble: Where I am with what now…
Overall, family needs have taken much more of my time than I'd hoped the last few weeks, so I was not able to do much with NaNoEdMo last month and Camp NaNoWriMo is looking like a pass this month, too. I'll get to my novel, but now is apparently not the time for me to be finishing the darn thing.
I've got about a week to finish my next Genero.tv video and then I may have a little video project on deck after that one. We've got to re-launch the house hunt. We've got a lot of work ahead with the boys over the next month or so as we finalize some plans for their education next year. And life, unexpected, will continue to show up in both exciting and wonderful or disappointing and ugly ways, depending on the day...
So, that's what's going on right now...
Taking this down for now. Maybe things will change later this month, but for now? Maybe one of the later sessions this year.
