i just wanted to share my home - or i should say my front yard with all of you. it is very peaceful here, i love it

different season

dr. visit

Hi all, i haven't been by in a while because i've been so busy at work. but things are starting to settle down. so i will be by more often.

getting in the swing of things

things are starting to return to some form of normalcy- when i'm away from work all summer long coming back is like a fog- until i get my groove back. it's starting to feel familiar again. i have always enjoyed my work but i guess that it is time for a change though i don't see that happening in the near future. First i need to make sure that the program is sound, that the staff is secure and ready to take over and that all the objectives/goals that i had planned for the program are in place. it is a great program that does so much for the community and the program has continuously exceeded the standards set by the feds. every year we have a waiting list that i work with partner agencies to make sure that we have good placements for the people on the list, if i feel that wait will be too long. so far that has worked. i work with a very dedicated group of people {you have to be to work in grassroots community projects}.

back to work

well i made it through the day.... i returned 35 phone messages.... answered 30 emails....confirmed 2 upcoming meetings... have to go to central office to pick up my new budgets....arranged for 10 students to be tested...my counselor was in but had to leave early...the rest of the staff can't start until i get word from my consultant...had a telephone conf. call and all of this while receiving inquiries from walk ins

thank god its over....I am so ready to go to sleep
i will write again

Reading Blogs- Oh my

Well the other day i said that i was going to read up on the blogs...
i'm still reading....i have found several that i really enjoy reading and that i hope to follow. there is something to learn everywhere- all people and all things have so much to offer- {personal observation} and even if it is something familiar everyone has their own spin on things. i have been making a point to visit the masters- what a great group of ladies- such dedication & REAL artistic ability. i wanna grow up just like them :)

Tomorrow is my first official day back to work - i really can't wait. {got to bring home the bacon} so much to do this year-

i know that i will miss the grandkids a ton- the best part about summer is spending lazy summer days with them-

i'm short staffed by 3- maybe 4 people- what a crazy end of year, this past june. now comes the interesting part {INTERVIEWS} not one of my favorite things. tomorrow i'll spend most of the day going through a pile of resumes. so since i spent so much time procrastinating - today at last minute i made some cards for my staff- i always like them to start the year with some little thing made by me -

my sister was over today- we had coffee and chatted for a while- she has a new grand baby in the fam so they are all besides themselves. nothing like a new baby to get everyone stirred up.

also i'm currently working on a journal that will list all things i would like my art studio {yep that's right i said art studio} to have- right now i work in a tiny nook between the living room & the dinning room- not that i'm complaining but ya know a girl can dream! i will write again
