A gift from the PTO

I really do love my PTO ladies! I mean look at the going away gift they gave me! A charm bracelet from James Avery with two perfect charms! A roadrunner so I will never forget them and the school and a camera (they know me so well)!

So close

We are so close to being done with this PCS (move), but it feels so far away. I'm not remotely ready to leave. We have a great church here, a great Sunday school class with fantastic teachers, and I was just plain happy here. This was the first move where I made friends right away (good, everlasting friendships), where God gave us all the silly little things we asked for in a house (tree in the front yard, walking distance to the school, and a big back yard), and a good school for the girls. I have loved being so involved with the PTO. Sure, it was hard work at times, but the ladies I worked with were some of the best!

Yes, I know I'm whining and that I should be used to moving after being an Army wife for almost 13yrs, but it never gets any easier to leave friends...

I'm so worried about the First Duckling. Will the kids at the new school accept her or will they be stand-off'ish like the kids were to me when I first went to a civilian school? How is this going to affect her Anxiety? She's already regressed. She's started picking the skin around her finger nails and biting them again. Will her new teacher be as understanding as her current teacher? Will they honor her 504 plan? Will we find a psychologist as good as the one we have now and will the First Duckling connect with this new one?

Then there is the Littlest Duckling. She's been so emotional! How is she going to handle actually being around her grandma and seeing first-hand the wear and tear of the cancer and chemo? Will she fit in well at the new school?

So many worries... I'm not ready to be a parent. Can I send them back? LOL! I'm just kidding... (kinda')
