Spring Break for Elko Charter School

We are on our spring break this week. It is nice to be able to sleep in and relax with my family.

My sister came up from Wyoming at the beginning of the week. She and her husband have been having some marital and family issues. She has been getting her cup refilled so that she can take care of the things that she needs to address.

It has been difficult talking to her. It seems like she was me 10 years ago in my first marriage. All of my bells and whistles are ringing and it brings me back to my days with my x. I feel like I can say, "Well, this is what I did and how I felt". But, on the other hand she has different circumstances like children that are involved and luckily that wasn't my situation with my x-husband. She has her plate full.

Charlie has gone up to get more of the items from the move that was being stored in Lewiston. He is excited about finishing his 1957 GMC Truck. He is restoring the truck for me and I will be selling my car. I figured that if we are going to be moving out to Elburz that does not have road maintenance I will need a 4x4 truck.

So, as my husband was traveling up he dropped me off at my sister Gena's house in Boise. All three sisters are here relaxing and enjoying the break. Gena's spring break was last week but, she has a job that is flexible and she mostly works on weekends for on call with her social work job. So we have been playing games and enjoying the company.

The cousins have really enjoyed being together. I just got my son Caden (3 years) and my sisters daughter Alyssa (3 years) to take a nap by reading them some stories. The stories that I am reading them are the ones that I have brought up for my Mexican unit that I am putting together for my Kindergarten class. I have so many ideas it is hard to put them all together and streamline them. But, implementing the ideas and seeing the students light up and learn is the best part of the job...
