i really do dread opening my e-mail lately.
Today, as has been the daily pattern, it was an update of #2's work in school... well, lack of work in school. It seems that the adjustment to the social structure has gone so well, that it has completely forced out any academic adjustment that might have happened. They tell me this like it's something new... AND something for which i am supposed to posess the magic bullet to fix, too! HA! i wish.
Every day i climb up hill, pushing the boulders all the way. If i give up... they will flatten me and roll at an alarming speed back down the hill. If i keep pushing... what will come of it? Will they ever reach the top?
Some days i wonder if there's a choice to be made here. Is letting go and knowing that i will watch at least one of them fall, the right choice? What then? i love them. i adore them. i worry for their futures. It's my job.
About Me
- me
- I'm an ornery wench. Just trust me on this one. :) my loves: coffee, road trips, learning, teaching, music of all sorts, firelight, intentional family, being at water's edge, intense conversations, boundless laughter, clearance sales. I'm a peacemaker, facilitator and problem solver. A fiend for conscious choice and personal responsibility. Nothing is sexier to me than brains and talent. I strive for nothing less than radical honesty. I expect nothing less than that endeavour in return.
