What a year!

Boy, where to start. I celebrated working for the same company for 35 years in August. This is the only company that I have ever worked for and once again I have been told that I am not putting forth with working our new company initiatives. Never mind that my store has a positive sales trend, I have minimal employee turnover and team members from other stores want to come to work here with my staff. In July, I was finishing up a last minute project, misstepped off a 6 foot latter, and fell, broke my left foot. And I did quite a number on it. I had to have my foot immobilized and non weight bearing for 2 months. Then I continued with a walking cast for another month, while enduring physical therapy during that time. I have now been walking with a shoe for about a month, with still a limp. But it is healing with no surgery, but it can feel the weather now that it is getting colder. Very scared as to what will transpire once the snow falls and ice comes. Now also, this week I have been sick. I had a sinus infection, ear infection(which I am still having issues with) and my sinus infection caused an infection in my eyes. One thing after another. My heart is still with Joshua, I can't seem to get him off my mind. His pictures are looking so big, but he needs a family. I really want to approach Bruce again about him, now that I am actively looking for another job due not wanting to put up with the stress that this a$$ of boss that I have. I am hoping that within the next 2 weeks I can say SEE YAH! Joshua really needs the help of a family and now. He is the oldest there and been there the longest, I think. If things go as planned with a new job, I will ask Bruce once again about Joshua. But in the meantime, I might be adding a new doxie boy to the family. We have a home visit this coming Saturday. We will see Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks, that means that Tyler will be home again. Since he has a vehicle at school this year, he has only been home 1 weekend and that was early October for high school homecoming. He seems to be doing well again this year for school, said he is on track to spend a semester in Australia in 2015. Very proud of how hard he is doing in school. Kaylee and Chrislande are doing well also. Kaylee just made first semester honor roll with a 3.24 grade point average. Even though she at times she acts like a blonde. Chrislande is continuing to grow, but sometimes needs redirection. We tried a different medication for a short time, but found it wasn't right and are now trying something different. We struggle with her on the weekends and need to find the correct adjustment during that time. We met recently met with her educational team about making sure that she will continue to have additional help, especially during testing. It was agreed that she would get this help. Now that she doesn't qualify for English as a Second Language help, this is huge foe her. I constantly worry that she will get lost in the system and not continue to learn as she goes into the upper grades. 5th grade starts middle school here, and they need to transition between classes. Chrislande doesn't like to transition, she needs everything to be a schedule. Right now she has a fixation with reading over and over the Night Before Christmas. She is also very impatient for St. Nick coming shortly. It is as if the last 3 years she doesn't remember and everything is new once again for her. My hope for her is someday she will catch up with her peers.
