Time to Fly


Text strand between me and his tutor...


Hi Barbara, I just got off the phone with Mrs. Palmer. After a long talk with Tristan last night, he is begging me to give him a chance and not pull him from class. Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Juhl spoke to Mrs. Patterson and they have all agreed that they are comfortable with giving him the chance to succeed. Due to our class being so small, Shanna can also spend extra time with him. They said we will watch him like a hawk and catch it early if we need to. 

I know this means I may lose you as a teacher because you have to fill your slots and you have many students looking for your services. I just really feel like I need to give him a chance. If it goes downhill fast, I’ll reach out to you... and if you aren’t available, I’ll pray for another option. You can call me tonight if you want to discuss. I’ll be home after 7.

Actually I have thought about suggesting letting him try it without help. He has had all the graphemes (letters and letter groups). There are some roots we haven’t attacked but that part is more for vocabulary than reading. He hasn’t passed all the bench marks but that comes with time. Rest assured that I am not looking for more students so don’t give it another thought. I have been concerned about Tristan and his ability to maintain a good attitude. He was always respectful but not always happy. So wish him good luck and tell him that I am thrilled that he feels ready to be on his own. Keep me posted on how he is doing. I have loved working with him. He is very special. Part of the deal is to prepare students to fly so hopefully this is the right time. Do not hesitate to call me if it appears we need to jump back in. Let’s stay in touch. He gets his “specialness” from you. ❤️blessings. Barbara

Mom/Son trip for 2020 and 2021 combined... look out Fredericksburg, here we come!

Image
Well, I booked this trip for Spring Break of 2020 and Covid had other plans. I moved THREE time and prayed this weekend would stick - AND IT DID!!  We drove a long 5 hours to Fredericksburg, TX.  It's wine country but that's the last thing we had on our minds! I swear - I found this out AFTER I booked the house! look closer... and I was only looking for this! We only got in once for about 10 minutes... it was hot AND there were SO many bugs! We headed to dinner. It was HOT and we both had on bad shoes... the mile walk to and from Tubby's (gross food BTW) was not worth it.  LOL But then we say that we lived a few doors down from a jail. Very cool all the history in this German town!! I told Tristan it was a "YES WEEKEND" and I would say yes to anything he asked (within reason) and he made the most of it! I said "no" to something he asked for and he didn't miss a beat... he stopped and said "What mom?  I couldn't hear you?" That face... u...

Day 7 and 8

Image
Well, the first two pics are from a very hard Day 7 I sat here... and bawled.  Tristan and I had choice words about his eating. Well, not eating.  His snacking.  It didn't go well.  I'll leave it at that.  I sat here.  Bawling.  Crying out to God to save us. To heal our land.  I told Him all of the things I CANNOT do.  Well not in my own strength.  I told Him all of the places I NEED to move out of.  All of the insecurities I have. All the things I have fought SO hard for that I'm fearful He is asking me to just forget about. I'm scared of His "NO". I'm scared that I'm being corrected or chastised for all of the decisions I've made until now. That I've just messed it all up.  But then, I remember that I'm just not that powerful. God has shown up for me in so many ways, so many times, and I can't forget that. I can't be like all of God's people who wandered in the desert 40 years... and then in their freedom, they w...
