Thankful Turkies

Thanksgiving is the time of year when everyone looks back and remembers what they are thankful for. Every Monday I meet with a group of girls who have all experienced the death of a parent, either by suicide or illness. Today, we focused on discussing what we are thankful for. Sometimes during the holidays when we are still mourning the loss of a loved one, we forget that we have lots of different things in our lives to be thankful for.

Back to Work...

It has been such a long time since I have written a post and a lot has changed in the past several months. First of all on August 20th we welcomed our son Maddix James Richards. Due to complications he was born six weeks early, but after 12 days in the NICU he is a perfectly healthy baby!
Our daughter Marlee started preschool this year and she is loving it.
It has been a little overwhelming coming back to school during the busiest time of the year, basketball season but I have had lots of support and help from my family, friends, and coworkers. I am trying some new groups this year at school that I am really excited about! I am going to start a Homework Group with some 4th and 5th grade students. I am also going to start the School Attendance Matters Curriculum by Savvy School Counselor that should really help some of our students. I am glad to be back to work and ready to start my school year!!
