Busy summer

 This is a beautiful puzzle that I am not buying because I don't like 1000 piece puzzles.  If it were 500 I would definitely want to get it, even better if it was 300.

My clinic placement is going well.  I only get 6-8 hours a week which is pretty terrible since I drive 6 hours a week and spend over 20 between driving and canceled appointments etc...  But I'm learning a lot and I'm glad I got to work with my supervisor.

Recent events remind me that I don't win by complaining.  While in graduate school I am visiting someone else's house and they make the rules.  If they want me to succeed, they might make things easier for me.  If they don't want me to succeed, they will make things harder for me.  Focusing on the hard isn't going to change anything.  Looking for the good will help me be happier.

P is doing several AP trainings then we'll go pick up M and visit my dad.  The next week I take M to Auburn then continue on to pick up G.  I've got to finish up a few projects and take 2 more tests.  My semester is mostly over.  Phew!  Then I'll have a few weeks off as the kids get settled in school.

This summer has been busy but also really good.  The boys have a piano teacher again.  Hurray!  LP and L are doing a swallowing therapy to help with their teeth.  lP goes to cross country for fun a few mornings a week.  I've been able to do a few walking dates.  lP and B went to orchestra camp.  I'm really proud of P and me for making sure the kids still got to do nice things even though I've been doing a placement and P has had several weeks of AP things.
