A heck of a day

Today has been a heck of a day, but for the most part, it's all good.  We were greeted by news this morning that the superintendent of our schools had resigned or been fired.  By this afternoon it SEEMED to have been confirmed by a school board member that she had indeed resigned, but after this evening's community meeting that doesn't exactly seem to be the case.  As I've mentioned before, there has been so much ugliness in our schools this year, and no longer having this superintendent is a HUGE step forward in moving in a positive direction.  Of course, everything has become ugly again and it's so upsetting.  We still have three weeks until school starts, and it just seems as though we will be starting with so much unpleasantness.  Ultimately though, as long as it does work out that she is gone, I think it's a good thing.

This evening, we also learned very good news.  I'd written before about one of JR's former soccer coaches who had been diagnosed with cancer.  He was diagnosed last winter, and was told he had until June.  If he decided to try treatments, he might be able to see August.  However, we've just learned today that the current scans show no cancer.  Our prayers have been answered...I can think of no other word that describes this other than "miracle".  The man had been diagnosed with stage 4, and yet there was no sign of the cancer on these scans.  We are so very, very grateful!

Our evening has ended with learning that JR has made EXTREMELY poor decisions regarding certain things.  I am so sad and disappointed, and at this point wondering how I can trust him again anytime soon.  It was not exactly the way I wanted to end the day.

My wonderful husband only has two more days at home until he goes back on Thursday, and JR will begin next Monday.  I no longer feel like the summer flies by because I know this is just how it is.  And I'm sure this school year will have many new adventures!
