Busy/hectic last few weeks!

The first couple months of school have come and gone! Holy cow!! It's already October! Where has the time gone?!

I've had some interesting things happen at school too. So far, my kids have been pretty good but I've had a few issues. Some bullying that I've nipped in the bud. I'm pretty proud of myself. But in all honesty, I was NOT going to have the same kind of year as I had last year, you better believe it! I'll be damned if I lose anymore sleep over a class period again!

The next thing was at the annual Oktoberfest.  I take my kids every year to a German restaurant to celebrate and have lunch. The restaurant we have been going to lately is an amazing, little deli. He even has his own little imported German goods grocery store. Well, my kids and I had another school join us and we had an awesome time!! Fast forward to Saturday morning and I get a message from the owner saying some of my kids were caught trying to shoplift. Imagine the horror I was feeling at that moment. I was mortified! I sent an email to all parents and students notifying them of the situation and told them that I was contemplating either cutting my group in half next year or even considering not doing it again! SO SAD for all!

Long story short, I found out by Monday afternoon that it wasn't any of my students. It was from the other group and I was instantly relieved. But I know that it could've just as easily been any of mine. I'm still worked up over it but I am happy that, in the end, it wasn't any of mine for now. It still puts me in a difficult position though because now I feel like trust has been betrayed. I'm sure I'll get past it though. I still plan on taking the children there but I'm definitely going to be more cautious and less trusting. :(

Finally, on an unrelated note, I'm reviving my free group on Facebook, called "Stronger Than Your Excuses". I'm hosting a FREE meal prep group, where I'll be sharing tips and tricks and recipes to help people get into the groove of meal planning and prepping for successful weeks ahead. If you'd like to join me, let me know and we can get you added into the group! Meal prep and planning are crucial parts of a healthy lifestyle and really cut down the stress when it comes to busy work weeks! So, let me know if you want in, and I'll get you in!
