Changes

We are going through some changes here....

First.. I started a new job on the 8th of September.  It was a very stressful transition but it is going good so far. 

Second... school is going well for all but one of the kids.  The one in question just does not get it.  He does not understand how his actions lead to the consequences he is getting at home or school.  So we are having to adjust how we react to this behavior.  Do we 'pile-on' to the punishment or do we just talk about it and let the punishment at school suffice?

Third... my husband has switched to 3rd shift which throws the dynamic off at home.  He is sleeping we when get home from school/work.  So far we have been doing well with not waking him but some days it is difficult. 

I do not do well with change... I like the status quo... I like my things just a certain way.... I have also passed this on to my children... I know that change is good as long as it is not change for change sake.
