This week was not easy. Even though it was a short week (Monday was a holiday) it was pretty action packed and tiring.

The Truman school situation continues to deteriorate. He is rebelling against putting on his uniform every day and is more or less exploding in anger and frustration before and after school. Oddly enough he is fine at school. Jess discussed the situation numerous times with Truman's teacher but her concerns fall on deaf ears. Yesterday she met with the principal and he was super understanding and solution oriented. Jess was impressed. He gave a number of options to try this coming week.

Work is extremely hectic at the moment. I've experimented with getting up at 4:30 instead of the usual 5:00 to try and cover the difference but that 30 minutes seems to be very important so I've abandoned that experiment. :)

Next week is the last hectic week since Europe tends to get very quiet for 2 weeks around Christmas. I'm looking forward to the break but we wish we were coming home or that someone would come visit us. It's a little depressing.
