Awaiting Thanksgiving break
There are 10 days of work until Thanksgiving break and I'm just trying to hang in there til then. Its been a very hard time the past few weeks even for Caroline. Our computer crashed and we lost everything, every file, piece of artwork we've made, every program. So we've spent the past week trying to rebuild everything that we lost, and most of it we can't get back (please don't suggest any techie people to contact-- by this time, we have tried everything and everyone, thanks.)
Even with surviving October mostly in 1 piece, things have been pretty rough inside. Someone from our past that we thought was dead, that we had finally made peace with, suddenly contacted us over the weekend. That has stirred up a lot of feelings and a lot of hard memories. Not even Caroline knows how to deal with it. No one knows what to do. An ex-friend that we haven't seen in years is going into the hospital and for some reason that is triggering a lot of reactions. Which doesn't even make sense, because she's been out of our life for years now.
Work is crazy but things may be looking up. Right now things are in limbo, but, there may be some better things on the horizon. We're sort of in a holding pattern for a couple weeks. Things are crazy busy. If we ever have any free time, we try to catch up on some sleep. All of us miss having time to just read for hours on the couch. It seems like all we do is work for school and try to catch up on paperwork we're behind on.
We did a lot of artwork to get through October. An entire art journal. We will be posting some links so you can see it behind the cut:
Woops...nevermind. Since we lost everything on our computer, we had to get the links from someone else and she just went offline. Will try to post them another day.
Anyway it was a journal that we did different topics, several of us, throughout the month, since we didn't have anyone to talk to. Sometimes doing art helps a little.

Im going to try to get a scrapbook for christmas so I think me and the others will try and make an art journal aswell, it'll probably help alot. Especially with Elizabeth since shes good with being creative and writing on a daily basis, something the rest of us struggle to do.

And congratz on making it through October, it can be a freaky month. Especially for Bonnie(shes one of our little ones). She was kinda creeped out by some costumes when we went trick or treating but came out alright. We all had tons of fun! Hope you have a really good thanksgiving and things go alot easier for you.
Sincerly,
Margo
i'm sorry to hear about your computer. it's happened to me so i understand how devasting it is, especially the really personal things like stories and pictures and art.
although you can't recover it, try to remember that losing it doesn't mean that you've lost the most important thing - your creativity, and how you all have learned to work well together.
anyway, i'm proud of you all for making it to the other side of another really hard month. that is another great success that you should be proud of yourselves for. it will make each day ahead that much easier.
have fun getting ready for thanksgiving.
