Easter, kids, dogs, and ramblings

First off, a happy belated Easter to everyone. I had a wonderful afternoon with my family and extended family. The low key aspect really made the dinner, which I prepared (who else?), the company, just everything about the day honestly very nice. It was an extra nice touch to have Easter Monday off from work. It was only a four day weekend but it was enough to recharge the batteries.
Then I returned to work today. This morning seemed as though it lasted as long as the four day weekend. It just dragged! The afternoon breezed by and was over in a blink. I did have time today to evaluate some of the children and there is one that is some enigma. He is right on the edge of being identified as special ed then just when you think you have him figured out, he snaps out of his funk and you have to wonder if its a maturity issue or a disability. This is something that is quite a concern and you have to walk a very thin line before alarming a parent. Would you want to know about a potential problem or would you rather wait it all out and see if it is a maturity thing? I honestly see both sides.
And then there is Bruiser. I've come to the decision that I am going to look around for a vintage skateboard. He is just the right age to begin boarding. Apparently, from my reading, skateboarding and bulldogs go together like cream and sugar. It seems to be a natural phenomenon that they are able to ride. If Bruiser can master this, I have to admit I will be proud. Silly I know but there are days I feel as though Bruiser is all I have. He is my pet, my child, my grandchild, my love, my friend, my heart. You would have to own a bulldog to know that this pretty much describes the breed. All dogs are great but bulldogs are something very different.
I may not be blogging anymore or if I do it will surely be on a whim. I really write for only me and maybe I can channel that energy into poems(my first love). Could be the mood I'm in, I'm not sure.
For now, on with life.
