Happy Holidays to you, Tricia, and thank you for posting. I'm so happy to hear that everything is going so well for you. I am home recovering from brain surgery and writing report cards for my third graders. As a teacher, you don't get a break even when you are home. They are intensive reports with narritives, and it is important to take time for each one. The parents hang on to everything you say, and in your profession, I know that you understand what I am talking about. It's hard now because I coming off the Decadron and am high as a kite. All my son's friends are home from college, and teenagers are steaming through the house. There's no way I can get rest, but maybe that is what is keeping me alive. I know we are supposed to take time to rest and heal, but I feel that my mission of teaching my third graders and hopefully helping them to understand life at a deeper level is worth it. Again, it really gives me a purpose.
Thank you so so much for your constant wisdom and for all you share!!!! You are a true gift!!!!
