The three of us, Thomas, Alana, and I started school today. Kevin took Thomas to school since I had to go on to work. I was a little sad, but I'm blessed to have a wonderful husband whom I trust totally. I guess Thomas had a good day. He didn't offer a whole lot of information. I will say the second day was much better, and he seemed a lot happier. I remember he was exactly this way last year too. Alana had a great day. She looked so cute in her uniform. On Mondays and Fridays she is in class with 5 other little boys. But, if you ask her, she will tell you it's she and Mrs. Jackson and the boys. Silly girl. Before I started teaching the big kids, I thought my daughter was getting to be such a big girl. However, after being with the 5th/6th graders, she seems like such a little baby. Even though I am working, I'm blessed to be in the building with her.
As for me, so far so good. I love these kids. Before school started I had 6 girls and 1 boy. I prayed to God that he bring us one other boy to class. Yesterday, God answered my prayer with not one more boy, but two. So, we are up to 9 kids, and it's all good. These kids are great. I love the fact that they can go to the bathroom by themselves. I can lean over their shoulder without breaking my back. It's okay if they say the word 'butt'. I also like the fact, that you can simply say it like it is, and not worry about simplifying or creativeness. Make any sense at all?
The coolest part of all has been the prayers in class, the singing, and review of the Bible. I have never been in an academic teaching setting where that is taken place. I must say it's pretty awesome.
I could go on and on...but, I'm tired...imagine that????

I have been thinking about you every day this week. How are you holding up? Are your feet tired. I always remember that taking some getting used to.
The kids are precious. You are too. Hang in there. I am proud of you.
I suppose "Are your feet tired" should have ended like this "?"
I guess I am tired too. :-)
