At my school we call the students friends..."thank you to all my friends who are sitting quietly, I love that my friends in the green group are working so hard on their alligator Ann assignment..." I think you get the gist. Well, it is finally the end of my third day of school, the first day of school I cried, the second day I only cried a little in the morning, and today...no tears! I won't go into detail about my flood of tears that have come my way this week from my little friends... I don't have time, nor do I want to go into detail b/c I begin to think thoughts I don't want to think. This is my challenge this year, and I am ready for it.
I have found through all of this that I am actually getting closer to God. It seems that I have needed Him so much in the last week, and have found ways to truly call upon Him for help. I am sick of trying to deal with things on my own and solve the problems in my mind. It feels great to know that He is always by my side and is constantly in my classroom when I need Him. This week it is the big man upstairs and my amazing husband who have been my rock. Brice has supported me by drying my tears, buying me sushi, chocolate, and all the gossip magazines I could need to get my mind on other IMPORTANT things going on in this world gosh darn it!
So...blessings this week are too many to count. Even my "friends" that are trying me to no end are a blessing. I have to remember that I have such a cool job. Today for example...I had 4 people draw me pictures, I got at least 15 hugs, and even got a couple kisses on the cheek!

Hang in there Katie;I can't tell you how many times I wanted to quit teaching, but then had a great experience, one of those when you just say " ya that really worked "!
Here is another one of my great quotes, remembere this one; did anyone die, or get maimed? If not then it's not as bad as it seems, things will get better. LV Dad
