You are just such a joy. I love your comme...Larry,<br /><br />You are just such a joy. I love your comment, "Laugh till you pass gas," so fitting on a day like today when I need a good laugh. It is so true that we just need a good laugh every now and then. And, of course, we need to sometimes laugh at our situations or what is going on in the classroom. I had a student stick gum in another student's hair when I was absent - 8th grade boys of all things! I was so mad at it that I just had to laugh about the situation. I also agree with Kim that my family will always come before these students. I truly believe, though, that if I could fit all 865 students at our school in my house and give them the love they deserve, then I would. When it all comes down to it, we are here to show these kids love where they might never see any, and that's all that matters. Who cares about the rules and regulations? They'll be here tomorrow and the next day and years in the future. We are here to change lives and prepare people for the more brutal, real world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550688572495606931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-61850224498116750672014-10-02T08:09:45.079-04:002014-10-02T08:09:45.079-04:00Larry! I could not agree more!! I feel like asking...Larry! I could not agree more!! I feel like asking some people that complain and are miserable,"Then why are you doing this?". You are absolutely right. Why waste time that you could be making a difference in someones life on complaining and worrying. In going through something as draining as you have-you tend to take a step back and look at the entire picture. Life is what it is-you cannot make changes to the past or what has been but only towards the future and what you want to make happen. You are a joy for our classroom and bring smiles and laughter every time you enter-Thank you for that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979938769720429871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-49675545605747648512014-10-01T18:26:43.087-04:002014-10-01T18:26:43.087-04:00The most precious sound!

My boys are my world so sitting down at the kitchen table for dinner with them has been more important than working late trying to get ahead. Don't get me wrong I love my students and teaching but my family will always come first. Thank you so much for such your sweet post. You are a wonderful beautiful soul!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877791158532433651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-64030226601845821742014-10-01T10:00:26.347-04:002014-10-01T10:00:26.347-04:00I love this!

I am so consumed with what I need to learn from GA State and learn here at school, and teach that I forget I am a human! ha I love to laugh adn I do laugh often with my best friends, husband, family, and some students. I agree laugh it off I act like things are the end of the world and they are not! ahh what I thought was a big deal really doesnt matter. e.learhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966197118705918988noreply@blogger.com
