Friends

What a wonderful snowy day we had today and of course tomorrow too! I was trying to think of a post for today and while looking for something I came across this picture. I think It speaks for itself. Curtis and Jalen are best buddies and their Moms have a hard time telling them apart from each other from the back.

It is so wonderful knowing that Curtis has a friend that will be with him all through out school. I can remember friends in school and now I see them and it seem funny how much we all have changed. I get warm feeling in my heart when I see my children enjoying life and what it has to offer. Curtis has several other buddies I just don't have resent photos of them.

This is a little funny on Jalen's Mom. Curtis spent the night with them on Friday. He was so excited about getting to spend time with him and his little brother and sister. The phone rang about 9:45 and his mom said that Curtis was complaining about his belly. Well what would you think, I want to come home. So she and I decided he would just tuff it out.

About 10:45 she called and said he was not kidding about his belly. He had thrown up all in the bathroom. Well me of course left in my jogging pants and boots to get him. I pick him up and we left and stayed in the living room for the night. He woke up the next morning and was feeling a little better. Around lunch he was eating Pringles chips.

Sherri called to check on Curtis on Saturday. He was felling better and was up and playing. You know it is true friendship when your puking child is at his friends house and does not give the virus to them and their family. Curtis told me he did not want his friend to get it because it was bad, but it was OK that his brother got it on Monday morning (lol).

Friendship

None of that Sissy Crap Are you tired of those sissy 'friendship' poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this card- Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.

1. When you are sad --I will jump on the person who made you sad like a spider monkey jacked up on Mountain Dew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4. When you're scared -- we will high tail it out of here.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining, ya big baby!!!!

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick --Stay away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I'll pick you up and dust you off..

9.. This is my oath....I pledge it to the end. 'Why?' you may ask -- because you are my FRIEND!

Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the true warmth.

I got this in an email today and I love it and wanted to share it with all my friends.

Special Suprise

What a wonderful day we had back today. Molly one of my students left us just before Halloween and went back home to GA. Her mom Karen was serving in Iraq and Molly was staying with her grandmother Carol.

This is one of the sweetest little girls I have ever meet. All the children in class loved her and were very sad to see her go. Yesterday I got a message that Molly and her Mom were coming to see us and bring us something special. This morning I told the children that we were getting a special surprise. I explained that Molly was coming to see us and her Mom that had been in Iraq was coming too. The children were all excited, they kept asking how much longer till Molly got there.

We were at play time and they came in the gym. I could not believe how much she had changed in just a few months. Molly's smile was bigger than ever and it was so good to see them. I forgot to mention that her Dad is in Iraq now and will be coming home in March for a visit and will be home in May keep him in your prayers.

Molly and Karen brought the Day School a flag that had flown over the US headquarter in Iraq. How cool is that. Karen talked to the kids about Iraq, but they were to excited about seeing Molly. They also brought us some cupcakes, pink Dora for the girls and red Wal-E for the boys. We all had a great visit and hated it when she had to go, but they had to be back in GA tomorrow because her brother had to go back to school.

There is not enough money in the world that could replace the bond you have with your students each year. You think that you might forget one, but there is something always around to remind you of many of them. You might find it at Christmas while putting up an ornament they had given you or something in your room from them. The satisfaction you get when you see those young children leave your room and grow is indescribable. To know you had a small part in it is amazing and that is why I LOVE TEACHING!!!!!!!!!!
