the wind down of school

i can feel spring break coming and soon after that the end of this school year. this time of year everybody is tired and a little cranky. and if i hear the words crct again i think i'll throw up!

i am so thankful that tasha does a countdown for us! it helps to know that i can do anything for 38 days. it's not that i don't love my job but it takes so much energy that sometimes i feel that i have to reach to my toes to get enough to go on.

i feel so fortunate that our school system is small enough that we don't have to worry at this time about losing jobs so i feel very blessed. i am so sad for those who are being cut in the larger counties. it will make teaching very challenging. i also want to say that people who think parapros are expendable are nuts! i was a para while i worked on my degree and i worked and made a difference in the life of children and helped my teacher be able to do what she needed to do. those paras will be sorely missed. their job is grossly underappreciated.

we talked to our little girl in texas. her birthday is coming up and so we asked her what she wanted and she said.... a penguin! how funny! the other thing she wanted was for us to play the georgia fight song, i love my little georgia bulldog : )
