I love that no matter what we are going through, we can still find things to be grateful for, and I know how important they are to healing! Your life sounds incredibly busy, and lots of family involvement too! I know how you treasured that talk time with your son, they grow up so very fast and fly away! Wishing you many delights with the little ones in their classes. What a difference one loving, caring teacher can make! I love those trees! :-))Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-16097323057185465852013-09-02T13:53:23.023-05:002013-09-02T13:53:23.023-05:00Sounds like you had a busy, but very gratifying we...Sounds like you had a busy, but very gratifying week!

IF IT WEREN'T A PRESCHOOL CRAFT.

We can't...We also did it in white as a snowman. We can't do ghosts (or witches or anything scary) at preschool, but the ghost would be darling. And no, we didn't tell anyone we were doing it, and yes, we had two girls in tights. <br /><br />I first had PVCs when I was in the delivery room after having Emma, and that lead them to my cardiomyopathy. In and of themselves, they are not supposed to be dangerous, but they can be a sign of something that is, which is the case with me. Now the cardiomyopathy is gone, but I still have the PVCs. They alarm medical staff that isn't used to me. Sometimes I can feel them, often I don't even know they're happening.<br /><br />We've had bats in the church building every day this past week. BIG ONES. I've never seen them that size before. The Bat Patrol guys came back (they were supposed to have already taken care of the problem in the attic above the sanctuary, which is where they are hanging around) and were commenting on how big these bats were. They're a different breed or species or whatever it's called than the ones we usually get. This morning, before the church service, there was one, and when our trusty Mr. Doug swept it down off the ceiling, it flew and landed on a lady's back. And she didn't get hysterical or anything, which I would have. In fact, I would have probably wet my pants.<br /><br />And yeah, I knew the laundry was going to come home. And I showed him how to wash it. I bought him a box of Color Catchers to use, just in case he's not good at sorting.Dyanne @ I Want Backsieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946323852124525597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3814181789754982227.post-22662583908143120142013-09-01T20:54:46.960-05:002013-09-01T20:54:46.960-05:00Thank you!

I often find myself getting frustrated over the little things, but I can't imagine working with these kiddos if I had everything going on in my life that you do.

So far, every appointment has been pretty much like this one. Well, except for those first few sucky ones. They weren't so great.<br /><br />The volleyball initiation was VERY wholesome. The senior girls called all the freshman moms the night before, asked permission to come get the girls at 5 a.m., and asked us not to tell the girls they were coming. Surprise! It's a really sweet tradition.<br /><br />Strawberry Pretzel Salad is delish. You must try it. The pretzels are the crust and make the whole dish salty-sweet, but just barely salty. Not overly so.
