sounding board needed

Yesterday was a hard day to teach in my classroom. One of my students made a choice that took matters and that student out of my hands. It couldn't be stopped. There was nothing anyone could do but watch it unfold like a nightmare before your eyes that you have no control over. Everyone was shaken.
No matter how they push us we all love these children. Their bad choices hurt us as if ithey were our own child. As I was leaving the building I was told that I had had a bad day and should go home and do something to relax, something just for me.

God took over.
Sarah called. Jeremy was at MEPS for the night. She wanted to spend time with me. I needed to spend time with her.

She wantd to go mud bogging!

I said, "in your truck".

She said, "No, in your van!"

I said, "No, in your truck!"

She said, "No, in your van!"

She is so spoiled.

And yes we got stuck in a mud hole in my mini van!

Praise God for rednecks. They know what their doing when it comes to mud holes.

I was also able to collect some fossil rocks and tadpoles for my students while we were there.

We had a good time and I was able to relax.

When I got home mom had made spaghetti and let me talk to her till way past our bedtimes.

My student's have a ting they like to say after we finish the Morning Prayer.

I say, "God is good"

They say, "All the time"

I say, "All the time"

They say, "God is good."

Then we begin our day.
