Kim's attempt

Hello family!  At first when I was reading the instructions I thought, "No way I can do this!"  Then I thought to myself...Ashley took off by herself and went to Memphis, TN, Tor is traveling to South Africa (doesn't get there until tomorrow, Wednesday) I can MAYBE challenge myself and try to blog!   So far it is pretty easy, but I am not attempting pictures for awhile....baby steps!

Today was my first day back at work.  The kids were really sweet.  One little seventh grade boy, who I think has a form of autism, came right up to my face and whispered, "I'm sorry about what happened Mrs. Bender.  I was sad all last week thinking how sad you were."  Which, of course, made me cry.   Then about five others of those usually little brats came up and hugged me, so needless to say, the beginning of third period was tear filled!  In the afternoon I just was plain ole tired.  Came home and instead of doing anything productive...open cards, cried (which made me cough) and then slept. 

Maybe I will get something done later tonight...or tomorrow! Will definitely be checking our blog.  Great idea Diane...and really, if I can do it, you can all do it!  Hope to be reading posts from you all!  Love you all so much...so, so, so much!  We have a little boy who has been taken away from his home by social services (he's in first grade) and it is crazy to hear all the abuse he has endured from his parents...made me think, "Maybe we only had our parents for a short time, but how lucky we were to have THEM!"  We had/have so much LOVE surrounding us! Okay, signing off before I start writing more...English teacher issues, you know! :)
