Every Teacher Thanks You!

What I love most about teaching is kids. It just wouldn't be the same place if they didn't show up and it sure wouldn't be as entertaining as it is if there weren't a wide variety of them with a wide range of personalities and learning needs. We find a reason to LOL everyday. Friday I passed out bubble gum that dyes your tongue blue and we pretended that we were practicing for the Texas TAKS tests because someone heard somewhere that if your mouth is moving your brain is in gear. We counted it as an educational experience.

AUDREY has taken off for Dallas! We decided as a family (the two of us) that we could save a lot of time and money if she finished out the school year in a public school instead of home school. She took off with my sister Julia Blankenship and her favorite cousin Cristin. We gotta hand it to you Audrey and remember...someday you will be able to look back and laugh at all the things that now are so different from your past life: 1) going from too much alone time to none 2) mostly silence to late night serenades from an electric guitar AND enjoy all those things you may not see much of when you return: 1) regular meals 2) someone to play with 24/7 and 3) no birds, cats, dogs or lambs to feed. I dedicate the Trace Atkinjs song "You're Gonna Miss This" to you.
Love ya, Mom
