Teacher Appreciation Week

This last week was teacher appreciation week at the school where I was let go a month ago. Do you know how hard it is to give the teacher that replaced you a gift? It is hard enough alone for me to know that even though I was the teacher for 3 terms, she is the one getting all the appreciation. I asked Lorinda what I should get her. She told me I should give her a note that tells the teacher I will happily accept 3/4 of all gifts she is given this week. I thought that was really funny.

My sweet neighbors Lydia and Maria had Porter, Marshall, and Lauren all give me a gift certificate and flowers for teacher appreciation week. That was unexpected and unbelieveably sweet. I can't express how much it meant to me.

Slowly going crazy, again

Is it wrong that I am happier when I work?

I apologize to Melanie too.

Melanie,
I hope you know that I was joking. I love you. But why did I suddenly get blocked from your blog?

I'm apologize for Melanie

Dear Katrina,
I am so sorry for how neglectful MELANIE has been with her blog. I realize she is a very busy person with a lot on her plate. In fact, she spends a great deal of her day driving her children to and from school. But I am sure she realizes how hurtful it is that she is not updating us on her life. I, on the other hand, am glad that I have been dutifully updating my blog in a timely matter (Note the sarcasm).
