Traveling on Thanksgiving weekend

I am thankful for living in the time period when I can get on a plane and have my son get on another plane and we both end up at my Mother's for Thanksgiving. I hate to fly, but I love to visit!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thankful for the people in our children's lives

We know we cannot always be near. We are thankful that our children have the ability to make good friends.

Thankfulness comes in a sunrise

I did not have the camera this morning as the sun rose on my way to the pancake breakfest at school. It was beautiful!
I am also thankful that I can hear the helicopters at night. Their engines bring me that much closer to my son, who I really miss right now.

Thankful for

co workers who can laugh with me about the strange things kids do on our team. Middle School teachers have to see humor in growing up. We have been there and are willing to walk a new group through each year- with humor!

Thankful for the new couches!

I am thankful for

I am thankful for

Children of all shapes and sizes, backgrounds, abilities and disabilities.
I am just wondering if the Science and Social Studies classrooms are really Noah's Ark for school!

Thankful for

Young teachers who will take on beginning strings at the middle school level.

It is good to see you Sarah Palin!

I caught glimpses of Palin on different shows this weekend. Not home in time for Oprah-but would have liked to see the interview.
I stopped watching her on TV after the Couric interview- it was so bad. Katie, obviously, was willing to do whatever it took to twist Sarah. Disappointing. I haven't watch Couric since- and probably never will again.
Finally, I am beginning to see the Palin that others rave about in person. She did not stop in my area (who did?) so I knew no one who had heard her first hand. I am anxious to read her book. I am even more anxious for her to stretch out and learn more. I think she could be an excellent role model.
And next time- don't run with John McCain!

Thirty days of Thankful

Today I am thankful that we can still move a couch downstairs!
