HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MICHELLE AND ADAM

How time flies when you're having fun.

Saturday

There is going to be a new way of thinking in the toddler room. We are going to look for the positive in every crying, biting, hitting child. I shared with my coworkers that each one of us has been placed on earth by God to do his will. We don't know what the future holds for the 29 toddlers that are in our care.

I wouldn't know what to do without the input and validation of my family. No matter where my husband and children are, it doesn't matter, they carry me through days when people can't see the good in someone else.

I no longer have thoughts of quitting my job because of frustration.

People

I am tired of younger teachers at my school who expect every toddler to be a carbon copy of each other. Everyone on this earth has a spirit that we were born with and we need to embrace it and nurture it.


I have never fit in with other people in my life and it continues especially as I try to assist the younger teachers.


I am very thankful that I only work 7 1/2 hours a day.

Saturday

Patricia, dad and I went to Poor Richards for breakfast. Today will be a two meal day.


Dad has requested homemade chicken and dumplings and Jell-O and a chocolate cake for his Father's day feast.


Please say a prayer for Aunt Evie, Jan and Brain. The floods in Cedar Rapids are horrible. There is no fresh water to drink, the local hospital has been closed and three thousand people have had to be moved. Cedar Rapids will never be the same.

Sick day

I didn't realize that having a sinus infection can make me so sick. I was ready to walk out the door to go to work today at 6:40 this morning but my body didn't agree.


Dad chauffeured me to the doctors office where I was thoroughly checked out. Now I have I have antibiotics to take for a week.


Patricia is on her way home so I know she will keep my mind off of being sick. Anyone else want to come home and keep me busy.


Thank goodness I don't have to get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning. I am looking forward to sleeping in.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MY SWEET MICHELLE. MY HAVE BLESSED MY LIFE WITH BEING MY FIRST BORN. NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE.

Parents

Yesterday we started the summer session at school which means some new students and new parents. Its interesting how some parents hand their child right over to me and tell them that they will have a good time being with Mrs. Deb and then there's the other parents that have to be escorted from the building after half a day because they can't deal with leaving their child.


We are now dealing with a three year old that has been never seen the inside of a school. Grandma and mom have devoted the last three years of their lives to her until the dad demanded she go interact with other children. The grandma and mom had to wean little Miss Ayu off the pacifier and bottle in a matter of 48 hours. Nap time is my favorite time with Ayu when she bellows for 20 minutes. Ayu will survive this time of her life I'm not to sure about her mom.


Not a lot more to tell.

Bill continues to do great recovering from his stroke and I try to do my best to be a supportive caregiver.

Parents
