Day 3

I woke up at 3:45 this morning…sick to my stomach, been sick all day. So I wasn't really in the grateful mood today. However, God has his ways!

#1 I am grateful for my sister who lives near my parents now. With her so close, I know they are in good hands. My mother was in the hospital for the better part of yesterday. She is ok! I am GRATEFUL!! I feel a lot better knowing my sister is right up the street and can keep an eye on both our parents. I love you dearly, Michelle!

#2 I am grateful that God gave me the ability to be a teacher.  Today during class one of my students asked me what I would do if I had a million dollars. The boy next to him said, (before I could speak) she would let me live with her and buy me the things I need. I told him, you know I have my own children. He told me he could be my child too. I hope my students know that I care for them with all my heart. I often wonder if their parents really know how much teachers give of themselves for their child. This particular group of children I have had since they were in Kindergarten. I have watched them grow and develop over the last six years. They are a very special group.

#3 I am grateful for Fridays. The last day of the work week. The day that starts my weekend. Today of all days, I needed it to be Friday. I came home, undressed, and got straight into my bed….mmmmm. I feel so bad, so sick.

Sorry I don't have anymore in me tonight.
Good night,
KK
