thanksgiving holidays begin after today

Before I begin my blog,

picture is of me and our school granny taken at

school, she is in her mid 70's and still works everyday!!!

My job as a school nurse can be very challenging

but it is the very best job for me.

Today I focus on the glorious 9 days off I will

have after finishing my day today.

To be able to feel that excitement of a week off of school

at my age is the bomb.

Remember being a little child,

the day before holiday or summer vacation?

The excitement you felt just thinking

of no homework, no going to bed early,

waking up early,

all routines could be blown because

"SCHOOL WAS OUT"

Excitement is in the air at my school.

Kids are being happy,

coworkers are counting down the hours

knowing we are coming back

for just three weeks before

Christmas holiday is even exciting.

Pray for the little children who are not so happy.

Who's lives are easier by coming to school

because school is a safe place

where they get two hot meals,

hugs when they need it,

discipline when they need it,

Where many care about their future.

Pray for our schools also

for those children who enter it

angry and ill, who try to make it an unsafe place

just because they hate their lives and

want others to pay for it.

Pray for us who daily are a part of all these

children's lives.

Help us all to focus on what is really important

and help us to do the right thing in each

individual situation.

It is hard sometimes to see the things that

some children must face daily.

Things that even we as adults, couldn't do.

Be thankful for the children you get to

take home at the end of the day,

of those that you call family.

Don't hate me because I have 9 days off,

what, you say?

I said:

DON'T HATE ME BECAUSE I HAVE 9 DAYS OFF!!!!!!!

ooooh, the green eye of jealousy is not becoming

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
