Special People

As I get older I find a much deeper appreciation for the people that come into my life. For the past nine years that I have been a teacher I always appreciated my Aloha family but never really knew the depth of their gratitude. Teaching was not my first choice or even my 100th choice as a major in college, however, I know our wonderful Lord put me in my current position for a reason! This year especially, I have grown to know our preschool families on a much more personal level. There are so many fun parents that bring such joy to my morning and afternoon. The lives they lead are busy but rewarding and I have certainly enjoyed the new perspective they have given me on family, marriage and life. In addition to our preschool families, I have grown to deeply appreciate my students. It wasn't until I brought Caden to our program that I truly understood how much they do for me and our school. So for anyone reading this blog that has been a part of Little Warriors Thank You for shedding such positive light my way!

This blog is dedicated to my "daughter" Cynthia as she heads off in a limo to her senior prom. Although she was dateless, her mother saved up enough money to purchase a limo for the evening. I can't think of a more deserving young woman that Cynthia who has a smile on her face and the most positive attitude of anyone I know!! Thanks for always teaching this 34 year old crazy teacher that there are only 24 hours in a day...it CAN get done tomorrow, I CAN'T make everyone happy, and that I DO need more than four hours of sleep. What would I do without you! Love you always.. your "other" mom!

When you leave your child alone...

Yesterday was a very busy day at work. I had four letters of recommendation to write, lesson plans for my HS students, and orientation paper work for our new preschool parents...Within a few minutes, I hear an almost silent giggle...hmm I thought. I wonder what Caden is up to..
