Friendship

Last week my school was rocked by the loss of a dear aide. She had become my friend and I loved seeing her smile everyday! She had been through hard times, but always stayed positive and kept moving forward. I am so sad for her friends and family because we all miss her very much, but I know she is no longer in pain and can truly be a guardian angel for her children.

I was blessed to have her in my life for 5 years and I will cherish all the talks we had for the rest of my life. Miss Diana you will be missed, but your impact on the lives of the students in our school will live on!

So today I am so very grateful for the time I had to get to know Diana, even if it was much too short.

Until next time,

Menu Plan for the Week 11-28-10

Well Thanksgiving was awesome at our house. I made a ham this year and just turkey breasts, so we wouldn't waste a whole turkey. It worked out wonderfully! The ham is almost gone! Can you tell we love our ham around here!! It was much quieter than last year, but I really did miss having our friends and family spending the weekend with us. Hopefully next year they will be able to join us again.

I cannot believe I only have 3 weeks until winter break begins. Where has this school year gone?!? All I can say is I am really looking forward to the time off. It has been a tough year. The boys are ready for a full break too. I see lots of chilling in our future!

I spent most of the weekend on my sewing machine finishing orders for aprons. It is a relief to have them complete, now I will have time to get new orders done before Christmas. The boys have picked out fabric for their teachers Christmas gifts, so I will be starting those aprons today. I love being able to be creative and make some extra money at the same time!

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
