Another week has past.....

Wow.... time goes fast! We are almost in the middle of March already!  I get on my computer in the morning.... rarely in the evening. I give all I have during the day at school.... so when I get off work I drive home and unwind, have dinner and vegetate on television until I fall asleep in my chair. That is my daily schedule. I am going to be 56 this month....kind of old to be dealing with preschoolers all day, trying to teach them, guide them, love them, break up fights, etc....  I guess that is why I am pooped after work. I don't know what is more tiring....the physical or mental aspect. You have to stay on your toes at all times! I have 17 students right now....fortunately they don't always come on the same day. However, Veronica and I took 15 to the park the other day!  We rode the bus... don't think I could walk that far with that many kids!  It was so fun!

Veronica with the kids!

The Pirate Ship

The sweetest boy in our class!

The kids had so much fun and talked about it the rest of the week! 
We also brought Toby in one day... he loved it!

He got brushed

And treats

And love!

 It was friendship week.  We talked about being friends, having friends, kinds of friends, etc...

Speaking of friends.... Thursday we lost another good friend.  Mary Lane passed away. It was expected but still sad.  She is with the Lord and in no more pain! The blessings she will receive for being His Servant must be incredible!!! I loved her so much.... and will miss her. She is the last Senior Mentor I had.  I guess I am on my own now. She joins mom, Mary, Ernestine and Virginia.

Lauren spent the weekend. Maddie did with her on Friday!  Of course, I was in bed early. They were tired and didn't stay up too late.  Yesterday we did some running around. Picked up Dylan, too. We went to the school and traded out the Sensory Bin. I had pink & red fish gravel and jewels in it... now I have wire and pasta and buttons. :D    We went to the library and Dylan is so awesome at finding the books I needed. We went to McDonalds and pigged out and then to Goodwill where I bought some books for the school. Next stop was Costco. First time I ever got out of there for $50!  And the kids got to eat samples! lol!  Went to the Learning tree and bought nothing! That really was a shock. Got groceries at Walmart and then took Dylan and Maddie home. Lots of stops! It was nice spending time with Dylan. I miss him.

See... he really does exist!

Cleaned my office / closet.  Feeling better about it.

This was Monday morning when I went to work. Crazy!

Finally.... all the kids got up after rest time and this one wasn't ready.... and we don't like to wake up the sweet little bear before his time or else!!!!

This week is St. Patricks week at our school! We'll be talking rainbows, shamrocks, leprechauns, the blarney stone..... we'll have a St. Patrick's Day party on Friday.  Hope you all have a great week!
