Speaking of which, mine starts at 3:30 today. Two weeks off.
I have a student teacher coming in January. I hope she's ready. I'm never ready.

I caved and joined pinterest after writing a post stating I never would. Color me wishy-washy.
This week one of my students gave "me" three World Vision Ducks for Christmas. I cried.
Rough decisions made at work this week, my heart hurts.
Joy shared at work this week, I helped the kids make these for their parents. They were so patient and the darn things turned out cute. Pictures were taken of ours but I'm too tired to upload and download (or is it the other way around?)
My Dylan told me, "You come up with the best ideas!" I gave credit to whom it was due.
My son, who is coming home on Sunday, asked if a friend could join us on Christmas. I'm thinking I did a fine job raising my son with an open heart.
My niece is joining me at church this weekend and wants to be a part of my life. My heart is singing with joy! And we'll be doing some "pinterest" baking come next week.
Singing? My friend Amy is for the first time this weekend at church. Can't wait!
Tonight we're going to see The Story with Steven Curtis Chapman, Max Lucado, The Newsboys and more. Our Christmas gift to each other I guess. (I have to write "I guess," because we agreed to not exchange presents...) It is a splurge.
I have started exercising again, and I'm doing this with some amending (variety of squats and leg lifts). I'm liking it. On alternate days I walk/run:

I'm liking that the positives for this week far outweighed the negatives.
I needed to see that.

Love this post! Great stuff in your life!
How do you manage to get two full weeks off? We work up thru Thursday next week...ack!
a son with an open heart....you truly ARE blessed.
Yes, Virginia is my link for Mall Fragments this week. I do hope you may find some time to visit?!!!
Great fragments! It sounds like you did raise a wonderful boy. A "friend" or for lack of a better word, a "stray"? My mom was/is notorious for taking in 'strays' during the holidays... there is always a gift in the closet and room for one more!
I love those wreaths... can you send me the instructions... we do a 4th grade Holiday Sale where the kids make crafts and then buy them and we donate the money toward our school Angel Tree. My boy will be in fourth grade next year...
That World Vision duck gift is great! I like your lesson plan logo too.
Stopping by from Friday Fragments.
Awesome,uplifting post. You truly are blessed, are obviously a wonderful mother. In case nobody has taken time to say it yet, I am proud of you. Hugs and have an awesome weekend.
Hi! It's my first time here (following from Friday Fragments)
I love the crafts you made your class!
And yes - it does sound like you did an amazing job with your son. Christmas is about sharing joy :) How wonderful that he wants to share the joy of his family with his friend.
I like that idea of your work - maybe I'll try that too :)
Maybe...
