Wow.  What a week.  I’ll try not to whine, but after twelve days of boy illnesses, a bout with it myself, antibiotics, and a spouse in Boston, I’m beat.  I really don’t know what I would have done without my mom (and dad) around during this time.  Especially their willingness to take feisty small boy away from his sick and easily agitated mother brother.  Thanks mom.

I still don’t feel great, so perhaps the weepies are close at hand.  Then I checked my mailbox and found a fat envelope filled with teacher warm fuzzies.  

And I wept yet again.  

Another group of fabulous young adults are graduating from high school, young adults that blessed me with their laughter, brilliance, and energy every day during their 8th grade year.  Wow, we did have fun that year.  I have lots of memories from this class of kids a whopping four years ago.  Even a kid from my math class wrote a sweet note.  Yes, folks.  Math.  

 I love whoever at the high school does this.  They know what gets at a teacher’s soul.  This pack of notes would have been a gift, no matter the circumstance.  But today, weary and tired, I appreciate them all the more.  

Congratulations class of 2008.  You are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
