Everything is going pretty well despite the January blues creeping in. I'm having some type of histamine reaction when the steroids wear off which is leaving me to feel like I have a constant sinus infection. I can't lie down or my head feels like its going to explode. So I'm sleeping in a recliner and popping Benadryl every 6 hours. Needless to say I don't awaken to my two boys very spry. But we're getting through it.
I went to see my kids at school- finally. It was so great to see them. They have grown so much- I can't believe it!? I got to say hi to many students and teachers but couldn't make my way through the whole school. I forgot how much energy it takes to be in that building. I hope to go back and hit the other half next week.
My boys basketball team got to fill me in on their 3-0 start to the season. I'm so proud of them and so sad I haven't been able to be apart of it. We've been talking basketball in my classroom since September - knowing this was our season. And they are going for it! I can't wait to watch them play next week.
I could not be more touched with my basketball warm up shirt the boys got me. Both teams are wearing warm up shirts with my initials on them, showing me support and that they're thinking of me. One of the many reasons middle years kids are the best.... Most loyal and caring kids when you show them the same in return.
They love you Chantel. Glad you'll be able to go watch next week. You'll be so proud.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there has been a post that hasn't brought a tear to my eyes, but this one really got me. You are right - middle years children are a special group of students...but look at the teacher they have?! They learn from the best Chan :)
