I miss my blog.  With Facebook and Snapchat and my family group chat I find myself less and less priortizing the blog, but that makes me a little sad.  

I realize I missed Halloween all together, and like an awful Halloween prank we somehow ended up with a crazy wildcard for president, and both kids are sick, and I have breathing problems and doctors appointments and a surgery scheduled, but right now I just want to say that I love my school.  We had such a lovely Veterans’ Day ceremony with a flag ceremony and special guests and hand made flag projects waving in little hands.  Normally I would have missed this, but today I had a doctor appointment that went so smoothly that I got to work an hour early, just as kids were coming out for the ceremony.  Despite all the crazines in the world, I am so glad that my family is part of such a strong, thoughtful, caring community.  I sat through an EST meeting this afternoon and was struck by the true thought and concern expressed for each child on the agenda. Every day I am thankful for the school that has fostered both my children’s education and my own career.  There is light in this world and it shines from all of us.
