Tj went to wrestling practice with his friend, Zeke, today. They are both very good at the sport, and it makes me proud that TJ is a patient and obedient listener and quick learner. Mara took a field trip on a school bus to Fare Way grocery story with her preschool and learned about produce. John's ice fishing with his good buddies, Pork Chop and Beau. I'm typing up invitations for TJ's 6th birthday party next month and watching Funniest Home Videos. It makes me want to record our family more often. Today a teacher told me that my somewhat sloppy attire gives off a negative impression, and it bothers me that so many think that one needs to wear panty hose, high heals, highlights, and mascara to be treated like an educated professional and influential leader. I am very excited to take my students to hear The Dalai Lama speak in Waterloo in a couple months. What an inspiring experience it should be. Today Chloe brought home some flyers that she made for a cookie and hot chocolate fundraiser she is planning for her school and wants me to laminate them. She is a very determined and dedicated young lady. I pray for our friends, the Christans, to have a safe trip to China tomorrow to bring home their adopted daughter. I pray that my student, Anthony Waltemeyer, becomes healthy and strong and kicks his cancer to the curb. I pray that I take time to build meaningful relationships with my students and their families.
