I figure that since I have ignored my blog for so long and have all sorts of new found time I should blog.
I love teaching, and today they fired me for a bunch of no good reasons. I'm sad. I'm hurt. I'm confused. My direct boss didn't know about it and she is just as upset as I am. But I don't want to dwell on it right now.. maybe later.
Last night I stopped by my cousins house to drop of a shower invitation. My cousin and her husband do foster parenting. They are amazing people, very loving and giving. When I stopped by I was reminded that they have 2 new foster kids right now. A little girl who is 18 months and a 2 week old boy. The little girl is a doll she is beautiful. As my cousin explained that the case worker is pretty sure that she spent 90% of her time in a stroller and who knows what else.. She is tiny, in the 1 percentile for growth, they were both removed under the label "Failure to thrive" I smiled at this little angel and she smiled back. J told me that if I held out my hands she would come to me. So I did, She instantly cuddled in to me just content as can be to be held and loved. It broke my heart. She doesn't walk, talk or eat anything other than baby food. I have been thinking about it ever since. It takes a lot for a child to NOT thrive. Even a child put in front of the TV most of the day will still thrive. That poor little soul has by no choice of her own been given trials to deal with that seem unfair. It makes me ANGRY.
It's Valentines Day. I don't have a Valentine.... Oh well it's a good thing life isn't about having a Valentine. I guess I do have an UnValentine..so I guess its just a friend who is a friend just like any other day. LOL
Bailey... I don't know where to start with this child. I really don't know if it is just her personality or if she really doesn't know how to learn. But she isn't doing very well in school. It kills me, I don't know how to help her.
Laira, she is still super smart. She seems to be a little down some days and that worries me. She did tell me that she doesn't have any friends. But then later told me that if her friend K isn't there then she just chases boys. Hmmm I don't know how I feel about that either.
My brother is getting married. I really need to find a dress. I am doing the flowers, which will be a lot of fun. I miss working with flowers all the time. I was reminded how happy and fun flowers are today when one of my students received a delivery in class today.
Well I need to go pick the girls up from school. I'm sure I will be writing a lot more now that I have the time. Maybe I will even work on the stories that so many of you have asked for... perhaps its time to dust off the Storyteller's blog.
Send me some love today... I could sure use it.
