Sorry for the 'mass' replies as of late, but it's just been busy, and I am trying to keep up. I like to reply individually, but occasionally, it's either mass reply or no reply at all, so forgive me if I skipped you yesterday. I did read them all, and I will send Jarvis the good wishes and thoughts from our DIS friends.
I listen to Disney music regularly, and it really does make life nicer.
Yes, our spring break is next week, but we have to go to school Monday to make up a snow day. This is the first year Jill and I have cheated up a few weeks on our trip, or else we would have been booked for next week. If we had been booked, I would have been among the masses of teachers who will be out. I wouldn't have changed my plans. We won't have enough subs Monday, so we'll be doubling classes and just babysitting that day. It's pointless, but it will count for a day, so whatever.
We are excited for you. Too bad your boys couldn't have been with us on the fun Small World boat.
Jill's friend is home. I haven't heard anything else, so hopefully that is good news.
I haven't heard anything on his mom. I texted him yesterday. I don't know if she could travel, though. I'll know more later this week.
Nice guy.
Whatever works best for Jill, I'll do. I could go down there and keep them, but she still wouldn't have her quiet time at night, so it would probably be better if Brook and/or Bella were here.
This has not been an easy year. A few of my kids have significant issues. You would be very surprised at a reality show of my class.
I love it when I can have all my kids together, and to have them all together in Disney World is just the best!
I have two girls who were controllable until Christmas, but they came back from the break with a vengeance.
I try, and I do care, but it is still rough on some days. I feel so sorry for some of these kids, especially the drug babies, who have little hope for a normal life from the very beginning.
It was so much easier to say goodbye on our trip knowing we would be seeing him again soon. It's the first time we didn't cry!
I am SO excited about getting some things done to the house. I am going by to order the new stove today, and that alone will make a big difference in my kitchen. The guy at church who is doing the work knows people who have leftover remnants, etc., so he is going to be able to get some linoleum for the bathroom floor, he thinks, for just the labor. I'll let you know for sure what I get to do, but it is looking promising to get more than one thing done with my income tax refund, and I am thrilled. This house is embarrassing.
Me too but " Just keep swimming" is on now. Lately that is all I listen too. It helps keep me in a better mood

uh oh!
That's a nice idea to do for Jill. Is your spring break this month? Ours is the second to last week of April since Easter falls so late this year.

Congrats to Jarvis! That is so wonderful. It brightens my day when I find out someone is being baptized. I am glad you get to spend quality time with your family this weekend.
Boy, Jill's week sounds like mine. Raising two small children and having a career is a challenge. Luckily, my parents kept the kids this weekend. I got to do what I wanted on a rainy weekend. It is amazing how you forget how to relax. I just felt there was something missing all weekend.
Great idea about spring break. She will get a much needed break and you can have quality time with the girls.
My prayers are with Jill's friend. A pulmonary embolism is a very scary thing. I am glad she is better.
I am leaving on Friday!!! I cannot believe it. We are so excited.

For lots of home repairs!!
Sorry about your student. It must be so hard dealing with that all year.
That is why I love the Disney trips so much. Getting to spend time with all my boys (DH included). I just love that family time & when we are home everyone is going different ways so it is so nice to have that time together. As they are getting older I know we will not get to have that much time very often.

Believe me I know how wearing it can be! It tells me you are a very caring teacher to do all that you did for him.

Congratulations to Jarvis!
Yayy for being able to get several things done on your house!

I hope she's ok! Poor girl...I'm glad your weather is clearing up! I saw a little blip about the tornadoes on the weather channel this morning...we got freezing rain!
but I am quite Dory-like so I need a reminder!
