day forty-nine: day's end
I go from a long day at work, including a 90-minute IEP mtg at the endTo an abrupt visit to campus, late for my instructional technology class
Back home to leftover lasagna with the guys
To cub scouts, where everyone piles in my car for a trip to the library
Kick off my shoes as I walk in at 8 and get a text that the bishop would like to see me
Shoes back on for the short ride to the church building
Sat in the lobby for an hour because of a miscommunication
Back home to tuck kids in
And what am I thinking about right now? The sweet little brunette that fell asleep on her mother's lap during those 90-minutes of talking, and planning, and reading test results, and talking, and tests. And talking. That is what I am thinking about. Her angel face right in the middle of my day. The face that said, "Can I rest now?" That snuggled up to her mama while the grown-ups talked about her. Hasta manana, I said as her mother woke her to walk out to the parking lot. Then we will start all over trying to do our best for that little sweet girl. And that is what I am thinking about at the end of my day.

I'm wondering what the Bishop wanted! There are times I wish I could curl up on my mom's lap and sleep without a care in the world.
And that is what makes you such an amazing teacher.
I'm with Connie---what'd the Bishop want? :)
Turns out there was a release to be issued. ;)
Do you have a new calling?
Your day just makes me tired reading about it. I remember so well those long IEP meetings. Trying to get the goals right and help the kids. Tons of work!! Good for you. I'm sure they love you.
What a big heart you have. My heart wants to be bigger when I read about yours.
My bishop NEVER texts me . . .(that sweet little girl is so lucky!)
