Thank you for plentiful sick days. As a state employee I get a generous package of sick and personal days in addition to all federal holidays and summers. Yesterday, I couldn’t get a sentence out without succumbing to yet another bout of cough. That has to be annoying to have a teacher who is explaining a concept and has to stop every minute to catch her breath. No gracias. So I took a sick day, went to the doctor, got two prescriptions. A gold star for myself for taking care of myself. I do have some martyr tendencies so this is progress.
Thank you for schools and aftercare. R’s preschool is amazing. His teacher loves him, she is so personable, always sharing pictures of him. Sending stuff home such as newsletters, home-to-school connection projects. He feels safe, he is learning to read and write. He is writing his name in “scribble scrabble.” They went on a field trip to a farm, saw many animals, had a wonderful time. L’s kindergarten is great. Home-to-school connection could be better but then what do I know? I teach HS. They are having a field trip to see a play in December! Both schools are free, warm, get free universal breakfast and lunch, and provide quality learning.
Thank you for this writing challenge. It allows me to stretch my brain and be part of an amazing community of writers. I love seeing different lives, themes, and styles of writing.
