There really is a time and a season to every thing under heaven.<br /><br />P.S. My 7th grade son that you taught just graduated high school yesterday. He was the salutatorian and even received a couple departments awards -- one of which was physics. You sure started him out loving science. Thanks for that.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01447684647722772526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-35004940451838354392012-05-22T14:41:15.436-06:002012-05-22T14:41:15.436-06:00I sure love your writing, friend.

As it was, minimun wage would not have covered child care, and I was blessed to be forced to be home. Even though I have struggled over the last (ahem!) nine years to finish that darn degree, I am grateful for those blessings in disguise. My caboose only has 3 more years at our station, and I would have missed so much. You have made a great sacrifice, greater possibly for you than for many others, because you have such a strong ambition (or mission) to teach, but you are right, you have been very blessed. And you have done a great job!CO SILnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-56449284807641825932012-05-21T12:50:03.398-06:002012-05-21T12:50:03.398-06:00Oh, that is darling.

We are lucky to stay at home, aren't we? <br /><br />I was a nanny for a little while and I cannot imagine what it was like for the mom to come home and have her son sob my name when I left and ask for me when he hurt himself when we were both there.Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178196211079230972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-37312977414569494452012-05-21T11:53:24.667-06:002012-05-21T11:53:24.667-06:00So so sweet.
