I Wonder

Yes, I have been awake for hours. I have been following my Twitter and reading my RSS feeds on Google Reader. I have been listening to the sounds of the snow storm. I have been waiting for the cardinals to come for breakfast. I have been listening to Jeff snore (It scares me when I can't hear this sound!) I have heard from one of my children and know that she and her husband are safe. I am waiting for the ABCD's to make contact. I wonder if they will take a picture of David in a snow bank. He is only one next week and is going to be a holy terror! I know that Collandra will be holding him in the picture because she is very enamored and protective of her baby brother. I wonder if she will let him have some of the fun experiences that she had when she was small. I wonder if I recommend a really great bog entry, will some of my colleagues read it and understand the enormity of the task they call teaching truly is. I wonder if my colleagues know that teaching is the greatest thing a person can do. I wonder if the staff thinks that I am crazy when I say that I am the luckiest person on the planet! I have the bestest job ever! I work with kids! I teach kids! I laugh with kids! I cry with kids! I pat kids on the back! But . . . I do the same thing with my staff - work, teach, laugh, cry, praise . . . I have a GREAT job!

Isn't that what it is all about?

Here is a recommend for reading. It is part of the Lessons Learned from Students series

I Only Thought I Knew My Students (by Ric Murray)

And that is what I think this morning!













Yep! It was all about wondering!
