All good things must end.

Friday is my last day at school. This is a bittersweet thing. Every year as we walk our students out to the bus and the stand on the hill and wave the buses on, I think about my kids and almost cry, even though they might be the biggest boogers around. This year has been such a roller coaster. From finding out that your unborn baby has a heart defect and will need open heart surgery withing 10 days to then finding out he has a chromosomal defect to retaining my first two kids ever to losing a principal. Needless to say it has been many ups and downs.

Today I am thinking about my principal. She is the only principal that I have worked for and she is the person that gave the opportunity to pursue my dreams. She is a wonderful motivator and always stands behind her teachers, even if she has to pull you back in after the parents are gone and say "WHAT were you thinking GIRL??" I will miss her desparately and pray that we find the right replacement for her. School will be a new experience next year. So this blog is for Connie.....Connie McD....You are a wonderful mentor and friend and thanks for giving the most rewarding opportunity and teaching me to be calm and take it one day at a time!! Good luck at Furman and God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!
