I love that
Ruth has begun to hold this weekly time of celebration on her blog. Head on over there to check out the amazing celebrations linked up. Each
Saturday I sit down and reflect on the week that just passed. I love the focus
on the positive – it is a good reminder for us all.
There are
many things I could celebrate today – my students were amazing this week. My
own children were fabulous too. Instead I’m going to focus on this weekend. I’m
in Chicago to spend time with friends. Unlike when I was young and could take
off at a moments notice, this now requires a lot of work.
Sub plans
to be out of my classroom for an appointment on Friday.
Plans and
schedules for my boys.
My mom and
dad to watch them after school yesterday.
My mother
in law to stay with them last night and the rest of the weekend.
Another
steroid shot for Bally, hoping that will help her through the weekend.
Friends to
shuttle my boys from one event or another.
An
additional trip to the grocery store to stock up on food for them to be snowed
in.
And on, and
on, and on.
But we are here. Dinner with friends last night, shopping in the snow and more time and meals together today and tonight. I’m grateful for the effort it took on everyone’s part to get us here to have a fun weekend in the snow. It truly does take a village.
