THEN, I was asked to be a traveling tutor for THE test here in Texas. I started work in Sept. and finished just before THE test was given. Then my supplies went back to the attic....yes, my friend, I can relate!

Always good to come to the end of somet...Hi Debbie,<br />Always good to come to the end of something and feel like you have done your best, but ahhhh, it's finally over! I bet you are a great teacher.<br /><br />Yea, our daughter put us on to netflix and we are so glad she did, cause our blockbuster store near us closed awhile back. I wasn't sure if I would like it cause sometimes I have to be in the mood for certain types of movies, but you pick your own and they send them in the order in which you have them, and it is great really cause you don't have to go and try to find something, you just get it in the mail, and you can watch it anytime you want and keep it as long as you want, then send it back, and they will send another one, and you can also download them on your laptop, at least that is how we do it, and somehow hubby hooks it to our reg TV.<br />So it has been a real blessing and we watch twice the movies we used to for $3.00 less a month. Can't beat that!!<br /><br />I thought hubby did a great job on the table too. It would be hard if you were color blind to match a table or your clothes. Someone was telling me that a friend of theirs wanted to make an app for an iphone that would help color blind people determine what color things are so if they were out shopping they could do it themselves, without any help, but they were wondering about the feasibility of it, but I said I know about 3or 4 people that are colorblind, and now I know of 5, so I imagine there are quite a few, if everyone knew 4-5 people that would be a lot. <br /><br />You have a good rest from your labors!!<br />and hope all is well with you and yours,<br />Blessings, NellieNellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-75736239554527884132011-03-31T20:13:34.731-04:002011-03-31T20:13:34.731-04:00You make me smile when I read your posts....and I ...You make me smile when I read your posts....and I think you must be one incredibly awesome teacher.....Enjoy your time......Nikki (Sarah)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13731200601840020130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-90282719914975308292011-03-31T19:15:57.530-04:002011-03-31T19:15:57.530-04:00Congrats on a job well done.

I loved the kids, but I became fed up with the administrative BS. I have continued to teach for years, just not in a formal setting. Enjoy your time and space. Job well done!

I just want you to know that I think there are many students out there who absolutely adore their teachers and remember each one of them and how they touched their lives (maybe not boy students! ha ha). I was one of those students and I can still picture all of my wonderful teachers. There are a few of us!

I'm so glad I did because I loved reading about this area of your life. You can tell that you pour your heart into these kiddos, even if they are smelly. :-) Love, love, love the quilt analogy and now when my daughter and I listen to her animal CD in the car and the song "Old Grey Mare" comes on I will think of you! You'll like knowing that, right? :-)<br />VanessaVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04949511007392841016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-36687555385022830912011-03-31T15:04:45.675-04:002011-03-31T15:04:45.675-04:00I don't know how you manage in an unventilated...I don't know how you manage in an unventilated room but I'm sure you do it with humour aplenty!

Okay, not every day, but some days! Congrats on being all done!!! <br /><br />I was cringing just thinking of your unventilated room full of little stinky boys, especially after recess or P.E. Boys smell like wet dogs after 10 seconds of exercise, which could consist of as little as walking across the yard and back.
