Time for rest...

I woke up at 8 am for the first time in a long time today. I actually got to sit with my huge cup of coffee and sip it slowly while watching the morning shows. This is what it feels like to be on break and I love it! How needed it was!

Update (because some have asked): The kids loved their lunchbags, but I think their parents were more impressed than they were. A handful brought them to school yesterday with their lunch or snack in them. They were so cute!

One of the perks of this job (other than a summer off) is the Christmas gifts. Yesterday I received a plethora of gift cards (the best being $50 to the mall), stationary, Carolina picture frame, and tons of candy. Most of all I got the sweetest letters about how much they love me. When you get so frustrated with them, it is time like this that remind you that you are making a difference.

So now its time to prepare for Christmas! We're leaving for RM today to be my family until Christmas day then will travel to Boone to be with J's family. I love Christmas! I love the traditions, the time with family, the music, the sights, the sounds....and well the presents too!

If I don't post again, I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas!
