the things that keep me going.

This week has been intense.
It's officially the end of the year of a job that has made an everlasting impact on my life.
This week  has consisted of everything from laughter, tears, crazy dance fiestas, some more laughter and tears...especially with my 2nd graders.

On our last day together as a class, we sat in a circle and shared our favorite memory of cool school. One by one our kids eyes filled up with tears and our chorus of sobs began for a good 30 minutes. 
And then some more cupcake, cheerful time.

In regards to the quote above, these kids have taught me this.

  3. Aww, what a sweet and emotional post. Lovely.

    It's funny how those tough-awesome-weepy-crazy laughing kinda times can grow you so much, though you want to avoid them like the plague, yeah?

    And hey, thanks for stopping by my place and saying hey. It's nice to meet you!
