Valentine's Day Love

On Valentine's Day I had conferences until 8, one of the longest days of the school year, and the second longest time I've been away from Flynne. I know, I should be very grateful that I have a job where I see my child more than others get to see their own. It's still hard.

Conferences are kind of a joke sometimes, parents don't schedule times & it's a first-come first-serve style. Being a middle school teacher I hardly ever have any parents, which makes it even harder to sit in my classroom from 2 to 8. My fellow teacher and I have great plans of completing progress reports, paperwork, etc. during this time, however it NEVER happens. We share a classroom and have become very good at distracting each other, always. And maybe a bit of her procrastination has rubbed off on me, nevertheless, I don't know how I'd get through some days without her!

Sometimes we like to distract other teachers too, and on this night we had too much fun making our husbands Valentine's Day cards, chatting, & having probably more fun than some of the other teachers would prefer. We don't care though, it helps is get through, and what's wrong with having some fun on the job!

While I was chatting it up in another classroom, I was surprised by a parent in the hallway, who also works at Annette's Victorian Garden, with a beautiful arrangement of flowers from Billy & Flynne! What a pleasant surprise! They were & still are gorgeous! I'm truly blessed by my thoughtful husband, & best friend.

I feel like I'm blessed in so many aspects of my life, and on this day & always, I appreciate my best friends at school, my husband, Flynne & family!
