I got some very sad news today.
I have this Muslim family at my school that I became very close to. It started the day after 9/11 when I saw this women standing at the front door of my school just silently crying (yes, she wears a veil etc.) I went and ask her if I could help help, and as her tears turned to soft sobs, she told me that the school bus driver drove up to her house, glared at them as they were walking to it, then tore off without picking up her child. Well, that really ticked me off cause no one, and I mean NO ONE who has any kind of prejudges needs to be in a school setting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took her into the office to speak to the principal, and our friendship was born. Over the years, she has had 3 of the most wonderful children that walks this earth come to our school and I had the privilege to work with all of them. They have shared their Faith, their home, and most importantly, their love and friendship with me. This summer they made their way back to Egypt to visit their family. While there, the dad had a heart attack and died. I am happy that he was in his homeland if this terrible thing had to happen, but so very heartbroken for the kids and Fatima! Please keep my dear, dear friends in your prayers! |

Good morning everyone. It is cloudy but nice out. Got to make a list to go grocery shopping. My least favorite job! They are having a great sale this week at our local market. Save Save Save. I think I need new pillows. I keep waking up with a headache. Okay I am off to shower, dress, grocery shop (oh I can't wait) RIGHT! Talk to all of you wonderful people later today sometime. Hope more people join in the fun of our little family. Hugs all around.

Welcome aboard! You will love it here. We are like a family here.
I have been such a lazy bum since around 2 p.m. Laying on the couch and watching Veronica Mars. I have the entire show on DVD. Also, I am a HUGE Gilmore Girls fan. Everybody have a wonderful evening and a great weekend. Hugs to everyone of you! |
