pretty, wheelchair and oreos

So, I'm feeling much better, almost back to old myself. We tried school this week, only made 3 1/2 days because of wheelchair repairs and a funeral. But after 3 weeks away that's a start. Surprisingly Grace isn't too far behind. Has some tests to make up, some reading to finish and that's about it. She didn't miss any huge projects.
Not sure if you remember, but she works in a kindergarten class, and those little ones probably gave up on her ever returning. On the day she went back we had the appointment for the wheelchair repair, so instead of driving in the opposite direction to attend 1/2 a class at the high school, she just spent the extra time in the k class. As we got to the school the kindergartners were lining up to return to their class after recess. They were sssssooooooo excited to see Grace !! They call her Miss Gracie, and I think they were all yelling "Miss Gracie's back!!!"  She worked with them in their writing journals and several wrote about her. I think her favorite was written by a little guy who wrote. " I love Miss Gracie, because she's pretty, rides a wheelchair and loves oreos."  Nothing like a little kindergarten love to make you glad you're back at it again !!
