WOW!!!

What a week! I've never been so emotionally drained. It all started last week, with the request for a special board meeting and then preparing for it. I feel like I would make a pretty darn good reporter after all of the investigating I've done. I also think that I am going to just enjoy my children this weekend, b/c I have neglected them this week.
No details, but we felt very prepared for the meeting and hope the board was receptive. KTVO put it on the news which was interesting. I guess now the word is out and there is no turning back.
This week was VBS at my church. I feel like I haven't helped with it at all...oh wait, I haven't. I'm going to ride the bus to I-MO tomorrow which will somewhat make up for all of my absences this week. Colby had a game tonight and they did so great! We are very proud of their hitting progress and Colby is individually figuring out when to tag the base and when to throw the ball. I am proud of him b/c I still don't know when! Our third inning, EVERY kid got a hit. That is such a great feeling.
Yesterday, Miss Jenn aka...my sister, came into "my room" where I'm teaching 3rd grade summer school. She wanted me to go to the lunchroom and check on Bronson, he was crying. Bronson-cry...no way. Sure enough, there he sat with big tears running down his cheeks and he jumped in my arms when I walked in. A good feeling, but I hated that he was sad. He wanted his Da. I said that Da could get him off the bus, he thought that would be o.k. Needless to say, the tears would not stop and I told Bree I couldn't leave him there, so I brought him to her when I left at noon. I guess he wasn't ready, but I'm glad I could be there for him.
Speaking of being there for Bronson, I am also glad that I can be there for my kids too. That is why NO ONE will push me out of MY school. I was born in Schuyler County, went to school here, and got my first teaching job here. Now I am raising my children here, and I will remain here. I can OUTLAST anyone! Maybe we should get a motto...OUTLAST, OUT STAND, OUT THINK???!!! What do you think?
I'm pretty sure this blog does not make sense, b/c I'm rambling...sorry. I appreciate everyone keeping me and my colleagues in their prayers/thoughts last night. We will need continued support throughout next month. The next board meeting is June 19th if anyone wants to show their concern/support by being there!

It sounds like you have been busy. I hope things go how they should for the school. I had to go check out the story at KTVO but it didn't state much. Doesn't sound good though.
