Hi, Nothing exciting going on. Read my Myspace blog. I have been enjoying work and not enjoying work. So many sad children, out of control, and starving for attention. This is a whole different generation. Children with parents that just do not care about them. Like I have said before, I hate hearing any of the children say, " I did this at my Dad's house, and I went here, when I went to my Mom's house." YUCK! These poor scattered kids. They don't have a real HOME. We have a little boy we have to make a behavioral plan on. Oh this poor kid. He is the youngest of 4. He screams, drops to the floor, hides, cries, and is just plain defiant. But I love him so much. I feel sorry for him and what ever is making him so mad. We have two other kids in my class that are brothers. They come to school dirty, smelly, no underwear on, filthy feet because of no socks. They live in a nice place. With two bath tubs. The mom tells me "We just don't have the money for extras, like socks and shoes. " Extras? BUT.....Guess who smokes? MOM. I am sick of the excuses. We even send kids home in new socks, clothes that are clean, we buy shoes, they get lost somehow. I love these kids and my heart just is so sad for how they have to live. God just tells me..."Gail, just love them." So I do. We sing a song everyday about how special each one of them is, and we end by hugging ourselves. And I get hugs all day long. It's wonderful. Chaotic sometimes, but we keep going. I just wish parents would either get spayed and neutered, or take care of the awesome kids that God blessed them with. Love and discipline, love and more love and listening to their kids, and loving each other.
The End.
So that's my life these days. Bob is still gone, and may be for 2 more mns! They want him to stay on as a house tech. Sometimes I just wish he had a regular job here. It's been 58 days apart so far. So I say.......... Bye Thanksgiving, bye Christmas. I wanted to fly out to IL. but that doesn't seem like it will happen. :( Bob may be home for Thanksgiving. Who knows? What God has planned, will happen.
I made my co workers laugh their heads off yesterday. I showed them what I did way back in the late 80's. I auditioned for 'America's Funniest People', and I put a leg of a pantyhose over my head and pulled it up and down and up and down. Well my face was so contorted, you just had to laugh. I looked so funny. But anyone, not just me, would look funny like that. My co-worker had to pee, she was laughing so hard. It was very funny. Oh I am just the life of the party. Ha ha.
So that is all for now. I love Fall. Crispy leaves and the smell of someone who has their fireplace burning. Love it. Tomorrow I go to a Birthday party for one of the cuties in my class. It will be fun.. Until next time...Say your prayers everyday...............................................................Peace

Great post, Gail. I just ache for kids going through so much. I don't think we ever really appreciated how great it was that mom and dada always stayed married. It was too easy to make fun of some of their wackiness, but really, it is so wonderful and we were so lucky for all those years. I have to remind myself that God sees the bigger picture and He is the Daddy of those sweet innocents. Love you and Happy Thanksgiving. Barb
