Back to the grindstone

Well today was my first day back at work. The morning went be pretty quick. It was so nice to see the kids, I got lots of hugs and smiles and kids telling me that they missed me. It was way cute and made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Before I left, I made some bracelets and gave them to a bunch of the girls to wear as anklets... of course they had to show me that they were still wearing them, and of course I had to show them that I still have mine on too!

The afternoon went well too. I felt really comfortable back in the club. Any fear that I had about not knowing the kids or them not knowing me or not respecting me because I was new vanished. It was almost like I never left. Two of the little kinders said that they missed me and that they were glad I was back. :o) Hee.. hee.. I think the highlight was when Heidi shared at announcements that I was back and everyone cheered, and it wasn't that sarcastic cheer that you would think... they actually missed me! Yay! I'm on cloud nine, but I'm sure it will wear off by the end of the week.

While I was gone they also tracked me on a bulletin board. There's a map of Ireland and the States. They have little pegs everywhere I went as well as clippings of emails I sent Heidi. (Not all of it was appropriate). They even pinned up the postcard I sent them. It was great! Weird how a job can actually make you feel warranted and wanted. Hmmmm... go figure. That's it for now. Hopefully I'll have pictures to share soon. As of now they are all sitting in New England! Eck? :o)

PS I HATE the new hotmail! Why ya gotta change what we're used to?

We can take the mysterious,wow gold hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.   wow gold We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, wow gold we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, wow gold we harvest nothing at all.  wow gold I want the future to be better than the past.wow gold I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. wow gold We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.  wow gold The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it.wow gold The future is before us and dynamic. wow gold Everything we do will effect it.

I never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "you are a miracle." To me, I was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams.dofus kamas I was a 19-year-old student at the University of Texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an 1)orthopedic surgeon.  kamas dofus On the night of February 17, 1981 I was studying for an 2)Organic Chemistry test at the library with Sharon, my girlfriend of three years.Lord of the Rings Online Gold Sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late.LOTRO Gold We got into my car,

One of the criminals immediately 5)shoved a .38 6)caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head - execution style. He obviously thought I was dead because he did not shoot me again. The 7) trio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.  Meanwhile, Sharon wondered why I had not returned. After seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as I was the last person she saw entering the store.

However, he quickly informed my family and Sharon   that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. If this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if I 13)beat the odds and survived. He said I probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.   My family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor.
