They have no idea what they do to you when they do that kind of stuff to you. My heart goes out to you. What State are you in? I hope you spend the weekend crafting and say the heck to the district. When you move and get in your classroom breath, try to stay clam, and don't rush. It is better for your health.<br />Sending Hugs,<br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491489001439344916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255590496105951638.post-57685862712395598082012-09-08T06:59:34.415-04:002012-09-08T06:59:34.415-04:00(((HUGS))) Lesley!
