Giving thanks

I am a mother of four children under the age of ten. I am a career woman who leads a school of 500. I am a wife who has so much less time than I once had. I am a realist. I have spent so much of this year in turmoil, in disappointment, in fear, in doctor's offices, completing paperwork, changing diapers, giving baths, correcting children (mine and not mine).

But I look at my life with hollaring children, deadlines, schedules, appointments, and I think...Thanks be to God. Thank you for all you have given me. Thank you for allowing me to learn through these children. Thank you for letting me keep my humor. I think I am the only school administrator who regularly dances and sings in her office. I work in a HIGH SCHOOL so this is NOT considered cool. Thank you for movie time, tiny kisses, big eyes, great accents, incredible responsibility and such a sense of purpose. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
