I forgot...

Well...

There's a lot going through my head right now. It's mostly just random ideas and bits if information. It's going to take a little while before it all congeals into some truly expressable thing but I'd rather write it down now while it's fresh then after the effect has worn off.

My kids left just a few minutes ago. They were here for four days and three nights. For most part, all of these kids in this group were good. Mine, however, were amazing. I was so blessed with these children. Were they angels? Are you kidding? Of course not! They ARE twelve years old! However, they did listen, they did try, they did have fun and so did I.

The whole time, we laughed, we hiked, we learned.

So today after lunch we gathered the whole school together for a large debreif, a recap of what we'd done, learned etc... Larry, my boss, said that we (the staff) were teaching and working all week long. Now, I'm sure a lot of you are thinking "DUH!".

But me?

I thought, "Wait! I was teaching! Whoa!" It literally had slipped my mind that I was teaching. It slipped my mind that I was working at all.

It was a little disconserting. But I am so thankful for it.

I can't make it clearer. Yet...
