Soccer Game and Reiki

Yesterday Maya and I played a game of keep away soccer. She is pretty darn good! I loved our laughter and connection. And it was quite the workout for this girl who hasn't exercised regularly all winter!

Brooke was sick with a 101 degree fever yesterday. I took her to the doctor's office and she was diagnosed with a virus. The doctor said that she would be feeling bad for a few days and to keep her home from activities. Yesterday, she rested and drank water all day and I did a Reiki treatment on her. This morning she woke up feeling much better! Almost back to her normal bubbly self. A true testament to rest and Reiki!

Trampoline Fun

I can't believe how much I felt like a little girl today as I jumped on the trampoline with Maya and Brooke. We played lots of jumping games while singing, dancing, and laughing our heads off! I hope to always remember how much they loved having me play with them and how much fun I had listening to their laughter.  :)

Finally A Run

After a long day, I am so glad to have persuaded myself to go for a short run. I need to continue to remember self-care in all this craziness.

Day of Rest and Smooth Sailing

Sunday, April 6th:  Today I spent the day sleeping on the couch and watching TV. It is not like me to take a whole weekend day to rest. I am grateful that I listened to my body and gave it what it needed.

Monday, April 7th:  So grateful for a smooth transition back into the classroom with my co-worker. Lots going on at work and so this smooth day was so special. Holding the intention that it will be this way for the rest of the school year.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday

Thursday, April 3rd: Sweet letter from my pen pal......one of my second grade students!

Friday, April 4th:  I love that we got to spend the evening with some very dear friends. No matter what might happen at school for the rest of the year, I am so very grateful for the friendships we have made there!

Saturday, April 5th:  I love that my daughters have such amazing friends. Tonight Maya is having a sleepover party with her best friends. I have had the pleasure of teaching each one of them and watching them grow from the 3 and 4 year olds into the 8, 9, and 10 year olds they are. So very sweet!

Trampoline Time

15 minutes on the trampoline with my girls = lots of giggles, some good exercise, and touching base with my inner 10 year old!

Spring is Here!

Monday, March 31: So very grateful to have some warmer weather. It was supposed to be our spring break this week but because of snow days, we needed to make up the days. We decided to make it a lighter week and so we have been doing crafts and double recess in the afternoons.

Tuesday, April 1: Today sitting under the warm sun, I felt so grateful to know that life moves on. I am so ready to move onto the next chapter of my life (and I know that I still have some lessons to learn before I get there). I pray for an easy learning and a swift transition!
