Thank you Danielle, I fear a dose of cabin fever creeping up on me it feels so long since I had the time to really appreciate the great outdoors in all its fabulous glory... I pray hard for a few hours of liberty but I fear my prayers are blown into the void. Maybe this weekend will be different?

I must ask, do you teach children too? I am a hopeless teacher, I fail in so many respects to be disciplinary believing life is too short. What is the point, when the years of our youth pass so quickly, of being too harsh on them? Hence, there is much laughter when I am present because I am powerless to stop their and my enjoyment! I am reprimanded often and would surely be 'let go' if the contract laws weren't so strict here! thank goodness for small mercies!
I TOTALLY understand the cabin fever thing. I get crazy when I can't be outdoors. Its an addiction for me, but the best kind. I am looking forward to this weekend, also, so I can get outside. The weather has been blazing hot in the Pacific Northwest these last few days and it is unbearable.
I do teach children. I work in an elementary school in Special Education - mostly students with autism. I am kind of a behavior specialist. I can work with kids from kindergarten up to 6th grade, depending on the need for me each year. It is beautiful work and I am honored to serve that population of students and their families.
Every chance I get, I like to be silly with the kids and do unexpected things. I LOVE hanging upside down on the monkey bars at recess because this confuses students. They always say something like wait...you can't do that cuz you're an adult or something equally silly, but then at the end they ask, can you teach me how? LOL
I'll say my prayers you get a chance to be outdoors. Enjoy yourself!! XO
Danielle, firstly my apologies for such a very late reply, its been quite a week!
Would you believe, if I were to describe my work, this is what I would write;

We have exactly the same job, differing only by the country we live in!
I have a similar attitude to you, I try to make them laugh and smile, I teach them odd facts about nature and life they would never be taught in class 5and Im often in trouble with the hierarchy for it) I run and play with them, any game they want and if there were bars to hang on,I would undoubtedly do that too - at least Id try! Its over 45 years since I hung upside down on bars!
I always feel humbled by the honour of teaching these kids too!
Namaste my friend - may your weekend be filled with natures calm ready for Monday! xox
Holy moly, Susie! What are the chances? Whoa. Truly wonderful and bizarre in all the best ways!!! Glad to know we have yet another tether that binds us together in this big Universe!
I tend to get grouped with the littles because I am a big hugger, and it is still appropriate to hug and love on the littles. But, I love on the staff, too.
Thank you. I pray that you get some time to refill your bucket outdoors before Monday. XO
