Pray for Bean

Today was one of those days where you feel that you are always running around but that you haven't accomplished anything! I started with a PTL meeting. My school is so blessed to have an amazing Parent Teacher League who are super dedicated to the school. The ladies are working hard to make sure that our school is the best it can be. Today we finalized the Country Fair carnival that takes over our campus. We have large "flying" swings, go-carts, super slides, petting zoos, and a variety of games and crafts. My favorite is the karaoke where I school the children on the classics like "These Boots Were Made for Walking" and "I Will Survive". I had to go to the dentist and my usual kind, gentle hygienist was replaced by a very amiable person but she could have given Jack the Ripper a run for his money. I left bruised and bleeding and ran back to school. I helped facilitate the annual CLCS flag football draft. The 8th graders are coach/managers and draft a team from a pool of 4th to 8th graders. It was a lot of fun but very time consuming. Since I have become principal I have learned a slew of other jobs: secretary, gardener, exterminator, traffic cop, IT specialist, and facilities manager. I know that this is part of God's plan, and I am so lucky that He has my back. I am doing so many things that I never was trained to or thought that I would do. I took Alex to soccer practice and then needed to step in and coach Christopher's soccer practice. When we got home Christopher was pale, clammy and crying. He is very sick and has a seal-like cough for the last two days. He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow and will not be going to school. Please give him some love and pray for his recovery. He does not get this sick very often, and it breaks my heart to see his heart shaped lips and beautiful full eyelashes set off by alabaster white skin as he sleeps off his fever. I have rambled on enough. May God bless you and keep you , may He make His face shine upon you and give you peace.
