Recap
Work was cool yesterday....sort of exhausting, but a lot of fun.
Highlights:
**The little boy who had never been away from his great-grandparents who kept saying "I want my mommy" every time we asked him a question.
**The little girl who started crying during her nap -- I taught her breathing exercises. Later, I would realize how ridiculous this was, even though it worked, dammit! It worked!
**The boy in first grade who speaks NO English! But he speaks Spanish like we're all supposed to know it and GOSH we're stupid if we can't understand him.
**Running into one of my classmates from high school (she actually spoke to me! lol). Her daughter is in one of the Kindergarten classes.
All in all a great day.
Gotta go....other stuff to do today -- peace!

It takes a special kind of person to allay the fears of first-day-of-school for these youngsters. You have two special gifts (writer & educator). Use them is special ways to make life better. Shem hotep my brother and my frat!
