Today is Friday and it comes with mixed emotions. I have the typical, "thank goodness the weekend is almost here" feeling and I am saddened because my week of teaching is almost over. But God has blesssed me with the strength and opportunity to be able to work, even if it has only been a week, and for that I am so thankful!
It has been truly amazing to be back in the classroom! Teaching is something that I love to do and this week is no exception. It has been so rewarding to be back doing "normal" activities. It almost makes me forget what the last three months have been filled with...almost.
My students have been wonderful. The group of kids that I have in each class seems like it is a good mix. They all seem to get along with each other. They have been good about following directions and doing homework. I know it is only the second week of school and that will probably change a bit in the weeks to come, but for now, I'll take it!
Of course I have packed in as much as I possibly can to this week. I had open house Tuesday night, so that was a long day. I had a mentor meeting after school on Wednesday, which made it an other long day. Needless to say, I was tired Wednesday night. Thursday morning was a staff meeting, at which I was honored with the "faculty fish of the month" award. Basically, just a teacher of the month award. The previous month's award winner picks who the award goes to and I was the lucky one to receive the fish picture to display this month. She wrote a little blurb about why she chose me and it was so touching.
I am truly looking forward to my next week of teaching, and more importantly, being back in the classroom for good! Treatments are winding down and I will be there before I know it!

Sheri- I am so proud of you. Your strength is so admirable and your spirit is truly that of divine work. Keep up the fight girl!
Love you- Jen
Sheri, it was so great to have you back with us this week! You are amazing and such an inspiration.
We told you we'd whip our kids into shape quick for your
return:-) They are a great group and they'll be thinking and praying for your health as well as the rest of us. Take care of yourself these next two weeks and we'll all see you soon!
Here's a little Irish prayer for you:
Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.
SHERI this week was the best becuase i knew you were there and feeling normal. everyone loved knowing you were in the building. i'm glad i got to give you thef aculty fish of the month. i was going to add some of my own stuff, but iw as scared i would either cry or make you cry.
i heart you... next week just won't be the same!
Sheri,
It is very clear to see just how many people care for you and love you and are praying for you.
I recently heard this saying:
Friendship is like peeing in your pants...everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.
I thought it was appropriate coming from me. So many good memories...here's to the next 27!
Love you!
