Today I am having a hard time trying to find something to be grateful for, and I guess that is exactly when I need to be grateful...now let me explain this first line. Yesterday Riley came home from school very upset because he said an older girl came up to him while he was on the swings at recess, he was also saving one for a friend - I guess he had been waiting for the swings to be free for awhile. He told me she got mad at him and told him to get off then she went to get a "guard" (as he called the lunch lady), that older lady was very mean and told him to get off now! So he was just bawling and sobbing saying he was not doing anything wrong just waited his turn then got into trouble and now he says he never wants to go back, I had to be so strong for him and not break down myself because there is nothing worse then seeing your child so hurt and upset. I know this all sounds crazy and why can't I be grateful, but I am just upset - he had a rough beginning of the year last year in kindergarten due to a bully so I just really wanted him to have a great experience this year and am frustrated with the lady that she did not take the time to talk to each of them to solve the problem before just yelling. I know kid's will run into things here and there but my heart has just been ripped open.
Okay so here I go... I am thankful for teachers and those who work in the schools, they don't get paid enough for all their hard work and efforts. I truly appreciate all those who have ever taught my children it is a huge responsibility but one that is the most rewarding. Thank you to all those who teach!

Poor Riley. I think that guard did two things wrong: 1. she was rude to Riley and should have handled it better; 2. she taught the older girl that being a bully and a tattle-tail are ok.
Kid's can be so mean. I hope he has a better day at school today!
I am also grateful for teachers they have the patience that I lack.
Brittany, I love the pictures. What a cute fam! That bites about Riley, I know how you feel though being a mother, your heart just aches for them. I am sorry, I will go find the aide and drop kick her for you. Yeah, I am thankful for teachers too...
Poor Riley! I hate hearing things like this. Hopefully he will have a better day today.
