oh so sleepy

I feel like I spend at least one day each weekend lately trying to catch up and just being plain ole lazy. NOT a good feeling and I can't keep doing it. I think that a call to my neuro is in order tomorrow.

Last weekend we had such an incredible time at MaSquerade. Deb, Chris, Johnnie, Aunt Sue and I really enjoyed getting all dolled up and going to support the cause. The Felder family certainly worked their tails off obtaining donations and more. Do you know that they had a signed helmet of every single SuperBowl MVP player ever!!?? With a starting bid of $6000 lets just say that sucker did not come home with anyone that I know. LOL. I did win a couple of raffles and one auction and all the while supporting the NMSS. I even danced if you can believe that.

Had a good week at school as my new group and I try to get into the groove and routine. We are getting there and they are a "good" group of sweeties. My Spanish is getting better and better as Karla's English continues to improve as well.

Josh is Josh........John works too long and KC is doing great. Can NOT ask for anymore than that and I will not.

Off to finish up the laundry.

a family asking for help

I read a post on our school internal this weekend. Several years ago, I had the joy of teaching an incredible boy named Efrain. He made SUCH progress in the year that I had him and I am always thrilled when he comes back to visit.

This is a kid who does the 5th grade dvd of memories for our entire elementary school each year, even now as nearly a high school student. he has never forgotten his elementary roots. So, it was with great sadness when i read that he reached out to our speech therapist this week with a phonecall telling her that they house had internally had a fire in it over the summer.

they lost about everything and mom also lost her job. they have nothing but the shell of the house and are still living in it.

it made me sad. it made me want to do SOMETHIGN anything for these people. It made me realize just HOW much we have in our lives that we take for granted each day............

I am going thru my closets, drawers, linen closets, toiletries and gift cards that I stash away for whenever.............
I am challenging each employee at my school to pitch in one dollar.....one dollar is nothing, yet if we all do it, we can help to feed this family for a week or more.

I challenge you all as well. Do something, anything, please to help someone that might be less fortunate than u r..........email me if you would like more info or simply put one dollar(or more) in an evelope and mail it to:

Efrain Rivera, 10117 Timber Oaks, Ct. Tampa, 33615

Thanks to all of the bloggers out there. Help with anything ..........
