What a Pleasant Surprise!

The past couple of weeks have been crazy at work. So much has been going on with testing, computers, trying to weed out projects that I have been trying to get to all year, state testing, teachers needing pictures for cum files, Mothers Day projects, and special class projects, getting totals on curriculum we need for next year, ect.
Last week was Teacher Appreciation week and we had a delicious lunch and later a terrific Carmel Apple. That was wonderful.
Friday was DROP EVERYTHING AND READ Day! I had at least 6 projects that needed to be done NOW, plus checking out books constantly. The students loved the day. I love how much they read but by the afternoon I was exhausted and worked through lunch.
Our Principal brought in this huge box from a florist. She didn't really say anything about where it came from and I thought, "Wow the district is getting really fancy with their appreciation." Especially when there is no money. I opened up the box and their were these gorgeous roses inside. I took out the vase and was interrupted. I never had another minute to do anything else with it.
When I got it at home I put the flowers in the vase and loved all of the beautiful rose colors. Each color had a special memory I could think of when growing up. They are wonderful. I looked further in the box and found a box of chocolates. Doug and I had to try them and they are delicious! All the time I'm thinking I need to thank Lora, the District, someone. About an hour later, I remembered there was something I thought looked like a CD on the box lid, or a fancy invoice. When I looked again it was a very sweet Mother's Day card from Janessa, Heather, and Jared. Thank you so much!!!
I'm so glad I didn't throw the box away without seeing that card. It was a very pleasant, beautiful surprise at the end of a very, very busy wild day. Thank you so much
