The Third Day is a Charm

The third day following chemo is like venturing into an unknown territory. The 3 day regimen of steroids is over, one's energy level begins to drop, and the joints begin to ache. During the steroid time I try to accomplish as much as possible. Sunday, worked in the classroom following Mass from 11:00 - 7:00! Lesson plans done, new calendar, homework packet, etc. Normally, (if there is anything normal about all this) my third day falls on Sunday - so it is my day of rest. However, due to change in infusion to Monday - Thursday was my day of rest!

Yesterday I could not keep my eyes open. I slept most of the day. Thank you Mary H. and Katie F. taking over in the classroom! Next infusion during Christmas break! Thank goodness!

The Kindergarten students came up with some great suggestions on how to keep "Peace" in our classroom.

1. be kind
2. PRAY
3. listen
4. share
5. follow the rules (grown ups have to follow laws)
6. be quiet
7. be a good student
8. no fighting
9. go to Mass
10. respect
11. good manners
12. smile
13. sing
14. LOVE
15. love your family

Well, I once read "All You Need to Know You Learn in Kindergarten!" Open your ears world! It is not that simple - yet, it is not that difficult!

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and stop keeping them away, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these." Matthew 19:14
