Single Parenthood (and other recent happenings)

would be really challenging.  Plus points to any single parents out there who read my blog, which is no one that I know of.  But it is rough.  And how do I know?  Because this week I am house/teenage daughter sitting, and next week my mom goes back to the US, so I'll be watching Tommy and Dad. 

So what else has been happening with me...?  I have a tea corner in my classroom. Actually this whole little section included my computer and desk area and it's called "Ms Woodtopia," and no one is allowed to enter unless I invite them in for tea.

A few weekends ago, I went in search of a market with my friend Elizabeth.  We didn't find it.  Well, actually we did, but it closed 2 months ago.  But it was a beautiful day and we had fun exploring the outskirts of Moscow and talking.

So, overall, I'm doing well.  I have a classroom full of amazing individuals who probably teach me more than I teach them.  I am very thankful for my job and all of my friends here who listen to me go on and on about the children.

Time for dinner :-)
