Sad Christmas

Instead of lavishing gifts on our family and friends, things they don't really need or want, give to someone really in need.
Love to all of you and Merry Christmas.

We give our children life, they give us lanyards

Sad, Angry and a Bit Defeated

The "Governator" signed the California state budget and has made massive cuts to child care programs for low income families. Balancing the budget on the backs of children and those with little means is not the American way. What is happening to this country? Prisons get all the money they need, while education at all levels is being cut to the bone.

Fall

How exciting the last week has been. I have a new office and our ECE classroom has also moved to the recently renovated Nursing building. I have two new groups of students, who are lovely and excited to begin this journey. Everything is wonderful. I still have a stack of books on my nightstand and am enjoying "Tall Grass" by Sandra Dallas. Belated happy birthday to my dear Cassandra, miss you girl.
