Oh my you work with my father? His mother has alzheimers and is an alcoholic yet he thinks she could go home if she keeps working. It is so sad!

V- I honestly don't know how you do it. I went through teaching certification and couldn't get hired in the area I wanted to live/work, now I am so thankful. I have a friend who teaches 8th grade (the area I was interested in) and I hear what she does day in and day out. I realize I am not a saint and I that you career teachers are. I hope the yoga and ice cream helped!
