    I'm sad to hear that it is, indeed, cancer. Hopefully they got it all though. May she have a swift and full recovery.

    Catrin, sending good thoughts your way, Hope they are watching for blood clots, etc. Will they send her to rehab facility for a bit? They took part of my mother's lung out from cancer and she healed wonderfully but her cancer was also in other areas of her body. They took my FIL entire lung but unfortunately we lost him to an undiagnosed blood clot when he was released from the hospital. I often wonder if the outcome would have been different if they had put him in rehab instead of sending him home.

    Dear Coworker,

    I know you are very frustrated by your class. But I am getting tired of you saying that you are always getting dumped on. As I recall, you asked to have that particularly tough group of students last year. And this year you volunteered to do an equally tough group. Given all the personal issues you have, I don't understand why you do this to yourself. And your group three years ago was not that bad.

    Seriously, I think it's time to do some soul searching and maybe it's time to get out of the profession. I know you think I get all the "good" kids. You know they didn't start out that way. And you have told me you could not put up with half a dozen of them.

    Dear Awesome 5th Graders,

    You made me so proud and laugh so hard yesterday as you worked to untangle the human knots. Your maturity about holding hands and your caring and teamwork were outstanding.

    I am thrilled (at the moment) to be your teacher.
