Quote for the Week:

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go....
--Dr. Seuss, Oh the Places You'll Go

It's Almost Turkey Time!

The excitement is brewing...The air is filled with an intense longing...Yep, we are all thrilled that in just a few days we will have an entire week away from school.  Yes, teachers like breaks just as much as students do!  As I reflect upon activities my family will do next week, I want to do my best not to forget what the season is about.  Don't get me wrong, I love the food of Thanksgiving and the thrill of shopping for a deal on Black Friday, but I want to make sure I remember the blessings and the importance of family.  So, I plan to spend time next week hanging out with my precious grandmother.  The munchkins and I will also see a movie,  Then, the whole huge clan comes to our house for Thanksgiving dinner--all of my siblings and nieces and nephews and even great nephews!  Finally, I get to spend more time with my grandmother as we shop Friday morning.  We'll meet around 4:00 to shop then finish off with a Hardee's breakfast.  Loads of fun memories!

Here's your chance for some extra credit.  Tell me what your plans are for Thanksgiving break AND tell me what your favorite Thanksgiving food is.  Type a 4-5 sentence, well-written comment that addresses both parts.  Be sure to post your comment no later than Monday, November 19, by 4:00.
