I love this

Good morning world!
The first day of term and the first day of teaching in quite a while for me and Margaret.
Who knows what's ahead?
Such anticipation!
Margaret and I answered The Call because we wanted to help and make a difference.
Don't forget, you make a difference too.....

Well, what a day that was!! I need to sit down.

This morning, the Head greeted me so warmly, even though he was still crying.

"We have 14 staff off, there are 119 answer phone messages from parents & the internet is down!" he gasped.

"I will do my very best to help, sir!"

He took my hand and shook it for 10 minutes.

"Remember, I'm here to help!" I said, as he used his other hand to take his inhaler.

I ended up taking all of Year 4. We cleared the allotment, tidied the library and served 276 meals.

Well, we've been overwhelmed with messages of support since joining Twitter. Everyone has been so very kind. We can't believe the lovely responses to our comments and the many offers of work.

I'm actually a little bit teary.
Just like the lovely Head I met yesterday.
