Two Valentines

It's February break for me, which means no work this week. I love these breaks that aren't tied to major holidays so there's no pressure to do anything except exactly what I want. Gregg and I don't make a big deal over Valentine's Day, but I did get us Chinese takeout that night and a small (made for two) strawberry cheesecake. 

Here's something sweet I wanted to share. On Friday the kids at our school made Valentines for teachers and staff members and the PTO sorted them and passed them out. I didn't expect to get any, because as the bookkeeper/secretary I'm not really  working with students very often, if ever. But much to my surprise, I got two! 

The first is from Anson, one of the four kids I made friends with early on who still come by the office first thing every morning to say hi and give me hugs. The second is from a little girl who waits in the office for the nurse to arrive every morning (she takes daily medication) and likes to hang out with me. I taught her to read an analog clock (something kids are not able to do these days as a rule, which is insane to me) so that's why she thanked me for "teaching her time". I was really touched to get these two little Valentines!
