I need some sunshine!

Hey, It's Lori. This is my first blog. My friend Debbie has one and I thought it was a neat way to keep friends and family up to date on this crazy ride we call life. Also these young ones have "my space" and "face book" so I guess this leaves blogging for us not so young people;)
I have found myself to be a bit emotional this week and need an outlet. I figured my writing skills need improvement and I need a safe place to vent. LOL
That past year has been quite a roller coaster ride! Things have happened fast with lots of twists and turns but ended with feelings of relief and joy. Although it's all over...I find myself trying to catch up emotionally. My work doesn't help because I worry about all the kids I work with. Their stories are heartbreaking. Tell me...how do you bring a child into this world and not love it???? I need lots of money and a lot of land so I can just take them all in and show them what family is all about. Who am I kidding...they only know what they live and they love their family no matter what. I guess I'll just be their surrogate mom and try to share a smile with them.
Can someone say vacation? I need one! I'm only about 100 days away from sunny Florida. This is my motivation at this point. If I keep my eye on the "prize", I know I can make it through the rest of the school year.
Alright, I know I live in Ohio but this weather is really on my nerves! I can't remember the last time it was sunny. I liked it better when we had winter...in the winter. Remember when we would actually have a white Christmas? These white Easters just aren't gettin' it! Speaking of Easter...it is only a few weeks away and that not only means that we get to Celebrate Christ's life (which is the most important) but I also get a long break from work. Yea me!
OK...enough of my whining, I feel a little better.
Please leave me comments...then I know you care! LOL
