February, the month of love. I’ve never really been into the holiday “Valentine’s Day”. I’ve felt like it was kind of a useless holiday along with “President’s Day” and “St. Patrick’s Day”. I’ve always felt like it was just another day for Target and Wal-Mart to make a few extra million dollars off of red and pink colored, heart printed, useless crap. I would also probably feel so much more festive if February was in the springtime. Winter always seems to leave me feeling a bit gloomy by the time February rolls around. It makes me realize that being an adult sucks- for the most part. Lucky for me, I don’t have to be an adult for 3 hours of the day. I get to re-live elementary school from 12:30-3:30 daily, and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me (probably). It gives me the opportunity to get away from the cold unforgiving worries of adult life, gives me reason to smile, and an excuse to play. But above all, I’ve learned to love. I’ve learned to genuinely care for others. I have 29 5-7 year old kids who I absolutely adore. I can’t imagine what it will be like to have my own someday; children are truly amazing. God answered my prayers, and sent me angels to get me through this cold winter. Valentine’s Day has never felt so special to me! I can’t wait to drop a little surprise in each child’s valentine box on that 14th day of February. I love them all so very much, and I love my amazing friends who get me through the coldest of winters! (even with Logan’s temperatures). Let’s make this Valentine’s Day more than just a day to hand out heart-shaped erasers… let’s remember those who we love, who make our lives warmer than a cinnamon heart ever could.
I love you! (and I mean it)
Ms. Holly
