I took yesterday off for the Jewish New Year.  I came back and had to deal with my students who chose to give the guest teacher a hard time.  UGH!  I gave them a very “paineful” experience today.  I was so busy today, I forgot to put my make up on!  So hopefully, they’re behavior will be better the next time I have a substitute teacher.

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve seen your pretty faces.  I know you must both be so beautiful now and so amazing. It doesn’t matter if you can/can’t wear make up either.  Remember, I loved you WAY before you were able to wear make up.

One of you is all grown up – an adult woman.  The other is getting ready to take her driver’s test.  How exciting! Focus on being beautiful -inside.  Smile, laugh and stay around people who make both of those things easier to do.

I’m STILL here, rooting for you.  You are both “Amazing Just the Way You Are.” I don’t have to see you to know that.  🙂 Enjoy Bruno’s serenade.
