A conversation with my daughter a few weeks ago began with the opening statement of “I told everyone not to tell you so I could surprise you, but I just know that I’m going to blow the surprise myself, so I’m just letting you know right now that I’m coming home for Mother’s Day.”

Happy Mother's Day

"A woman who respects the Lord should be praised." Proverbs 31:30

One thing that I enjoy is hearing and telling a good story! As a principal, I can tell you that my days are filled with treasured moments where the students of our school say or do things that are absolutely priceless. However, I also have the privilege of hearing hilarious stories from parents regarding situations that occur in the home environment as well.
