Jaida's 5th Grade Program

Dear Jaida, can you see yourself in this picture? You're the third one in from the right. Cool and terrible picture I know, it's the best one I have.  Great job at your program, you sang like a pro and really looked enthusiastic singing, "America Rocks!" (insert sarcasm) You have one of the best teachers ever and are having a great year!

You have been sick since Friday and today stayed home from school. When you're throat was hurting you so bad you told me you could also feel that it was bleeding. Today you said that when you get a sore throat you get slits up at the top. You couldn't even move this morning so I took you to the doctor and he said you had a viral infection and just had to push through it.  It was great because as soon as you knew that it was nothing serious you became a lot more lively. Isn't it good/bad what our minds can do?
