T is for Teary Tuesday

As I've said before, it's usually either a Terrible Tuesday or a Terrific Tuesday...but it's rare I have a Teary Tuesday!

Stella was absent when I took attendance this morning. That isn't what made me teary.

She showed up at 10:00 with a tardy slip. That's not what made me teary either.

 I didn't blog about it because I was really upset about it on Friday, but Stella really hurt my feelings. She said something very unkind to me and I told her that I need some time to feel warm and fuzzy about her again. I told her that I still love her, but I really don't like the choices she makes and the words she lets out of her mouth. She told me she has no feelings.

So yeah, I was a little raw over Stella.

She showed up at 10:00 with her dirty hair and the same outfit she probably wore the whole weekend and I just instantly forgave her. She had her trademark Stella look on her face and handed me a pink pencil pouch. Inside was this:

It contained: 2 pictures with lots and lots of glued on stars, a little poem book, a bag full of jewels, warm fuzzies, dragon tattoos, and a stick of gum.

This picture looks exactly like me.

She then said the most important part was the letter. It was in an envelope with my favorite thing on it. Oh, and I could take off the ladybug and "put it wherever I want like my bathroom mirror or my car window."

Inside was this:

For those of you who don't read "7 year old", this is what it says:
Dear Ms. Buckler,
Me and myself are giving you a little present. I know I can be a little mean but sometimes I am nice. But I am not a cold prickly right now. I am being a warm fuzzy!!!

P.S. I love you.
Love, Stella

Cue the tears! Tears and a bear hug to Stella! I said, "Stella, I really do love you. Especially when you are being a warm fuzzy, but even when you forget."

She said, "I will try to get better."

Oh Stella! How you make this crazy, crazy job worth it!

 Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone!
