A3: I’m thankful that I get to see how smart high schoolers are everyday.
I’m also hopeful that spending time around HS students will make me better able to “get” my own kids when they hit the teen years. #wishfulthinking #oklaed

A4: I listen to @OklaSaid every wk, @ebarnes73 & @TeachFromHere, since 4 small kids don't allow for many #oklaed chats in real time. I also semi-stalk @mrjoshflores and @MrsSearcy112, but they already know that. 🙂

A8) my favorite was thanksgiving 2008. My mom and I hit all the sales on Black Friday shopping like crazy for my two year old little boys. I had no idea she would never get to see them open their gifts that year. I miss the little things like a mom to shop with. #oklaed https://t.co/jggefRMeyS
