Holiday buddy thread
@lovingBanana5204 Hi there! I hope you are having a great day! I made this thread as a place for us to communicate. What do you think?
@SadMe70
So happy to see the holiday buddy program going so well! ^-^ I hope you and your buddy connect soon. 
@SadMe70 This is great, thank you for making this thread! :) I hope your day is going well. How are your holidays?
@lovingBanana5204 Hi! I have made some other posts below but I'm not sure I am tagging you right because parts of it are not blue. I thought I'd try replying to your post and see if it looks different that way! I hope things are going well for you! I'm adjusting to being back at work after a week and a half of vacation!
@SadMe70 I think something worked... I got the notification for this thread at least!
Hello! My holidays are going well. I spent Christmas day with my husband and our 2 sons. On Wed of this week my younger son and I went to visit my parents. Dad was in the hospital but came home today. One of my sisters came here today and the other is coming tomorrow so we can all be together for a day. I am going home on Sunday. How are yours going?
@lovingBanana5204 I am home from visiting my family. Today I'll be catching up around the house and getting ready to go back to work tomorrow! How are you?
@lovingBanana5204 Hello! I hope you had a great day!
@SadMe70 That sounds like some really nice time with your family! :) How is it being back at work?
I've had a lot of stress around school this week, and my mom and I aren't getting along well (again). Oh well. I'm doing the school musical, which is not the sort of things I normally do, and it's much more fun than I expected...so that's good at least! :)
We also got a ton of snow yesterday. 
@lovingBanana5204 Hi! The first week back was good. Only a 4 day week! We got snow too, but only about 4 inches. The roads are icy though, so they cancelled school for tomorrow. I work at a school so I've got the day off tomorrow! I was only expecting a delay, so it was a nice surprise. I think I can handle another 4-day week :)
I'm sorry to hear you aren't getting along well with your mom. I hope things will improve for you! It's great that you've found something new that you like! What is the musical? What part do you have? Later this month I am going with the kindergarten classes at my school to our high school's play.
@SadMe70 That's great! Ooh snow days are wonderful, especially when you're not expecting them! :)
Thanks, I hope so, too. It's a little better now...
Yeah! The musical is Pippin and I'm in the ensemble (don't have a real part). It's kind of a weird story but still fun.
Awesome, that sounds fun! What musical are they doing? Do you teach kindergarteners?
@SadMe70
I came across these beautiful pictures of Abraham Lake, which is cool (no pun intended) because it has ice bubbles in it! And it's so pretty!
@SadMe70 Hope you're doing well 
@lovingBanana5204 I had not heard of Pippin but I just looked it up and it looks really interesting! I hope you are having fun! When are your performances? The show I am going to see at our high school next Friday is a play of Robin Hood. I am a paraeducator, which means I am not an actual licensed teacher. I work with small groups for reading or math instruction. It's only my second year doing it, but I like it a lot.
The lake pictures you sent are so beautiful! I love nature pictures! Do you live in Canada? I am in the US on the east coast.
@SadMe70 Yeah it's interesting! We haven't had any rehearsals this week because of midyears but it is fun. The performances are towards the end of March.
Cool! I'm glad you like your job so much!!
I love nature pictures too! I have a bunch of them for my desktop backgrounds on the computer. And nature in general. It's very calming and reasuring. No, I actually live in the US on the East Coast too!!
