Sentiments from the A.D.D Council...

Hi. My name is Elizabeth Davis, and I'd like to publicly confess that I am severely A.D. SQUIRREL! D. You get the picture. *If not, and you are completely clueless, see picture below for a better idea. 

Yep. that pretty much sums up the events of my life as of late. Or rather, the nonsequence thereof. :) Whichever. 

Anywhoo. And, yes, I just changed fonts mid-post. Because: 1) I can. 2) I'm A.D.D. 3) Since graduation, I have acquired a menace for Times New Roman. 

*the above sentence was an unashamedly unsneaky endeavor on my part to try and remember what I was supposed to be posting...

Last week found me volunteering at a local youth camp. Outside. In a heat index of 110*. I was convinced it was the end of life as I once knew it; but alas, I did conquer and manage to have quite a bit of fun in the process. It did accomplish a few other purposes, however, which I will now so kindly share.

1) it gave me a great appreciation for youth camp personnel/leaders.

Those people are crazy, wonderful, dedicated,

and exhausted. Kudos! 

2) I now have a much greater understanding (I think) of

the lives and actions of kids ages 12-16. (This

was of interest to me since I will be teaching

that age group frequently this fall in 

music, choir, and 7-8th

grade classes.

Those kids are tough, and have to put up with 

way more than necessary. 

Teachers, respond with grace. 

Parents, love them. 

3) You and I have been there too, howbeit a few years ago. 

And, odds are, we (ok. I) probably acted 

'that' way then also. 

Show love, 

respect, 

and 

lots 

of

it.

I have some many more thoughts and exciting posts to share, but they will have to wait for another time due to technical difficulties. (my clock time keeps getting later and later.) :)

So long for now...
