Moving on to ABU Dhabi
Today I was offered a job in Abu Dhabi for two years. It is an awesome opportunity for us to see the other side of the world. I am looking forward to teaching 3 and 4 years olds. We will be leaving out of New York in August with 800 other families from New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom and Ireland. I can't wait to go on the next venture...

Dear Mom,
It has been a long time since you and I laughed together. It has been a long time since I sat with you on your porch while you smoked that dreaded cigarette. It has been a long time since I saw you in your white shorts. It has been a long time since we watched HGTV together.
It hasn't been a long time since I missed you because that happens everyday. It hasn't been a long time since I have seen something that reminded me of you because that happens everyday. It hasn't been a long time since I ate something that you use to enjoy because that happens everyday. It hasn't been a long time since I have told someone you and I both loved to quit smoking.
Alot has changed since you left us, Mom. Our family has grown with the addition of 5 adopted children. Trey got married and Ashely has been to the island of Belize working and is now in New Bern working. Olivia is working in Real Estate just like you mom. Colby and Morgan are in college. Your new grandchildren are Evin 11(China) Payden(10 US) Patrick 9 (China) Ellie8 (China)Lauren 21 (Campbell University).
We are not the same without your love and support. You had magic and we didn't know it, mom. You were able to keep us together when the storms were brewing in our life. Without you our ships have gone in different directions.
Today Mom I am trying to keep my children and their ships going in the same direction. I hope I do it with the same unconditional love you had within you.
I love you mom. I know you are at peace and that is the only way I can make it without you. God keep you till we meet again. Happy Mother's Day
Love,
Pat

Easter and testing
Trey and Meagan kept Payden and Patrick while I took my ESL test in Greenville. It was funny because I have not been in that building since 1974. The test was hard for me,as I have never taught ENGLISH SECOND Language. I appreciate the help with the little ones. When I finished they were waiting by the door to "WALK me from Class".
A child's simple wish..
Working full time makes it hard for me to have any time for "being a school parent". Those parents are the ones who volunteer everytime the doors open. Some parents are fortunate enough to have someone else at home carrying the load, and I am not one of those parents. Payden biggest wish was for me to bring her MCDonalds lunch like all the other parents do. So Olivia and I surprised her and she got the lunch of her dreams. She was a happy camper..
