Break's Over!

This weekend I went to the beach and RELAXED. I had forgotten what that was! Since I started the school year last August, I have not taken a breath! It was very nice! However, the oil was in full force. Tar balls covering the beach and green, slimy water. Disgust! It was so sad to see orange beach and gulf shores look like war zones. It was like something you would see off of a movie! I just can't help but think of my kids, ELL kids in particular after visiting the beach. I work in a commmunity who relies heavily on the seafood industry. Many of the families own markets, work in markets, own shrimp boats, or work on the boats. I cannot imagine how much they are struggling this summer and my heart breaks for the families. It is hard working community and so I know they will pull through. Still just very sad to have your livelihood practically taken!
