Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful  ...

- that we don't have to make up any snow days! YahooOOOoo!

- that I'm not as far behind as I thought I would be after missing two days of school. I guess that preparation paid off. And the fact that I left them movies to watch and didn't assign homework. :)

- for the nice note my sub left: Tammy, Your classes were wonderful both days! They all sat up and seemed interested. (The French 2 kids loved the movie!) I did not have any problems with electronics. :) They are such neat kids - I enjoy them and I'm sure you do as well. I hope "Baby Simms" is growing and kicking. - Anita

- that I had Anita, the best sub ever. Not only does she leave pages of detailed notes (and super nice comments), she also checks EVERYTHING. It's so incredible to come back to!

- for a few productive and fun days in Ankeny. See Laura's blog for proof on the fun part: Part 1 Part 2

- that we tentatively found our future apartment. Check it out: Woodland Reserve

- for my coworkers: past, present, and future. I'm so blessed!

- for April birthdays! Kael's is coming up Saturday ... I can't believe he's going to be 8!

- for the nap I took yesterday. I was attributing my sleepiness to the long weekend, crazy schedule, etc. but Rob pointed out it was probably a pretty serious sugar crash after the glucose test! Hah.

- For the rose on my desk at school. A coworker of mine applied for grants and somehow got us a set of iPads for the World Language department and the Shawnee Mission Education Fund presented us with a big check, flowers, and two tickets to the theatre. What are the odds of me prying my dear husband away from baseball for a night to go a performance?

- for upcoming baby showers! They're the best and I have three planned in 10 days. I'm going to be a party.animal.

- for friends' milestones and celebrations as well. Melissa's bachelorette party also falls in that 10 day span and her wedding is two weeks later. Oh, and I've been talking wedding plans with Kristen which is one of my very favorite after school activites!

- for the songs I teach. Most are pretty ridiculous, but today my Frenchies got a taste of Celine and I love that it's still stuck in my head. Je chanterai, je chanterai, je chanterai, je chanterai toujours... I was THISCLOSE to convincing my third hour to perform it together.
