Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful...

- this baby is so active! He's already setting records: I just recorded 10 kicks in 29 seconds. Settle down, little guy!

- for a disappointing tour of OPRMC. Yep, you read that right. Our decision was made the second we walked in the door and it just went downhill from there. SMMC, here we come...

- for a great 3rd hour today mostly because my least favorite student skipped for the 12th time this semsester. My Frenchies have been all but beaten down this year from our challenging and nearly impossible curriculum. I've decided not to teach the subjunctive which gives me a whopping 9 days for vocab this chapter! I'm loving the freedom and flexibility to incorporate some different activities we haven't had time for yet. Today we did a speaking activity where they were supposed to small-talk with their partners for two minutes with no English. You should've seen the smiles on their faces when I cut them off and told them it had been five minutes!

- for Rob's semi-successful solo trip to the grocery store today. This time he only came home with two half-price containers of donut balls, 80% beef, and Doritos. Well, at least it's improvement from last time ...

- that I finally kept a straight face today while playing a very very mean pregnant lady trick. My victim was a former student when we saw each other in the hallway today.
- Sra Simms, you're pregnant?!
- What?
- I didn't know you were pregnant!
- What are you talking about?
- (she looks at my belly with a very concerned look then there's a loooong pause)
- Ha, just kidding!

- for another April birthday. Happy second 29th today to a beautiful big sis of mine!

- for a job opportunity Rob recently discovered. We're trying to be level-headed and not get our hopes up or make a rash decision. Hah, like I'm capable of that!

- for a chiropractor in Cedar Falls who has made Cory a happy camper. I can't believe I just said Cory and happy camper in the same sentence. This is the greatest of all Thankful Thursday entries!!!!!
