Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful...

- that I finally posted an entry I've been trying to share for a few weeks now. 

- for an awesome weekend with Rob's fam. Family is just the best, amiright?

- that my students are such good kids. It makes conferences slightly more enjoyable. 

- I'm doing a professional development webinar Friday (day after aforementioned conferences).

- Huston still remembers me after I've been gone so much this week. :)

- he waved bye bye last week! Of course he won't do it anymore, but it was darn adorable. He also... wait for it... GIVES KISSES! So smooshy. And wet. His other latest trick is shaking his head no. :)

- for a blast from the past. I educated my students yesterday on the glory of the 90s (B*witched - C'est la vie and Ricky Martin - Livin la Vida Loca). 10 year old Tammy loved every minute of it. :)

- for videos, pics, and updates from my mom each day. 

- that I haven't broken my phone yet. My dinosaur of a case bit the dust (actually was broken by someone I shall not name) so I've switched to a sleek little number. I love the way it looks and feels but I'm très nerveuse.

- for SLEEP! Huston slept from 7:30-5:30 and it was the first time I've slept (almost) the entire night!! Coincidentally it was also the first night the monitor wasn't properly plugged in and ran out of battery midway through the night. Seriously, it was a coincidence. I swear. 

Thankful Thursday

Today I'm thankful...

- that you're still reading this even though I slacked the last two weeks.

- for a super fantastic weekend at Adventureland Inn! Family = fun. Huston did not love swimming, but he did love being in a new place! He gets so bored around here and there were so many things to see, touch, hear, etc!

- for my little Valentine. My big Valentine and I made an agreement not to get each other anything, but Huston managed to get me the most beautiful bouquet of red tulips and a heart shaped mousse cake from Whole Foods. I told you he was advanced! ;)

- for date night. Yep, our first date night since Huston was born. Yikes. Dinner and an Iowa Wild game were arranged for Rob's (early) birthday gift and we had a fabulous time. Laughing, joking, and just being dumb with my best guy is the best medicine. Oh, and Huston was an angel with Grandma and Grandpa. (Do I even need to type that anymore or is it just understood?)

- that we're on the mend. Speaking of medicine, we've been under the weather for almost two weeks now. First Rob, then me, and of course LBH (lidda baby Huston) got it too. 

- that I'm going to start my masters classes soon! I've officially decided to go through Viterbo and finally have most of the paperwork and approval process finished. 

- for late starts! I'm not sure why KC doesn't ever use them, but I'm sure glad the DSM area does! Monday morning was a dream. 

- for early outs! Teachers are just as excited as students when we don't have school, but don't let the secret ok, mmkay?

- for new seats. Time to switch things up, kids.

- for complimentary students. Almost daily I hear comments about how good my classroom smells! Little things (air fresheners) really can make a big difference. 

- that Rob likes to keep things tidy. 

- for the way Huston laughs. You couldn't hold back a smile if you tried, I dare ya'.
