Happy This Week

I am working on a schedule for myself that will allow me to write a post at least three times a week. I have not been very good about that lately. I’m not going to lie, we’ve had a rough fall. With school starting, and especially with school not going well for Olivia at all this year, our focus has been on survival, basically. I haven’t been too focused on me or what I need because I’m focused on her and getting her what she needs. Matt’s been super stressed out too, so I’ve been focusing on him and helping him too. But I really miss writing here, and connecting with all of you, so I’m going to work on that.

So what made you happy this week? I hope there was a lot! Here’s what made me happy these last 2 weeks…

Surprising my friend at work with her favorite brownies that I make for her birthday…

A fall manicure with my manicurist who I adore…

A clean house…

Looking at my pictures on my phone and discovering three pictures taken by two of my favorite girl students…they are so goofy…

American Horror Story…we are watching Coven and Carnival Freak Show…those are some freaky shows…

Coffee with pumpkin spice creamer…

A weekend with no sports or commitments…just time to hang out and do school work…

Fall decorations…

A surprise care package from the 5p- Society filled with cups and pens and a magnet for our car…

Reading a good book even if it’s only for 10 minutes at a time…

Getting tables for my classroom instead of desks so the kids can sit in groups…

Having the opportunity to go to the national math conference with my colleagues and having a blast and learning a ton…

Being a part of a wonderful inservice on Tuesday that was educational, fun and inspiring…ask any teacher, that hardly ever happens!…

Having friends over for dinner and games…

remembering that, above all else, I love everyone in my life with all of my heart and I am loved in return.
