Let's make this quick...

I'm tired, I'm ready for bed, it's only 9:00 and I already had a short nap earlier this evening. Let me start by saying that getting up early is for the birds!! When I got in my car to leave for school this morning...it was dark. I had to eat my breakfast while driving...in the dark. I walked into school...in the dark. Good morning! I say to my cooperating teacher. Good morning! she says, I think you have some of your breakfast on your sweater. Ahhh. (Seriously!) Thanks. That's what happens when I'm expected to be here this early and have to eat in the dark....great impression on my first day don't ya think?!? Luckily I know her well and we can laugh about it. Tomorrow I think I'll set my alarm a minute earlier so I can scarf down breakfast before leaving.

I'm happy to announce the rest of the day went well. No food left over on my sweater from lunch, no toilet paper attached to my shoe walking out of the restroom. I was even more than a little flattered that after 3 months of not seeing me (I worked with the same group this Fall) some of the students noticed my new hair color and commented on how fabulous they thought it looked. -Shout out to my great hair stylist Nicole! You rock!- I also had 3 boys trying to guess my age as they couldn't believe I had kids. They guessed 21, 22 and 24. They were somewhat mortified when I told them I could be their mothers but I do see some extra credit points in their future! You keep those kinds of compliments coming and I think we'll all get along just fine this semester!

To report on the other issue I am thrilled to say I was able to take a shower last night 2 handed. Woot! Woot! It was a proud moment in this mom's life when I got to see one of my girls hanging out all by herself with no assistance. I felt a similar sense of pride when my children took their first steps. I did, however, skip the camera to document the event...your welcome.

So other than that, still waiting. To all who have emailed and sent well wishes I appreciate them more than you know. I will be getting back to each of you as soon as I can. For now sleep in much needed!!!
