tuesdays are happy, too

Work is back in full swing & I'm loving it. Last week I spent the majority of my work week sick as a dog {as you may remember me mentioning} and so I came back to a wreck of a classroom. The substitutes I had {3 different people!} were not so delightfully awesome. One even went so far as to not give my class any of information for their reports, homework, or their math assignments. She also went through my stuff. Not awesome, friendo.

Yesterday I stayed late to get things back in order & update my classroom library {new adopted goodies & such} so I didn't get back in time to post a happy list. Fear not! Tuesday is a good time to be happy, too.


51.      curling up to watch TV after a long day of work {or anything, really}
52.      birchbox {surprises in your mailbox EVERY month!? Yes, please}
53.      listening to a funny conversation between two people. Bonus points if those people are little kids. Super bonus points if they're little kids talking about something like Pokemon books. This is apparently serious business.
54.      spray paint. It will change your life... or at least your possessions.
55.      home movies



In other news, my school bowling league came in second place. I assure you that I had nothing to do with it, but I'll reap the benefits of bragging rights anyway.
