Well today I turned 35. Woo hoo! Getting older is pretty nice. I figured out that the older you get, the less you care about what others think and the more direct and fiesty you get. I think it suits me just fine. I've also figured out that the older I get, the less patience I have. That one may not be so good. :)
Today was a good day, although it started out rainy and dreary. My morning commute usually takes about 40 minutes. Today it took an hour because I got stopped by a long, but quickly moving train (see picture), and people somehow forget how to drive when it's wet (which induces much honking and curse words from me- see: it's the less patience thing and getting old).
School was good with my kiddos. They were very well behaved today, which was a wonderful present (and they didn't even know it was my birthday). My teaching partners baked a cake and we all had a treat on our planning period. Then, when I arrived home, I was greeted with 3 wonderful things: flowers from Rian, a birthday card from Mom (Phyllis) and a phone message from Mom (Maureen). What a wonderful way to end the day! I plan on sitting around and reading my three new books that I bought and enjoying a quiet evening. We should have some more showers this evening, so it looks like we'll be all cuddly and snuggled inside.
Another Monday down, only... well, lots more to go until the end of the year. :)
