what a wonderful whirlwind the last few weeks have been:

car accident

new car

said yes

CHRISTMAS

teaching

holiday break from school

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas full of peace, good food, family, and music.

some days

this happened to me today:

bye best car in the world...

good things:

no one was hurt

I did not get a ticket

I have a jazzy rental car

I'll get to "up grade" (automatic windows?)

I didn't pay to get the belt replaced before this happened

my students wrote me adorable notes

my advice: don't get in car accidents

december thoughts

If an 8 year old is too busy to do their 3 page homework packet within a week, they are too busy.

I wish I didn't feel so obligated to be "politically correct" about Christmas in my classroom.

Nothing smells better than fresh Christmas tree as you walk in your front door.

Snow is beautiful in the mountains, on the playground, in the yard, on the trees.  But not on my windshield.

My parents give good advice.

I would like to watch: Charlie Brown Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, and An American Christmas Carol.

New coat = new outlook on life.

Samuel is classy.

The holiday season is fun, especially when you get to be around kids all the time.  They help me to see what it's "all about."

Happy Christmas, Everyone.
