its the little things...

i am feeling positive, happy, tired, and glad.
its friday again.

things i love this friday:

• sick little ones getting well. i am so glad nina's little joey is okay.
• having a snowday mid-week with only an inch of snow on the ground. it made for two mini-two-day weeks. what joy. its such a bonus day, no stress, no worries. snowdays are my favorite. i need that on a t-shirt.
• happiness in my classroom when i can look around and see everyone on task and smile to myself. we give ourselves a kiss on our brains, a pat on the back, a high five, and we move on. these are the moments to hold onto... they can be too few and too far between.
• watching my kids light up with fascination when i show them pictures of my family. yes, i a have a mom and dad and husband and sister and dog.
• yummy salad with winter fruits and homemade lemon poppyseed dressing.
  
• seeing a field of no less than 50 deer munching about on my way home. 50. in one field. a beautiful sight.
• seeing a hawk swoop down in front of my car, a little too close, to scoop up some roadkill in its talons.
• seeing a blazing red cardinal zip in front of my car. nature. if only i could see all this out of my car once in a while.
• watching 'the office' curled up next to my lovely husband on the couch.
• getting set for a week-end of sewing and crafting and reading and baking.
• deep fatigue and knowing i don't have to wake up in the morning.

i love week-ends. i love to sleep.
