Day #72

Yesterday at work I forgot to mention that Olympus Jr High came to sing for the school & today we got to hear the Granite Youth Symphony Orchestra play.  It was wonderful!

Today was a wild ride.  I have been fighting a cold, so far I'm winning and it hasn't really sunk in.  Well the foggy brain has, so this morning I'm not sure why I didn't wake up or if I did to my alarms or whatnot, but I rolled over and looked at the clock and it said "8:18."  I freaked out and called Barb (our secretary) at school and told her I was getting in my car and on my way to school.  I also asked her to put the other K teacher on duty for my class.  I put on this outfit of black (cause all black things must go together somehow right?) and grabbed a banana (in the time it took me to get dressed, Ben had made me a lunch-he's the best, so I grabbed that too) and I made it to school 3 minutes after the first bell.  Whew!  I got the last parking spot (let's just say I invented one-who knows where they are because of all the snow on the ground, although I have every spot memorized, so I knew better) but I had to be quick.  So I went into my classroom and found the other teacher & a sweet mom with my students talking about Christmas!  I was thrilled.  Lucky for me I stayed late yesterday at school and prepared everything-for some unknown reason, and now, I know the reason! 

From there, things went without a hitch.  I had the sweet mom tell Barb that I was there and my students were none the wiser.  Overall it was an embarrassing moment.  Totally out of character for me as a professional.  I do not wish it to happen again-only if it is a snow storm and I'm seriously stuck in traffic, and then it wasn't my fault.  Or, could I say that this semi-cold is all its fault?

Well, here's the black outfit for the day:

Black boots, black tights, black skirt, black long sleeved t-shirt, and a bun in my hair.  PS There's a cute dog named Beans in the corner!!

Tonight I have planned early bed and 10 alarm clocks for the morning! PS, MOM if you are reading this, call me @ 7:00 my time-9 yours to wake me up!  THANKS!  Moms are the best!
