with love

I've been a little AWOL this week because I came up to Northern VA so that I could sub a few days here and keep my sub certification active.  I'm subbing for the same second grade class for three days in a row, which in all the time I've subbed I think that is the most consecutive days I've ever been with one class.  Mostly what I've learned is that I really wish I had the energy of an eight-year-old.

I wish I could plaster this inside my brain for tomorrow.  I'm so sleepy and a lot of times that means I am wishing the minutes away.  But really I would like to enjoy my time there as much as possible, because while the kids can act up (some more than others) there is also so much good in each of them.

Tomorrow is Friday!  I can't wait.  I'm driving home on Saturday and taking pictures at a family friend's restaurant along the way... so excited to share them once they're done!

What have you been up to this week?  If you're new around here, say hello! (or if you're a regular!) I could use a pick-me-up.
