It's only Wednesday?!?

 I slept abysmally Monday night and yesterday was rough.  I was very tired and it was a day back after a sub, first day with my practicum student, someone's birthday and parent teacher conferences, so a twelve hour day.

I slept over nine hours last night and I'm ready to go back.

Also, Adam and Mark went for Chinese food last night while I was gone and this was on the fridge this morning:

So I'm looking forward to that....

I am liking my practicum student.  During my prep yesterday we were in the work room assembling phonics packets and talking about following the Spirit.  

Utah County is such a unique place to live!

Conferences were mostly really good.  Since I don't have any super tricky behavior situations right now, I didn't have to have any of those conversations.  I had a few conferences that explain so very much about the students.  One filled me with compassion and I think I will look at the student differently now.  I hope I will.

Matt brought Olive Garden food for us for dinner and he was pushing breadsticks on us and telling us caffeine was in the fridge.  He said, "C'mon, you've got to carb load!  You need energy!"

If we could ever bottle up his energy, we wouldn't need another source.

I ended up the night with a really good experience.  One of my little favorites who works harder than probably the rest of them combined, has lived in the United States for two years.  She struggles, but her growth has been phenomenal.  I loved showing her mom.  Her mom's eyes got a little teary and she said, "You have made me so happy."

Same!
