Thrilling Thursday

 That's what we're calling it.  Usually we have Fun Friday, which is a short bit of free time if they got their work finished.  

We don't have school on tomorrow (we have a teacher work day which is about the best thing that could happen to me at this point--I am so behind the times!), so we're having the free time if you got your work done today.

Thrilling Thursday.

Also, this is my grateful post for the week.  On Thursday.   I may not be up to it tomorrow.

I have day 2 of parent teacher conferences tonight and then I'm going to Provo where Emma is performing at an acoustic night at a coffee shop on Center Street.  If you're thinking that doesn't seem like my scene on a school night, you would be right, but Emma is my scene.

Here are some things I'm grateful for:

• surviving this week, I mean so far....
• my BYU practicum teacher-- I REALLY like her.  She is a natural and so nice and easy to talk to
• General Conference weekend--I love it.  I'm looking forward to a spiritual feast as I hear from our leaders.
• All the help and support I get at school
• The parents that came to parent teacher conferences and come read with me.  I know they love their children, but I also love their children and it makes me feel good when their parents show up.
• The fact that my unpacked suitcase is being patient.  Ugh.
• My autumn playlist.  I have one for every season, but my autumn one is my favorite.
• We've had perfect weather days.  Actually, they could be a little cooler, because I'm ready for sweaters, but they've been pretty great so I am grateful.
