The Bandwagon: Birthday

Birthday

I woke up to a bouquet of Gerber daisies from my dh and half a dozen Facebook birthday wishes :) I went to the grocery store on the way to get cupcakes and Capri Sun for my class and plants for the secretaries. I got to school and was bombarded with wishes. Cindi brought me prezzies from her and her kids, including hand drawn cards. The fourth grade teachers had all the kids (and the VP who happened to be passing by) sing to me, and one of the teachers made me a crown to wear. Another teacher gave me a plant and another a box of chocolates. Problem Child brought me 5 candy bars! My other problem child brought me a plant that I've never seen, but is pretty. Took awhile to calm the kids down. Then they bought me lunch from Pizza Hut (NOT pizza, thank goodness, I've overdosed on that.)

I got a call from my mom before school and a text from my son and a BUNCH of Facebook wishes. Now I'm thinking about where to go for dinner. I want to go to Chuy's but the ds loves it and he's working.

So, good day. :)

The other good news was that out of my 16 kids that I passed to 5th grade, all but one passed both math and reading TAKS (and she only failed math, which was always her weak spot), and EIGHT got commended performance, which means they missed 2 or less.

And I got a new sewing basket!; 8:08 PM
