Top moments from this week

This has been a crazy week, full of highs and lows, so I'll quickly recap for you:

7.Sunday night, a group of coworkers got together at my friend Mandy's ranch and had a potluck BBQ. We had a good time, and Luke loved playing with other kids and opened up to some adults and talked.

6. Luke started his new class Tuesday, which is considered kindergarten at his daycare. He feels so big and important now that he's in kindergarten already! The best part is that he no longer naps, so as soon as he got home Tuesday, he fell asleep in his chair.

5. My knee has been hurting off and on for over a month, so after waking up at 2:00 this morning in a great deal of pain, I finally went in today. I'm very happy to know it's not as bad as it feels - it's an inflamed bursa sack (didn't know I had one) and with a month of meds and rest, it should get better. If not, I just have to go in and get a shot in the knee, and that'll do the trick. As long as their is relief in sight, I'm happy!

4. I got my money for mentoring two teachers this past year on Thursday. Well, I got paid for one and a half, because I'm still mentoring one until January. So after taxes, I got over $900! Nice extra pay to start off the summer...

3. One word - CRICUT. If you're a scrapper, you may know what it is. I've been eyeing it for a while, and once my pay went in Thursday, I went to hobby lobby and bought it! It's pretty cool - just haven't had the time to check it out. And to go with that, I made my first ebay purchase this week - and it was for a cricut cartridge. I felt pretty powerful winning my ebay bidding war in the last few seconds.

2. Tonight we went to Pluckers, a new wing restaurant that is opening on Tuesday. Marc was selected to go eat for free on their training night tonight and up to 4 people could go. So we packed up the fam tonight, ate among tons of KISD employees, and had a great, way too filling and fattening free meal! Good stuff.

And the #1 highlight (or should I say lowlight??) from the week goes as follows:
I was in the hall with my friend Camill, who also teaches 3rd grade. A prek class, taught by my friend Ms. Cuevas, was walking by and a little boy (who happens to be the grandson of our custodian) looked at me and Camill and said to Camill, "Is she your granny?" in reference to me! So maybe I'm no spring chicken these days, but a granny??? I had to admit after feeling a bit depressed for a second, that I got a good laugh out of it... and as word spread, so did many other coworkers, especially the custodian!

Hope you had a good week too!
