Thursdays

I like Thursdays. On Thursdays, about half of my class has gone to their "gifted" class. So, on Thursdays, my class is quiet. I think that the ones that are left like Thursdays, too. It's almost as if they come out of their shell, instead of being in the shadow of the gifted ones.

Well, the countdown is under 1 month... 29 days to be exact.. On one hand, it seems like the year has just slowly passed by (school year). On the other hand, we have 6 days until Spring Break, 38 days of school and 29 days to my wedding. I can't believe it's almost here. As I think about what little time is left, my shoulders begin to tense and well, I get a little stressed. I still have a lot I need to do or figure out. But it's all the little things, like finishing up the programs (yup, I am doing them myself), writing thank you notes to the wedding party, coming up with a play list for the dj (or at least what NOT to play). I am tying up all the loose ends. It's been a fun week. Three days this week, we have had a package waiting at our house. It is fun to open the boxes to see who this wedding gift is from. And I have been surprised each time.

Being 30 is okay. I don't feel much different. I had a lovely birthday. My dad brought me yellow roses (mom's favorite)to school. My closest friend brought me irises and Starbucks that morning, which was a wonderful surprise! Especially since I had talked to her a long time the day before and she didn't even hint! :)
