If you think of it, please remember our school's principal Carrie in your prayers. She's serving as an interim principal this year (her first year as a "real" principal), has a husband and young daughter and is almost in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy. We were informed today that she has been diagnosed with melanoma and a brain tumor. Please pray for God's sovereignty, for them to figure out an effective treatment for her cancer, and for her salvation if she doesn't know Christ.

I play a game with kindergarten called "Star light, star bright", in which they sit in a circle and sing the nursery rhyme while I wave around my star wand (i.e. a pencil with a paper star taped to it). If the star "lands" on them, they get to make a wish.
Today one student wished she had a mermaid tail, and another wished he had all the electronic dogs in the world.

(Really, don't we all?)

I think I want a pet turtle. But I'm pretty sure a turtle cage won't fit in my apartment.

In other news....The Office - season 4 begins in two days! I'm slightly addicted.
Also, sour milk is bad. Don't drink it.

For anyone who was worried (and I knew you were) I procured "The Office - season 3" on the third try. (No thanks to Wal-Mart or Target.) Let's all give a big cheer to Best Buy for having automatic doors that still open after they're officially closed at 9:00!

I think...

...I don't know what I think.

I need some more free time. Whenever I'm not working I'm often eating take-out and watching television because my body is desperately trying to wind down after running around all day, trying to corral crazy kids into movement activities and keeping them engaged in active learning while keeping up with staff meetings, curriculum development and planning field trips in my puny amount of planning time.

After teaching piano lessons and going to church in the evening, I just want to sit and let my brain cells fizzle out. But I should be reading. I don't think I'm getting any smarter watching Friends.  (Probably just the opposite, actually.)
