last night was our first park voyagers family workshop. i wasn't super de duper excited about it, mainly because it was a night event, but over 80 people showed up and both my favorite families from that park came (and i got to meet their entire families) so i was feeling positive before it started.
it was fun, of course. ethan, one of my favs, started chit chatting with me at the end like he just saw me (even though i'd been talking in front of the entire group all evening) and i was like, 'awww he wants some one on one time.' yea!
then so many of the parents came up at the end to thank me and say how much fun their kids had during the program. it was just super nice. i can't wait to work with the same families this saturday at their field trip and next wednesday night as well.
heidi, my co-worker, gave me a ride to the bus downtown, which was super nice of her in the snowy, flurryish weather. i got on the bus and let out a big sigh i was just completely shot. and i remembered i had to run to jewel. and i thought 'how can i put it off,' but i just couldn't. 1 i really needed to mail something (stamps), 2 there's a baby shower at work today and i don't love this lady (maybe that's because i've only known her pregnant, she's due any day), but it didn't seem like anyone was bringing anything so i decided to bring pretzels. i know. a real strain. (that's sarcastic) but i got a good kind, the honey wheat twist things. and 3 i needed onions. i know that's a weird one, but i cook with onions a lot and i was out.
so i forced myself there.
at least on the way back i talked to karen and she made me forget how cold and tired i was during my walk home.
but this morning there was a beautiful sunrise and i was ready for another day!
i packed my heels today (i never wear them outside in winter. i put on gross boots to get me to work and then change), which means i mean business.
then i was texting karen on my way to work and somehow she managed to talk about three completely unrelated topics in ONE text message. i can barely express myself on one topic. i can't condense my thoughts well. i tend to blabber. texting is not a talent of mine, but i laughed (out loud) as i was amazed at hers.
yesterday elena and i wondered where our pens disappeared to and today we were cleaning up a shelf in planet explorers we found AWESOME ones. we keep commenting on how wonderful they are. we even decided to give liz one as a welcome back gift (she's on vacay this week).
then i was returning something to a supply closet (which is a hot mess, of course) and found glow in the dark crayons! (pause for dramatic effect) i'm not making this up! i had no idea these even existed!!! i can't wait for a slow day when i can try these out and decorate my room with them of course.
it's the little things, you know?
