Daybook for 1/23/2013

We're...

...laughing: at the questions people ask about taxes when writing in to customer support, at Creed Bratton, at the dance moves we do during our workouts.

...eating: liquid kale (aka green smoothies), yams (my dinner of choice when Scott's away), treats every day at work to counteract the liquid kale (guilty smile).

...listening: to Dreamgirls (I'm going through a phase), Youtube covers, Eddie Redmayne, byutv.

...dreaming: about 40 degrees Fahrenheit, about magical lands where I get any wish I want and I choose a new set of tires (that was a real dream, fyi), about sleeping in on Saturday.

...wondering: how many more meetings the scouting program will come up with, if I'm going to have to shovel tomorrow, what kind of a haircut I will get.

...wearing: new socks, a king-size blanket, and all of my other regular clothes (just so we tie up all loose ends here).

...hoping: I have more emails at work, Scott has fewer emails at work, there is a new episode of Shark Tank this week.

...working: on presents for my family (it's birthday season in the Bruening household), on lessons, on comparison testing, on bids.

...loving: our warm and cozy home, "ab ripper x" (also hating it, if you catch that reference), that time between 6 and 6:15 AM where we snuggle and try to motivate ourselves to wake up.

CTR 5

Goodbye Sunbeams!

I progressed to the world of CTR 5 today.  This class includes some of the kids I had two years ago in sunbeams, so it's really not that much of a change (except the kids can read, use the restroom unassisted, and raise their hands...)  On second thought, this is quite a change.  I am excited, and I think I will enjoy church a lot more.  I might even revoke my vow to never have children. ;)

Now that we're done with the sunbeam blog posts, I thought I'd give you a final quote from the 2012 class.

Sunbeam: "My mom has a baby girl in her tummy, and we already named it."
Me: "What will the name be?"
Sunbeam 1 points to me.
Me: "What?"
Sunbeam: "We're naming it Sister Foley!"
(This story just lost a lot of credibility.)

Now that I'm no longer their teacher, I will admit that  I miss them a little.
