Things that make me smile...

It's been a tiring week. I haven't slept well and it's taken a toll on me. So as I head into the weekend, I thought I'd think of things that make me smile...just to get me in a happier mood.
Like:
- the fact that it will be Friday tomorrow!
- that I get to wear jeans to school. That means I don't have to spend countless, wasteful minutes standing in my closet saying that I don't have anything to wear.
- that I taught the meaning of prime numbers to fifth graders today and they actually thought it was fun.
- that The Office and ER are on tonight, and I think we may actually tape The Office (after 2 unsuccessful tries - we didn't have the TV on the right channel, duh?)
- that my husband cleaned the family room and the kitchen last night while I was at church with the teenagers (we just finished painting and stuff in the house and it was really, really dusty!)
- that girls I had in last year's bible study give me a hug and sit down to talk with me
- that girls I have this year are opening up and warming to me
- that I'm just 2 days away from having my Saturday morning date with Bob at Einstein's. I start getting a craving for a Dutch apple bagel and vanilla hazelnut coffee about now.
- that Bob and I are going with our friends, Dan and Donna and Bob and Kellie, to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at Fair Park Music Hall on Saturday afternoon and then out to dinner! I read in the paper that the lead is hilarious. Better than Steve Martin. Like "Jack Black on crack" the critic said. Yikes!
- that it's fall...my favorite time of the year. Even though it's still too darn hot out.
- that Bob and I will be traveling up to see Becca this month, the prettiest time of the year in Fayetteville.
- that our church seems a bit more energized after last Sunday's awesome message by Pete Briscoe. I'm looking forward to seeing a revival brought on by unity in the congregation.
- that a friend of mine is interviewing for a job at my school and I get to sit in on the interview.
- that colleagues at work seem to appreciate me. A welcome change from a previous job situation!
- that tomorrow is Friday and I get to sleep in a bit on Saturday! Did I say that already???
Have a great weekend!
