he probably does.
Yesterday, in my 'trying to make my day better than yesterday' thought process, I told my Grade 1 students that I was feeling grumpy and that if they were quiet while the Teacher was busy in the hallway, I would turn on some music.
*flashback*
I was with most of these students last year, because I was in 2 Kindergarten classes during the day. So, at the end of the year, I made all of them mixes of different music that they had learnt, heard throughout the year.
They started working quietly. So I put on a mix that I made this year, and this song started playing,
most of the students recognized it and started half singing. One boy came up to me and said,
"This is the Saskatchewan song. You put it on the cd you made for the class at the end of Kindergarten. I still listen to it everyday after school."
and there you have it.
:)
Day instantly bettered and heart instantly warmed.

all I need is a couple days off
I am not getting called by the Hospital to work, i HAD 5 Spas booked this month, and so far I have had to cancel 4 of them. I have no money, no gas, I haven't had groceries all month, plus class is stressing me out.
That is all.
That is all.

tonight I would not help anyone
I would be the worst nurse tonight. My studying is sucking tonight. I have no concentration for my little blue, yellow and pink textbook, even though I should be all hardcore.
I'm totally attention deficit tonight. Lots of thoughts rolling around in there.
I'm thinking about my co-workers that came over today for a baby social. It was cute. I couldn't find my camera, so I used a cheapo one that I got at Canadian Tire (it was a promo and came with a flashlight). I took all of the pictures but couldn't download them becasue I needed to use the installation disc, which DID NOT come with the camera. Nice work.
I'm thinking about the migraine that I had and hid so well today. I was supposed to work, but didn't. I need to find time to go to the gym more, becsue that helps my migraines. and water, lots of water helps. Sleep as well. Which reminds me, I should fill my water bottle for tomorrow.
I am thinking about the 3 possibly 4 spas that I may be doing by the end of the month. I have never done spa by myself, so it's kind of exciting and kind of scary. This spa - ing is not something that I would do full time, but I like doing it on a casual basis. It's fun, and better if I can make some money on the side.
I'm thinking about work. I haven't worked at the Hospital in 2 weeks, that's a pay period. I hope that I get work soon. I miss work.
I am thinking about a boy that makes me smile, my students that make me smile, my family that makes me smile, my friends that make me smile, and the small children and babies that make me smile.
and I'm thinking about Josh Groban.
I'm thinking that the busy life has begun.

Boo-urns for March so far
So,
Bron, Erik, Michael and Ali,
I have to mail your swag in 2 parts,
becasue one of the parts isn't ready yet.
Erik, I asked for your shirt size becasue one of the parts of the swag is only useful for those who live in Canada. So I'm making you something else.
Scott, you'll get your if you come west in April.
Just thought I should let everyone know that.
I could wait until the end of the month, and mail it all then.
But I want to keep my promise of swag delivery.
I'm a nerd. I know my students harshly disagreed with me today while we were having a conversation about High School Musical. But if they only knew.
:)

I. See. Them. Everywhere.
Backtrack to Valentines Day...
My students gave out High School Musical Valentines (I still have mine on my fridge). I told them that I had never seen it, and one little girl said,
Her - Miss. M, you have to home and watch it afterschool.
Me - I can't becasue I don't own it.
Her - You can get it off your computer.
Smart Cookie.
So today, I was at Wal-Mart. I am a 'check out the whole store if I have time sort of shopper'. Well, when I was in the toy section, I saw one of my students. This is how the conversation went,
Her - Hi Miss. M. What are you doing here?
Me - I'm just picking up s few things.
Her - Are you buying High School Musical stuff becasue we said that you would like the movie?
Me - No, just paper towels and other boring grown up things.
Her - I think you are. *smiles*
Her Mom - Let's go.
Her - Ok, bye Miss. M. If you want to buy the movie, it's over where the rest of the movies are. *giggles*
So cute.
For your information, I didn't but the movie.

Daily dose of child cuteness
I was out on supervision today and one of my students ran towards a small patch of cement and a little tuff of grass beside it. They just knelt there and watched in amazement. I thought that maybe there was glass or something that they didn't want to touch. When I walked over, the student looked up, smiled and said,
"Look Miss M, spring is growing. Maybe if we look after it, it will grow bigger."
:)
I love those kids.

I should be studying but...
I have ADD and can only do that for so long.
I NEVER thought that I would like going back to school as much as I do. The classes are lots of fun and informative. Tere are all women in the class, so it's makes it kind of interesting that way. I am quite excited for when I start the RPN course. It's so intersting. Although, I do admit it, there are times when I catch myself nodding off.
Next Tuesday, an hr after my class ends, I will be starting an exercise class. I should sleep good then.
Oh, and by the way,
the swag will be mailed out this coming Tuesday.
I won a free coffee on Roll Up The Rim today. Becasue of my crazy arthritic hands, I can only bite up the rim. That will probably loose me a prize. I checked out my prize in front of one of my little girls. This is how the conversation went,
Me - Maybe I'll win a car
Her - smiles and shrugs
roll up the rim
Me - I won a coffee.
Her - A coffee is better than winning a car becasue now you don't have to pay for the coffee becasue it's free.
lol
Now, back to studying.
I am the poster child for ADD.

Happy hump day randomness.
Sometimes a post is so amazingly cute and who cares if it's about celebraties, it made my day.
I was suppose to work my magic at a spa tonight, but it was cancelled.
My Belle is making noises, she was hurt a couple of weeks ago.
I don't think I want to have children.
Tomorrow is Thursday.
More later, off to study...

scary dream
I had a horrible, and I mean HORRIBLE nightmare last night. I had a nightmare that I was beating on 4 different people at 4 different times. The worst thing was that the 4 people were exactly the same person. I was swearing and yelling too. I woke up sweating, dizzy, with a cramp in my calf and my arms hurt, and then I started to cry. It was quite a disturbing experience
It was the most horrible dream that I think I ever had.

100th post
Today is my 100th post!! Horray!!
I am going to have a 100 post giveaway. Like most days, I am afraid that no one will read this. So if you read this, comment and maybe add an obscure piece of information about me.
The swag will be good.
