It’s not just Monday. It’s the Monday after Halloween, a few days off the full moon. The kids had a three-day weekend (Friday PA day). And we just changed the clocks. School was a bit wacko today.
It would figure that – less than 24 hours after I’d mentioned how well the kids were sleeping lately, HA – my daughter woke up at 1:40 needing cuddles and tried to infiltrate our bed, and it took almost an hour to get her back where she should be. And I’d already had trouble getting to sleep (the clock change messes with me too).
I’m grateful for that sleepy 6-week-old golden lab puppy I got to pet, right when I arrived at school. That’ll make your day.
I’m grateful for absolutely beautiful fall weather that didn’t look or feel like November.
I’m grateful for a completely unexpected cooperation and problem-solving between two difficult students, on today of all days, that meant I didn’t have to mediate at all. Amazing.
I’m grateful for my colleagues who understand everything we all go through, who work so hard and really want the best for – and out of – those kids.
And I’m really grateful that our Federation and the provincial government have finally, finally reached a tentative agreement, so we can hope that school life will go back to normal soon.
Oh – and boy, was I grateful for coffee today.

I hope the wee nap she had in the stroller today didn’t mean she was hard to get to bed tonight! I was longer at Beth’s than I expected and you were already in bed when I got back so didn’t have a chance to ask you how things went so I just hope everything was okay and you have a quiet night tonight!
It was so good to have you here. <3 <3 <3
