I went back to work today. It was an odd day at work. Our building had a big field trip to see High School Musical. Half the students went and a lot of the staff. I stayed behind. This meant I ended up with more 5th and 6th graders in my room than I had 1st graders. It all went pretty good. The older kids had work to work on and they helped out with the younger ones some. If I'd been more organized I'd have had them do more for the little ones.

We also went to computer lab and they seemed to enjoy that, to. They got to help the little kids again, but still got to do their thing, too. But, man, oh man, I don't think I could do 5th and 6th graders. They giggle to much. Actually, since it was just for today it was kind of funny and fun to joke around with them but I'm not sure I could do that every day. I need things to be serious at times.

The kids and I played some Raving Rabbids II on the Wii. I may go play some more by myself in a little bit. It's hard to get a turn with those two since we only have two remotes.

My windshield in my van got replaced today. It was so nice to see my van without a gaping hole in the back of the van. The kids laughed at me when we got home. I patted my new window and said, "It's so good to see you here. I promise I won't break you." For some reason the kids thought this was funny.

Michael went shopping for my birthday present tonight but he won't tell me what he bought.

I already have one present though. It's the jacket that is pictured up above with the Scotties all over it. It came with a matching hat. It's soooooo warm. I love them both. I bought them for myself. So, they are my birthday present to me from me.
