Today was my birthday! It was not exactly fun to start my birthday knowing it was a Monday, but it all turned out pretty good in the end.

The work day was pretty uneventful. My students were really well behaved and worked hard today, which always makes for a good day. I managed to get my report cards finished before I left work, too, so I don't have to worry about having to work on those again until the end of third quarter.

I got all kinds of birthday wishes from people in my email, at work, and on FB, too. That was really cool.

This evening the kids, Michael and I went to Trailhead for dinner. It was really good, even better than usual. It was really nice to have dinner like that together. Trailhead was not very busy, but they were a little slow. I think it's because students from one of the cooking schools were there. It didn't take too terribly long, though.

When we got home I got to open my presents. I got a Nickelback CD (one I didn't already have), a boxed set of all three Pirates of the Carribean movies on Blue-Ray, and a very nice Mizzou sweatshirt. All of my cards were really cute, too. Michaela made me a very pretty picture of a flower made out of hearts and an Abby dog made out of a cardboard roll. She loves to make things and is very creative about it all.

I really wanted to play games with my family, but I've had this nagging headache since about 1:00. It just really hurts. Advil is not helping at all either. I hate it when I get headaches like these. Without the headache it was a really good birthday.
