THERE'S NOTHING TO DO BUT I DON'T MIND WHEN I'M WITH YOU

Taking it easy and trying to recharge for the next week of school. It's a lot to start a class, routines take time getting used to, I feel like I'm figuring things out just as much as my students are. Valuing opportunities to have some downtime, playing with toys and making crafts. The importance of breaks in the day, sometimes I yell out "freeze! Now dance like monkeys!" and we all stop our work and rock out for a bit. Little mindless activites are absolutely necessary to keep your sanity. Finding times this weekend to relax, going out for sushi and watching the Canucks hockey practice and eating grilled cheese and walking the dog around Steveston. Sometimes it's not really the things you do but who you do them with. Some people in my life have no idea how amazing they've been.
