T.G.I.F.

After a long, hard, amazing week at the school, I am so thrilled that it is finally the weekend! Today was a fun Friday with the kids- we hatched 10 chicks today which made me miss the CDCLR! We had a birthday celebration with cake and candles for one of the kids and all of the kids just adored our new playground equipment! The little girl that I have been following was having a rough morning and needed to be taken out of two of her morning classes for screaming at the top of her lungs. I tried walking around the hall with her but it did not help to calm her down so we went in and the occupational therapist did some jumping exercises but still she would not stop screaming upon entering the classroom. Then it seemed like screaming was an excuse for not doing work so I brought her into a classroom and went through lessons with just the two of us. It was pretty cool to work one-on-one with one of the children although she was pretty zoned out. I also was a huge clumsy ogre today and I was running at full speed after a child and my apron got caught on a doorknob and I completely wiped out on the floor. In front of a man from another school who was checking up on one of the kiddies. Embarrassing. I am pretty sure my face turned the color of a tomato and my apron literally tore in half. Then to make matters worse, one of the chicks pooped strange colors all over the bottom of my apron. I think this was a worse day for the apron then for me, though! We had a staff meeting when work ended and then Libby and I came home!

I felt like walking around London so while Libby went out to see a friend, I took a stroll to the mall and to a couple of shops around the corner. I found one little shop in the mall that looked like a teeny tiny card store but I walked in and it had some cool jewelry and clothes and vintage-y furniture. The other shops were not really anything special but I stopped at a little cafe and had a cinnamon-apple muffin and juice and people-watched. Then I walked down the street and found this store that I completely adored: Oliver Bonas. The clothes and jewelry and gifts were to die for! By the time I left there, it was past 6 and a lot of the shops I wanted to see were closing so I came home. That was when I realized that the theme-song for my weekend will be "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars- "Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed!" So I am getting into my PJs and crawling into bed for a Glee-filled night of relaxation. Xxxxx
