I didn’t think my body would remember how to get up for an early-morning workout, but it leapt into action like it had done it for all the yesterdays.
I didn’t think I’d get a chance to do a quick baked goods drop-off for a dear friend, but I did – and I got a hug and some dog butt scritches as a bonus.
I didn’t think it was much to share the poem a former student wrote with the music teacher, but it got turned into a song that gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes.
I didn’t think I’d get much in the way of breakfast, but there was that box of frittatas way back in the mini-fridge at school.
I didn’t think I’d get to see my fifth-graders today, but I was able to sweet-talk their teachers into working with them for a half an hour today.
I didn’t think I could be prouder of the third and fourth graders, but they knocked their school show out of the park.
I didn’t think I’d get much rest today, but here I am, shutting my laptop down and leaving it at school (egads!) until the morning.
And on that note, I shall leave you, my friends. As for you, what didn’t you do today?
Thanks, as always, for the Two Writing Teachers March Slice of Life Story Challenge. Check ’em out!

What a great format for recounting highlights of your day! We can surprise ourselves with the way things turn out contrary to what we anticipated.
It is amazing what we get done without really thinking about it.
I love this format! What a great way to look back on the day. So glad it went above expectations in so many ways!
This really was a fun way to look at the ways your day gave you surprises. ๐
