Slice of Life Day 13: I Didn’t Think

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?
