Lets review.

Hows is my challenge to myself going? Oh so sweet of you to ask! Its going well! I still have a few days but so far Ive been doing most of these. Lots of smiles, high fives, laughs, hugs, helping, staying late and Christmas. Loads of Christmas. Have I been the most positive person on the planet this week? Heck no. Lets get some of the frustrations out first, I'm going to list these out real quick and then forget about them.

-One of my special friends has been doing really well, like really well. But this week and last he has gone back to the kid he was at the start of the year, its incredibly disheartening and frustrating.
-Talking, constant talking....over me...over each other...talking
-I might have gotten angry a few times...frustrated maybe...maybe some tears....maybe


AND NOW IM DONE! Not thinking about those things anymore.

The positives of the week.

Our elf came! It was so fun. Our awesome Vice Principal Steele busted into our room with a present that was wrapped in Christmas paper! AND IT WAS COLD! That could only mean 1 thing, it totally came from the North Pole. Mrs. Steele told us how an elf named Ffffffffranklin had busted through her ceiling and gave her this present for us. We opened it and it was our Elf on the Shelf book! The kids loved it. The next day our elf showed up! We named him Belle, we are a very progressive class and name boy elves girl names.....If anyone has some cute ideas for our elf, I would love to hear them!

My kids really like old school Christmas music. Like Perry Como, Bing Crosby and Harry Connick Jr. Thank goodness they do because if they didn't, poor things would be miserable for the next 2 weeks.....I would have listened to it anyways.

Overall, my kids were actually pretty good this week, there were bumps in our road, but no mountains on our adventure. (I just came up with that little saying and Im really proud of it.....Im making it into a poster) (jk im not...) (but I should)

10 more days. They WILL be great.
