Weekly Wins

Sorry for my absence much of this week--as I said on Wednesday, it has just been a super busy week coming off of Spring Break with meetings, and catching up, etc etc.
It's also been a bit more difficult since Ella has decided that she likes waking up around 6am this week which makes it incredibly difficult for me to get ready in the mornings because #shesnonstop.
I think she's teething which is part of the problem. Lots of drool, crankiness, and early wake ups.

In addition to that, we had to cancel our anniversary trip to NYC for this weekend because it's supposed to be in the 30s and 40s and was supposed to snow (that has since changed it seems). MG planned and booked this trip, and we definitely didn't anticipate this happening in April, so it's a bummer. Plus, we were going to get a night on our own with my SIL watching Ella. But, now with cold weather and maybe snow there, and a small potential of snow here, it's a bust. I'm disappointed, but we'll make the most of it, and hopefully find another weekend to get away. 

Even with those set backs, there are still some wins this week:

~two parent meetings that went exceedingly well--one of which I anticipated being painful (and I lost sleep over) was actually painless and couldn't have gone better! HUGE win!

~a scheduled date night next weekend, babysitter already locked down (thankful to work with people who have HS kids willing to babysit), to temporarily make up for missed anniversary weekend

~Two 60-70 degree days this week! (The fact that we are still talking about snow in APRIL is NOT a win, though)

~pics of Ella at daycare, being a trouble maker with her partner in crime
~having a husband who takes care of the oil changes and other vehicle maintenance things so that I don't have to worry about it #actsofservice #itsthelittlethings

~I had a breakthrough with one of the students I work with who has autism! It's so exciting to see a kid learn and do something they haven't done before and have that light bulb click on!

~On a smaller note, Southern Charm is back! Yessssssss!!! #guiltypleasure

It was a busy work week, and a pretty quiet one overall, but there were still some wins this week on my end, and I hope there were for you, too!
Happy Friday!

  2. Sorry about your trip! I've always wanted to go to NYC, and actually I would prefer it to snow when there haha! I want to go around the holidays so that would make sense, but in April, it shouldn't be snowing! Yay for a date night though, that will be fun! I'm jealou of your 2 nice weather days, it's looking like it will be a while until we get there. Have a great weekend!
