Monday {yesterday} was marvelous with the kids. We were busy all day. The Title teacher {across the hall} even commented, “I haven't seen you all day,” because we'd been so busy in our classroom. If every Monday goes like it did yesterday, this will be a great year! We will learn and accomplish a lot. Today, Tuesday, not so much. I'm obviously going to have to work very hard to make every day like Monday. It could be the differences today…a para coming in the room today off and on, a shelter-in-place drill which meant a shortened outside recess…but there weren't enough differences to cause it to be so unlike Monday.
Today I ordered my first Starbucks drink. I received a gift card from a teacher friend so I decided to venture in today to figure out something for this non-coffee-or-tea-drinker to order. I had about 2 options: a “refresher” or a smoothie. {It's not cold enough weather to even consider hot chocolate as an option!} The guy was really trying to convince me to get a refresher, but I went with the safe choice, the smoothie. I know I've had one of those before. He ended up making a refresher for himself and giving me some in a cup to taste test. Yum! I liked the Very Berry Hibiscus refresher better than the strawberry smoothie I ordered. Good salesman! Now I know exactly what I will be ordering next time I'm in Wichita. I do, after all, need to fully appreciate my gift card! … Shoot… Am I becoming a Starbucks snob?
