the LITTLE things may 7th

LITTLE daily lists

1.  fresh, clean towels.

2.  buying a bottle of wine just because the label is pretty.

3.  hanging out with peanut butter m & m’s all night {so thoughtfully given to me for teacher appreciation}.

4.  the movie sister act being on tonight {and cracking up with my sisters every time one of the movie’s songs is played at church}.

5.  when my students answer hard questions on a field trip and surprise the guide…makes me feel like they actually might listen to me sometimes.

6.  yesterday’s rain washing the bird poop off my car so i didnt have to do it.

7.  coolers that have wheels.

8.  unsubscribing to junk emails and knowing you won’t have to deal with them anymore.

9.  my teaching partner jenn’s laugh because she laughs all the time and it is such a cheerful sound.

10.  having a spare set of keys.

    Sorry I haven’t been very faithful lately! However, I was watching Sister Act tonight too, with Jeremy and he was making fun of me singing along to Salve Maria!

    1. Quietly singing the Sister Act version of each song during mass with my sisters – and with anyone I go to mass with, but they just don’t appreciate it as much!
    2. Food right off the grill at work – so it’s not cold!
    3. Jeremy coming over tonight when I thought he was going to be with his friends all night!
    4. Laughing when a friend and I have the same very odd reactions.
    5. Living vicariously through other people.
    6. Taking the shorter walk because Mom and I were both tired
    7. Praying a rosary on the way to work instead of listening to the radio.
    8. People I work with bringing me a candy bouquet because I am leaving soon – SOO nice!
    9. Doing more work than necessary so the next shift can relax a little more.
    10. 5 more days of work!
