Today, I rewarded myself with lots of rest, reading and a trip to Target.
My favorite part of the day today was running into a college friend outside the Target parking lot, buying my Slice of Life little gifts for my kindergarten students inside Target, and while walking outside Target, my son telling me thank you for buying him something. I love that we have taught our 2 kids to thank us for buying them things, and not to take us for granted. It such an important life lesson to teach kids today.
Day 24 of my slice of life was short and sweet, kind of like how my day was like today...
Traveled the world as an expat in 2010 and 2011, only to return back to the United States, a stronger and a more global person. Trying to balance having a full-time job as a teacher, being a mom of 2 active kids, and being a wife. Learned so much about the world and different cultures, will I ever feel comfortable again in my own culture?
Very sweet! I remember one time when my now grown-up son was little, and I put popsicles in the grocery cart, and he started clapping and saying "Yea! Mom!" Nothing like a heartfelt thanks to brighten your day!
