Oh, Wow

I can hardly believe that it is almost Friday. It was a super fast week with a bunch of slow days. Does that make sense to anyone but me?

I did manage to do some crazy and entertaining things in the last week or so. I headed to Denver this week and it was warmer in Denver than it was back home! Crazy. We were walking around without coats and enjoying the wonderful clean air that Denver has. If there is a draw back to living in Utah, it is the air quality. Yikes. The drive there was pretty awesome. Started out nice and calm and about the time we hit the Wyoming state line the fog and snow hit. It went from about 36 (at 6am) to 0 degrees in a matter of a few minutes. There was two inches of ice caked onto my antenna. It was crazy. By the time we hot Rock Springs it had cleared out but still, it was crazy for a while there. The rest of the drive was great. The flight home was nice too. I slept most of it though, I was just wiped out.

Speaking of being wiped out, that is what I have been lately. No cold or anything, just wiped out. Not fun.

On Wednesday morning I was working and had about 13 kids and was waiting for the other two teachers to come. One of my regulars and totally sweet little girls came up to me with tears in her eyes and wanted me to hold her. I did, wondering what was going on. Then the burps started and I had the presence of mind to turn her off my shoulder and toward the floor right before she threw up. She was upset and not feeling well and the other kids were all curious. So I had to comfort the one and occupy the others on the other side of the room. Once I got them settled for a split second I opened up the door and made frantic hand gestures to the front desk guy. He came running and looked scared out of his pants as I asked him to just sit with the kids while I went and got the mom. I ran down the stairs and into class and back up the stairs with the mom trailing behind. I got my kids calm again and started the cleaning up process. Have I mentioned I hate cleaning up puke? I do. But it was that or kids crawling in it or trying to pick up and put in their mouths. Babies don't have any sense of grossness. About the time I got everything cleaned up, kids settled and the sick one out the door (mom didn't know she was sick, by the way. She was happy and didn't seem sick when she got there) the other teachers showed up. Needless to say it took half an hour for the adrenaline to wear off.

I spent one afternoon making yummy cookies that I should have taken pictures of, but I was too busy enjoying them to take pictures. I kind of love making cookies. The best part? Leaving all but a few at someone else's house. No cookies to much at home. Too bad I caved at the store and bought some this week. Oh well. One a day wont hurt me too bad. At least that is what I tell myself.
