Highlights of My Day...Thursday November 17

1. Rushed back to my house only to leave a "lose or die" file in the back of my taxi cab. Sat outside on the curb side for about 20 mins until I realized that the cabbie wasn't coming back. Went to school all teary-eyed.
2. Admit that I must be the worse mother in the world for Daewoo... originally had opened my window so that I could hear whether or not the cab was going to return my lost file. Mind you, I left for work and totally forgot about it. Came home to a shaking Daewoo!
3. Had open house with my Wisdom class and so all my students' mothers came to sit in on the class. It was a great success with the exception of Hanna's mother who was shocked at the fact that her daughter didn't do good. How she expects her to learn anything when she sends her 40 mins late is what shocks me.
4. Picked up an extra class.... tutoring Wisdom Hanna everyday at 8:30am.
5. Busted my butt the rest of the day trying to recover and print up info from that "lose or die" file. Ah the stress!
6. While brushing my teeth at school, kinder Peace class Daniel (my little Korean husband) snuck up and gave me the biggest smack on my butt. Boy did that little guy have power in his swing. I'm convinced those in the teacher's lounge heard my scream!
7. Found out where all the stuffing Daewoo's been chewing on is coming from. Great... add that to the list of repairs couticy of Daewoo.
8. Got 21 emails from family members back in Canada who decided to send one-liner emails to each other while at work/home.... it's called msn ladies. Check it out, PLEASE!
9. Am convinced that some of my family members have way too much time on their hands. Here's an email from my cousin Kimberly...
