Happy Things

• Having Abby Norcross call me "Mrs."
• Mr. Norcross's excitement when he mastered the five-pitcher hold
• Helping a student in Algebra--it's just difficult enough to make me feel smart but not really difficult enough to mean I am smart
• Asking Danielle F., "Isn't this fun?!" about Algebra, and her unimpressed response: "Loads. It's like, unbelievably fun."
• Scheming up wild ideas
• Anticipating shopping
• Taking Mother's Day pictures of the kids
