Post #555 - a post about nothing in particular

This is one of the two personal days I get per year. I always save them until the end of the year in case I have an emergency. But then I get to the end of the year and realize that I can't take a day off because there is too much to do. But I did anyway. How can you just give up a day off? That's why I'm blogging at 9:28am, contemplating doing laundry and going to the gym or Walmart to get my oil changed.
At school my students have been taking standardized tests. They have been so good about it, and have been trying so hard. I'm really proud! I think Kindergarten is a little young for standardized test (ya think?) but they think it's a pretty fun game and it makes them feel like big kids so I guess there's no harm done.
Well, the day stretches out before me and I'm sure it will be gone before I know it. I went to a Christian elementary school and in the morning we would always sing, "this is the day, this is the day that the Lord hath made..." What a great start remember that God made this day, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Of course, it's a little easier to "be glad in it" when you have the day off, but you get the idea. I think there is a treadmill with my name on it...
