Things making me happy today (sorry, but I'm sure I can be spared ONE nauseating entry per blog lifetime):

• A primavera tree across the street that I never noticed before, that I can see blooming from my 7th Avenue door.
• From an Advertiser article on Windward flooding, we unpacked a science lesson, a vocabulary lesson, and a math lesson. They also begged to do a Reading Log on the article. No sh*t.
• Getting here before 6:50 a.m. and getting the xeroxing done before 7:20.
• Girls Day roses from Uncle Tufi's cousin.
• St. Patrick's mahi (thank you, David!)
• June and Johnny :)
• And of course:
  

Kids are going to finish "Corpse Bride" this afternoon (had to double-check that it really was rated PG) and then we'll call it a week.

a ray of light has pierced
my whole day, but i must ask:
was it the latte?
