You wouldn't think....

...that a little can of Pepsi would be the highlight of my day, but it was!

Parent/Teacher conferences are today and tomorrow, and unless you're a teacher, you really don't know the stress it puts teachers under. While some conferences go fine, others are difficult as we have to often deliver less-than-ideal news. On top of that, I found out this morning that I had some additional IEP paperwork to do that I didn't know about prior to this morning. Which led to me running around like the world was coming to an end. In fact, I didn't say a word, just moved like I haven't moved in quite a while.

I had been doing well, as I was doing thought bubbles instead of letting the world know I was a bit stressed at that moment. Gotta love BIST training, as they really emphasized the "thought bubble" analogy that I have taken as my own. (Aren't you amazed I actually paid attention on the 3 Saturdays the training was held?)

So, I was in the file room working on the extra paperwork, and my principal walked in with an 8 ounce bottle of Pepsi for me!

I stood there and said, "AWWWWWW how cute! THANKS!" And proceeded back into my little order of chaos that was my life at that moment.

Later in the day I returned to my room after an odd parent/teacher conference and I saw the little can of Pepsi, and it made me smile.

I tell ya, it really doesn't take much to make teachers happy! Seriously...

Life.
Is.
Good.

Especially when someone's nice just because they want to be!
