Fridays are normally great days - and at work, I try to create an extra fun day for the students. From the afternoon, my remaining kid(s) stay into the evening - as the night sky becomes confused of it's hue, in this time of winter. That's when the craziness begins.

My usual late kid - 3rd grader Faith - enjoys staying late for the "parties" we throw. In fact, as of recently, she has declared me her "brother" - which I find totally rad. Our parties consist of becoming "spies" for the night (in which I am Agent Pickle, and she is Agent Hippo-the-Rhino)... eating snacks outside and telling stories... putting Ritz cardboard boxes on our heads and running into things... or perhaps the occasional doughnut that I buy for us. Either way, it's always a highlight of my day to truly have a fun time - without worrying that I look like a complete idiot. (In which, Faith tells me that I look like one anyway.)

Tonight, Faith and I ate sat on my car, ate a glazed doughnut, and sang out loud at the top of our lungs. Near bystanders possibly thought we were mental.

Also, I got a Nintendo Wii system tonight!! I can't believe it!! It is an early birthday present from my family, and it totally blew me away by surprise. Yessss. I discovered tonight that I rock at Sports bowling. I just want to share that out loud.

BE FREE.
