Today it's my birthday! This morning I woke up early to get ready to spend another day with my fifth graders. Jason had a late night studying the past couple of nights, and he still got to sleep for another hour. When I went into the bathroom, I was a little disappointed that the mirror wasn't decorated in dry erase marker and that their weren't any flowers or anything. That's what Mom always did, and I loved that tradition! I couldn't expect Jason to do that though, since I never told him about it. (I'll have to change that!) Anyways, when I went back into our room though awhile later, there was a great big gift bag and a little one and a card on my side of the bed. Jason was "asleep" on his side still. I was very happily surprised! That was thoughtful of him! The card was really sweet. It's always disappointing to get a great looking card and to open it up and have it say "love, Bob," or whoever, and that's it. :) Dad's always make me cry, of course, but I like it. I'm glad Jason is a good card maker. Maybe by the time he's forty something, he'll write as long of notes as Dad does.
Last night Jason mentioned that we should eat right after he gets home from class tonight (I think he's planning something for tonight). I was a little sad that I'd have to grow up and make my own birthday dinner. He did bring up that we'd already had my birthday dinner Saturday night at Johnny Carino's though. So whatever. But then I got home today from school and on the dry erase board in the kitchen said "I fibbed. Don't touch anything in this kitchen! Love, Jason. :)" That made my day even better! I can't wait to see what else he does!!
Oh, my fifth graders were so great today. I made them cupcakes to celebrate my birthday, which they loved. All of them told me happy birthday at least a half a dozen times, it seemed. During lunch, the office lady came in saying they had flowers delivered for Mrs. Scoresby. I was surprised and thought, "oh, so this is what Jason has up his sleeve?" but it wasn't from him! It was from Melissa, one of my students. I guess her mom owns a flower shop, and she wanted to give me some. I got a beautiful peach rose with glitter sprayed on it (my favorite) with little bluish-purple flowers around it. It's beautiful! That was so thoughtful of her.
Can't wait to find out what Jason has planned for tonight! He always thinks up the sweetest things.
