Smurf Bath Rings & Punctuation

Before I begin my evening, a quick note of thanks for things that made me happy today.

I am so thankful that I found a purple Smurfette shirt for under $15. I love that the Smurfs are French and am seriously considering basing my entire French 8 curriculum on them. Surely the 40 kids (plus 5 special needs students who will be in the class but not actually taking the course) I will have in each section next year will love it.

I give thanks for the relaxing powers of a bubble bath. Yippee for a house with a deep bath tub.

And thank you to the paramedic for letting me wear my wedding ring around the house... and not laughing at me... well, to my face anyway.

Finally, I am thankful for punctuation because without it it would look like I was talking bath rings in the shape of Smurfs. Good punctuation is an important skill but probably something that the 45 plus kids in my Language Arts 8 class can do without - I mean, we have spell & grammar check, write?
