So tomorrow is the big B-Day and I have to say that I have not been looking
forward to this much at all! I will be 30; just having to type it and look at
it makes me feel old! I know it is just
a number and my family and friends have done a wonderful job of reminding me of
that!
I was checking out blogs for some
school ideas the other day and stumbled upon a kindergarten teacher who was
facing 30 and like me, she was not all that excited about it! She decided
to focus on
the positive and posted 30 things she had accomplished already in her
life and 30 things she would like to do in the next 30 years. (You can check hers out at http://littlemissglamourgoestokindergarten.blogspot.com/search/label/about%20me )
