LIST
- Write a list right now of things that you appreciate right now in the present moment. Even when life seems to be going incredibly bad, there are always things to be happy about and thankful for. Focus on each thing and feel the happiness fill up inside you.
- See if you can develop an appreciation for a band or style of music you've never liked before
- Turn up music you really love. Play it so loudly that it soaks through your skin. Dance around in your pajamas. Feel the pain lift.
- Watch or listen to a comedian.

Monday at work I had asked one of my students (Kayleigh) if i could have a piece of paper because she had this special notepad ha. She gave me a piece and after about an hour she came up to me and asked, "Miss Brooke.. Have you written on that paper I gave you yet?". "Nope, not yet. Why?" I asked. " And she replied, "Oh just wonderin..." and ran back to play with her friends. About 30 min later Kayleigh came up to me again and asked if I had written on her paper yet. "No, I still haven't. Did you need it?" I replied. "Ummm yes." She said. So I gave Kayleigh her paper back. A few minutes later, she brought me the paper with a picture she had drawn and told me that she drew the picture for me:). I Asked her for another piece of paper, because she drew on mine, and I drew a picture for her in return.As I was in my 2nd class for the day, I had noticed a fresh cut on a little boy's chin (Alexis).
-Shalyn- "What happened to your chin Alexis?"
-Alexis- "I went out to the woods and a big bear scratched me."
-Me- "Ok Alexis, tell me the truth. How did you get that scratch on your chin?"
-Alexis- "THE BIG BEAR!"
That was his story and he was stickin to it haha.. Yes, we put this on the incident report lol.

Story from work (two kids in my pre-k class)
-Camron- Poking and making noises in Alyssa's ear
-Alyssa- "Camron! Stop!" Does it back to him
-Me- "Alyssa, hands to yourself please"
-Camron- Does it again
-Alyssa-"Stop it! I'm telling..." Comes up to me and tells on Cameron
-Me- "If Cameron is bugging you, then you can sit over here away from him."
-Alyssa- "But I want to sit by him" :)
-Me- "If your sitting by him, he's just going to keep doing the same thing."
-Alyssa- "So, ummm.. Can I annoy him?"
After work Jhy came over to run some errands with me. On our way out of the neighborhood, She gets a call from her girl friend... Stranded and out of gas hahaha. So we took a slight detour to save Paola. I knew there was a reason I kept that gas can in the trunk of my car. After this adventure, Jhy and I went to "Party City" for some supplies. That store was way too entertaining :) . While we were goin up and down the isles messin around with all the party favors and accessories, I look behind me and see Jhy with her two index fingers stuck in one of those Chinese wood chip finger trap things haha. I literally busted up laughing while she kept trying to pull her fingers out and it started tearing. Laughed so hard that I started crying and just about peed my pants haha.
Late Tuesday night, I got ready for bed, took out my comp and looked up some music on youtube. The 2nd thing on my list was to try to develop an appreciation for a band or style of music that I've never liked. I had never really been familiar with dubstep music but had heard it around since I moved here so I looked up "Skrillex" and just "dubstep" in general. Turned out I really do like it so I downloaded some to my i tunes ha :). Naturally that lead into the 3rd thing on my list which was dancing around my house in my pj's to my new music. I wasn't able to completely blast it unfortunately because by this time it was about 1:30am and G & T were asleep in the room above me ha. But I did have a pretty good jam and dance sesh around the TV room. Harley didn't know what the hell was goin on, but she liked it haha. She started jumpin around and wanting to play.

After work, I made brownies and homemade frosting with Jhy. Next time we'll check what we have and what we need.. before we go to the store to get the ingredients haha durrrr. Trip one to the store: brownie mix, sprinkles, powdered sugar. Trip two to the store: Milk. Trip three ...... to the neighbors: oil. Anyhow, the brownies turned out great. rather pretty. I forgot to take pics of them unfortunately :( but one batch of brownies had white frosting with blue and red stripes of sprinkles and it said "4th of July" in those candy letter things. The other batch had chocolate frosting and said " Marias magic brownies 65321", (I had the 4 on mine lol) with blue and red sprinkles.
