It's My Birthday!

Daylight Savings is extra rough if you are me and you work with students in China. With the time change I lose an hour of work and when I'm only working 2-3 hours a day that's pretty significant. I decided to try to get up a half hour earlier so as to not lose so much of my paycheck but also so I won't have to get up at 3:45 AM, just 4:15! Ha, Yuck. It's not natural! When I'm starting to work at 4:30 it just doesn't see right! Now my bedtime is 9:00. I really have to plan to make that happen but it has to happen or I don't function well. 

My subbing gig is going well. I had one class that was not listening so I made them run laps. Boom! This should be my last week with this job but the teacher I'm subbing for will find out at her follow up appointment if she can return to work and if she can't I may be working the week after Thanksgiving as well. Either way I get a week off for Thanksgiving. Holla! 

Monday was my birthday. Scott got up early to make me a yummy breakfast before I left to go sub. I got lots of birthday wishes which was nice. After work we went to a Mexican restaurant recommended by a friend and we liked it. We came home and had Costco pumpkin pie (so good)! 

On Saturday some friends took me to breakfast at Kneaders for my b-day. YUM! I still have another rain-check birthday lunch to look forward to. Birthdays are the gifts that keep on giving. LOVE! Later that night Scott and I met up with some friends and had their molted lava cake. 

Scott made dinner all this week and I was able to catch up with stuff like housework and errands over the weekend. I'm ready to face a new week! 

One of my friends bought me some cute workout clothes for my birthday since she knows I'm subbing PE everyday and need them. She also brought over some delicious cupcakes. She's the best!

Scott bought me some birthday flowers and SEE's Chocolates. My favorite!
