Grace, Patience, and the Zoo Field Trip
I took a small group of 1st graders around the zoo on Friday. So, how was YOUR week?? I was actually really nervous about the whole deal, but I just kept promising myself it would all work out. It ALWAYS does, in the end. Well...I didn't set myself up for a very good start, because I also promised myself I would go to bed extra early the night before. And THAT didn't go well!! Of course, since I awoke VERY tired and equally cranky, the traffic was ALSO full of morons to my left and idiots on my right. (I'm sorry!! I'm sorry.
