Keep your fingers crossed that I’m able to get back to the classroom tomorrow for some quick preparations for second semester!

SpeakerSue shared this on her blog, but I had to share it here just for the sheer child advocacy of it all in regard to what our children see and think about when they watch television and movies today. Mr. Rogers is speaking before the Senate in this video, regarding funding for PBS, seven months before I was born:

* We opened, emptied and broke down 20+ more boxes downstairs yesterday. Now there are piles of books, equipment, baskets and more books all over the place, effectively replacing the stacks of boxes. Messy, messy, messy, but still a sign of progress.
* Dear Husband will have an office this year. It might not be the largest place to hang his work hat, but he’ll be able to take some of his military decor with him to spruce things up a bit. Once I’m able to get into my classroom, all of my classroom materials, decor, and books will be out of our house as well. It will be interesting to see how the whole home decor thing works out afterward. No Army influences, no kindergarten themes- just who we are outside of the workplace with our family.
* I’ve found my seat cushions and Somerset Magazines. They were in boxes marked “Baskets” and “Outdoor Storage.” The seat cushions were used in our dining room year ’round, and the magazines were in my creative cubby space. Neither were used near baskets or outdoor storage. The box marked “Baskets” plural had only one basket in it. I know. I’m a nitpick.
* Amanda at GoodyBlog got my toddler’s attention this morning when she posted this:
Happy Tuesday!

…and I admit, they kind of freaked me out! Thanks, Mummenschanz.

What are some of your favorite “versions?” Dear Daughter is crushed I haven’t included anything by Hilary Duff…*sigh*…I just couldn’t do it. My iPod will be shuffling through music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s…new John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Goldfrapp, with Journey/Steve Perry as my usual reliable motivator. Of course America will keep me in the driving groove:

No, it’s not the sappy country song.
Matt and his friends had me smiling and even crying as I watched this video. If it’s grainy on my blog, just go here and click on the blue link “watch in high quality” underneath the video box, turn up your volume, and be inspired.
This…is…good. So…good.
