yum.

I like to get to school a little bit early and sit in my classroom looking over the day's lesson plans with the lights half-off.  It's quiet, calm, collected.  Lately, thanks to the fabulous keurig, I've been enjoying these quiet mornings with a delicious cup of sumatra roast coffee.  And this week, I've discovered that sumatra + chocolate soy milk = BLISS.

Don't get me wrong, I love the kids.  But there's something about those quiet moments alone in the classroom that's just so refreshing--exactly the pick-me-up necessary to get through the day. :)
