Yesterday at school we had a great PARTY for my birthday. I have a parent in my class who loves to do things for the teacher's birthdays, and I was the lucky recipient. I got to walk on the red carpet, wear a beautiful crown, and be the queen for the day. The kids were in heaven (and as crazy as ever).
Birthdays are a big deal when you are little. . . not old like I am getting. Regardless, I love all of the little presents that kids bring. I was a present "recycle" child also, so I guess it is to be expected. I got some random things like a seashell, an old pencil, a pack of smarties, a homemade bookmark, and lots of beautiful pictures.
I think the one that made me laugh the most was a present that I got wrapped in an old, used microwave popcorn bag -- she had put a crown inside of it. . . I am sure I will use that soon! She had decorated the outside of the bag, and told me not to worry that she had cleaned it out (see above). I love it when kids are just kids. I also got flowers, treats and cute little things from kind mothers of my students! 
I have not (and am not) really looking forward to this birthday, but this helped me to remember to just chill out and have fun.
