Tangled Thoughts

Over the past couple of years, I have slowly found myself in a position of teaching preschoolers…and shock of all shock, I enjoy it. Scratch that. I love it. I found my people in a group of 3 and 4 year olds.

As the years have passed, I’ve been given more and more freedom in the room and have even flown solo in a group of preschoolers where I am far outnumbered.

While I have never really had, long-term goals in life -I can say without hesitation, that being a preschool teacher, full-time, is something I am pursuing. So, you know, stay tuned.

All that is to say, that today I was in the preschool room again and was looking for a fun, (but easy) but messy! -activity.

Yoshi Style

Late last year, Yoshi started to favor one of her back legs. A trip to the vet determined that she had “ruptured a ligament” in her knee.

It was a fairly common injury the vet assured me and there were three options: Do nothing. Send her North for the “Golden package” which would roughly cost the price of a small apartment, or the middle option -a more reasonable fix that would allow her to run again, but would require some extensive post therapy.

It all happened around the time when I was busy taking advantage of my travel freedoms and jetting here and there like there was no tomorrow. I put the decision off until a few months later when she started to carry her leg full time. I ran the numbers and determined the cost of her pain meds would quickly justify the middle option for surgery and booked her an appointment.

Day seven.

Well, we made it to Friday. Does it matter? I’m not really sure anymore!

But we made it. One week is in the books. So. I guess it counts.

I haven’t been to Coast Guard Beach since I was probably six. The only thing I remember about it was on our back -someone got stung by a bee. And then I was tasked with carrying the pink coat -which in my mind, was the reason behind the bee sting. It was a very long walk back knowing that at any minute I could be taken down by the bee.

There were no bees today. Just me and this one:

Day six.

Ward Creek was a fun trail that I will be frequenting more this summer. It was a great alternative to the ever popular Ward Lake. Miss Yoshi enjoyed her off leash time.

Day Five.

I debated about including today’s walk on my list, because it is a popular walk and one that we’ve done countless times. But we got out and did it, so I suppose that counts.

In other news, well, there really isn’t any other news.

Except that I locked my keys in my truck today. Dad was attempting to break in through the drivers side (this is important info). It took a few minutes before I realized he was trying to hit the unlock button from the window…the unlock button doesn’t work on the driver side. So he went to the passenger side. Where he discovered the window was down. Completely. So. There’s that. We’re ok. I’m ok. It’s ok.
