Christmas in October!!!

Today was like CHRISTMAS in October!!!!!!!!! The mail that I have been waiting for since 10 days ago, finally arrived! After Lauren missed the boat both Wednesday and Friday last week – she finally made it this morning! Seeing all my boxes when I got back from school completely negated the fact that: Tari hadn’t shown up today, Fancy was 20 minutes late this morning and 40 minutes late coming back from lunch, Movie cancelled our PTA meeting for the 4th time in a row, the MOE didn’t show up, and I’m stranded on this crazy island. Despite all of that, a huge smile was able to find my face! I finally got the much anticipated packages from my mom and Phil, I got a surprise one from last years’ volunteer Carrie, I got 2 boxes of healthy food from Danielle, a package from Lauren with donated supplies, and 2 awesome letters from my Begegak and Megan! I was entertained for a LONG time! There were lots of great books for my kids, Halloween candy for our party on Friday, find surprises and reading material for me, and many nice things to read. I love, love, love, mail day!
