12 of 31: Twelve Truths on the Twelfth

Thanks to a post I read yesterday ("SOLSC Day 11: Truths"), I was inspired to write my own list of truths.

So here are 12 of my truths on this twelfth day of March:

1.  I love couch-potato Sundays, especially when Morgan is cooking in the kitchen, and I can smell his concoctions from my reclined position. (Sometimes I take off my fitbit to remove any physical evidence of how few steps I take on these Sundays)

2.  I would rather read a book than watch television. (I must admit that the occasional Netflix binge does interrupt my reading from time to time)

3.  I love superhero movies. Iron Man, Thor, Superman, or even better Superman vs. Batman, Transformers, X-Men, you name it, I'll go the movie theater to watch it! (I will probably also buy the DVD once it's released)

4.  I love my nieces and nephews and secretly wish they could be a bit more like Peter Pan and never grow up! (So I will always have my ruse to see animated movies at the theater)

5.  I think I prefered life before cell phones. (I unplug from mine as often as I can)

6.  I still confuse my right and left. (Morgan knows to point so that I will turn the correct way while driving or when he's driving he'll point just to verify I actually meant the direction I said - it's usually about 50-50)

7.  I am a terrible speller. I had to look up how to spell twelfth. (I blame it on seeing so much inventive spelling from my 7th graders that I can no longer discern how words are actually spelled, but the truth is that I think I gave up when I lost a 6th grade spelling bee because I couldn't spell canoe)

8.  I hate running. (I'm only going to run if I'm being chased...like by a rabid dog or something equally frightful)

9.  I love yoga and think we should incorporate an hour of yoga and mindfulness into our schools each and every day. (I really think this could make all the difference for many children...and teachers)

10. Pop music from the 80's makes me tremendously happy. (Morgan tolerates this passion but doesn't quite understand it)

11. I have already started to count the days remaining until summer vacation (I'm a chronic counter...I also count how many papers I have left to grade even when I just counted two papers ago)

12. I really didn't want to participate in this writing challenge. (But I'm so very glad that I did...even on the days when it is really difficult to write)
