A Good Start

Good morning, starshine! The earth says hello!

This is one of Aly's favorite lines from that movie, which we watch practically almost everyday from the day I bought it.  Malapit ko na ma-memorize yung dialogue, promise!  Even so, everytime she hears that line, she can't help but giggle.

Anyway, this line says a lot about how our morning went today.  Aly finished her breakfast early and that pretty much made the rest of our morning go smoothly.  Most of the time, I have to remind her several times to eat faster because we're running late and that would put our entire morning ritual off.  I hate when that happens because it makes me really stressed and kinda masungit.  We had none of that today.  After her bath, we still had time to cut her nails and we had a little more time to spare so we took a leisurely walk to school --  more often than not, we'd be brisk-walking to school because we're usually running late so today is a good day.

Even the school seemed to be off with a good start: the flag ceremony went well and that made Mr. Weaver very happy.  By going well, I meant the Thai flag was up even before the national anthem ended.  Yesterday was the worst, because the flag was only halfway up by the time the song was finished.  I mean, really now, how hard can it be?  Well, today it was perfect and that made Mr. Weaver smile and that doesn't happen very often either.

Yes, today is a good day :)
