Well, today I had another first in my life. Normally "firsts" happen when you're little like first step, first word, etc, but even as we grow older we experience new and exciting things. I'm not so sure this one was exciting, but it was a first. I've witnessed this particular first before with little ones, but never in a formal school setting. Last year, I made it very clear to my students that I didn't want to experience it; if they needed to they could just run. So, if you haven't guessed it by now, one of my little students tossed her cookies today. Right before dismissal too. 10 more minutes and she would have been with mom. One of the other teachers was trying to clean it up. I was like what are you doing, we don't do that, custodians have special stuff for that. Hopefully, that will be the first and last time I see it this year.
In other news I made Christmas cookies today. Fun! They weren't my normal batch of homemade sugar cookies, but they will suffice. The teachers at preschool are doing some kind of gift exchange, but I didn't have a clue what to get them so they're getting muffins and cookies. I would like that gift. Let's see, I also did some laundry and light cleaning today. It's been productive and it's only 4:30. We'll see what else I can get into.
Back to school tomorrow. 2 more days...which is good because I've totally checked out. I'm ready to be home.

I can't believe that you titled this post, "Christmas Cookies" and you told a story about a kid tossing her cookies and a story about you making cookies.
For the rest of my days, when I hear the phrase, "Christmas Cookies", it will have new meaning.
I really didn't plan the whole correlation although I wish it did, it's great irony. I just wanted to say something more creative than vomit or throw up. :D
Holy Hole in the donut..... bring some of those cookies (on the table) home. Umm Umm good!
