my date with kevin henkes

At the end of every week (and by the end, i mean wednesday night) i have to ask myself- why am i so tired?
the answer is, simply, because im a perfectionist, and an arts-and-crafts gifted perfectionist to make it worse. how do i know? because only perfectionists do things like spend 2 hours mixing paints trying to achieve the perfect color of purple to go on the background of a tri-fold board. only perfectionists spend hours making sure all the colors on a project are balanced and beautiful, and that the book covers being matted match the mat better than the rest. what else do perfectionists do? stay up this late working on an ed school project. and then stay up to journal about it. ughhh my life is so awkward.

but my project looks awesome

i got to go observe in a pre-k classroom today, and i can say that one of the things i am most excited for when i get to be a teacher is buying and wearing teachers clothes. my outfit today just made my whole day, you know? i think secretly, maybe not so secretly, i aspire to be one of those cute teachers. yeah. thats what i want to be i think.

another highlight from today was grocery shopping. i hadnt been shopping in about a month and a half, so after getting over the fact that i hate spending money on food, i got to go to the grocery store and spend a good hour there walking up and down every aisle. except the pet care aisle, of course. and even though i spent $120 there, i saved $30 with my kroger card. im genuinely excited about this. i would say im passionate about grocery shopping. its one of my mom qualities i think.

is my strong desire to be a mom/ many mom-like qualities potentially scary for potential boyfriends? because i dont want it to be. i just get really excited about it, but i dont want anyone running away because they think a date is a committment to help me raise our children someday. it doesnt matter anyways, i was just wondering.

ok. i want to go to bed tonight, as wussy as it sounds. i need to run tomorrow, so. you know.
buenos noches!
