Things I Wish I Could Do Every Day...but Couldn't

Last week  I wrote a post about the seven things I did on a daily basis.

That led me thinking of things I wished I could do every day but couldn't.

1. Travel to nice places.
   
2. Cook excellent meals.

3. Eat as much of my favorite dishes and desserts without ever gaining a pound.

4. Sleep for at least ten hours.

5. Pet puppies.

6. Read good novels.

7. Watch feel-good movies.

What about you?  What do you wish you could do every day?

What I'm Thinking of Today and Some Quotes

I just can't understand why some parents would get mad at teachers if their children got a low grade or a failing score at the end of the year.

We give extensions of deadlines, give considerations, lower our standards in grading projects and themes, we offer help after class but sometimes these are still not enough for some students and they still fail.  And

then the parents get mad which, I think, is so unfair.

Sometimes I am inclined to think that maybe parents think the  teachers are just making the grades up.  Goodness gracious! That is far from reality.  We spend so much time checking seatworks, quizzes, theme papers, projects and exams, so much time encoding them, so much time rechecking what we have encoded in the system just so we can end up with a grade that  truly represents a child's performance.

Anyway, I was trying to destress earlier and saw some interesting quotes on Pinterest.

Breakfast Surprise

In my attempt to finish all my requirements for my clearance, I decided to stay in the library the whole morning.  But since the library opens at 8:00 and I didn't want to wait in the faculty room, Ruel took me to a famous coffee shop nearby where we both could do our work peacefully while having breakfast.

I saw this on their on their menu and ordered it. 

To my surprise and disappointment I got these.

Do you see the difference between what I ordered and what I got?  Well, it wasn't the first time this happened to me, but I wasn't expecting this big a difference from a well-known and upper-class coffee place.

Good thing the omelette and toast tasted great.  Otherwise, I would probably have complained....like I always do when this happens.

Tuesday Topics v. 1

I was not really planning to write a post today but as I was reading some blogs, I saw a link-up called Tuesday Topics on Tiffany's blog.

Thought it was fun, so here I am, typing away and making this post.  I guess I'm a little late, I'm starting at seven but what the heck.

Here are the seven things I do every day.

1.  Of course, I take a bath and brush my teeth.  Now that it's summer I often take a shower three times
     a day.
2.  I tell my son I love him before I go to work and before I sleep at night.
3.  I make a small cross on my son's forehead, I use my thumb to do this.  I do this before I leave for
    work.
4.  I tell my husband I love him.
5. I eat meals thrice a day and snacks twice a day.
6. I check my facebook and read blogs that I follow.
7. I pray several times a day.

So these are the things that I normally do every day.   And then in between all those, I ....

....daydream
---drink, and crave for something sweet to drink
---look at myself in the mirror (I'm not that vain, but I haven't met a girl who doesn't like looking at the
    mirror.
....think about my fears (I'm a little paranoid)
....call my dog
....laugh out loud
..
That's all I can recall for now.

What do you do every day?
