Today I...

I use this format in the beginning of the year with my first grade bloggers.  I decided to use it for today's Slice since I am running out of both time and inspiration.

Today I ...
hugged my pillow a little bit tighter because I did NOT want to get out of bed.
Today I…
smelled fresh coffee brewing in the kitchen since my husband makes it before leaving for work.
Today I…
called my mom on my way to work because she's an early riser and I like checking in with her.
Today I…
missed four of my first graders because they were absent.  The room felt different without them.
Today I
laughed with my first graders because they are always very entertaining.
Today I …
talked and listened.  Hopefully, I did more listening than talking.
Today I…
was hugged, complimented, smiled at, and questioned.  Spencer enjoys asking me lots of questions.
Today I…
felt a gentle breeze move across my face as I waited with my students in the pick-up line.
Today I…
squinted at the sun's brilliance and immediately reached for my sunglasses.
Today I…
called out to a young man who I thought was my nephew, only to find out, it wasn't him.
Today I…
spent way more money at the grocery store than I originally intended.  So, what else is new?
Today I…
am writing my next to last Slice (for this challenge) while dinner is baking in the oven.

I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
