7 things

1. The more strawberries you whack into your smoothie - the more delicious it will become.
2. It is not a good sign when you have to change your summer slippers for big woolen winter ones :(
3. Sometimes you have to learn to be patient. 
4. If you think your evening couldn't possibly get any worse, you could always smash open a large glass bottle of cinnamon all over the floor. (two days after you exploded four eggs all over your kitchen.) [yeah, high five me.]
5. Grammar and spelling are important, capital letters - i feel not so much.
6. When you have six year old second language students asking you what a predicate is, you know you're in for a rough year.
7. Sometimes if you're feeling low - you need to adopt this mantra:
   "You have five minutes to wallow in the delicious misery. Enjoy it, embrace it, discard ...and proceed" - Elizabeth Town.
