It is my birthday so I am thinking about birthdays in general. So far I had to come to morning program (6:30 am) because a staff went to the ER yesterday and have a lot of deadlines that I can't figure out how to delegate. But I decided a great way to start a new year is with a clean house and clean slate. I do need a clean slate of attitude and accepting a new how things are at work.

We have few kids in the morning on Friday so I went in 30 minutes later and cleaned my bedroom and my car. I am checking on my deadlines and then cleaning up my rolling to-do list. Our office is a wreck and there is little that can be done with this space this year, but I am cleaning and organizing as much as I can. And I am telling my staff that what I want for my birthday is all the kid program stuff in great shape (all the material in clear boxes with lids and labels, which is how we set it up but it gets messy).

What unique thing do you all do for your birthday?
