Beat this!

I am feeling on top of the world!!!
And nobody can beat this!!!

So doing Health with my students today...start of a new topic....Being Fit!
Very appropriate!
What does it mean to be fit?
Students "To be skinny" "To not be fat" "fat people aren't fit" "to exercise" "to eat well" etc etc etc.
Me "Ok, so today a teacher told me they were going to have a go at running because i have inspired them. They ran 50m and out of breathe. I can run 5km.  They would weigh about 15kg lighter then me. So who is fit? The thin person or the overweight person?"
Student "But you aren't overweight, you are normal" (Then to a friend "She isn't fat, why would she say she is? I dont get it!")

OMG!
People see me as "NORMAL"!
That is just an amazing compliment! He has no idea that he has made my day, week, month, term!
This is the first time a student has commented on my weight. And to comment/compliment without even realising it!

I am normal!
Well, officially overweight but now...people see me as normal! Is that a sad state on our perception of normal???
NOOOOO!!!!! Couldn't be!
I am NORMAL!!!

And...on a non weight issue...a bit of an update on my relationship with my DH.
I had kinda come to the realisation that our marriage is dead and that I need to leave. I haven't been able to. I see him with my daughter and I just love watching them together. right now i cannot take her away from that love he gives her.
So anyway, i have just been living side by side with him.

Today, he was online trying to get cheap Bali tickets for next year. And he booked for DD as well. I didn't want to take her until the year later. Anyway, about 10 mins later he pipes up "I have booked a surprise trip for november, just us. I spoke to your dad and he is happy for him and your mum to babysit. I am just a bit worried about your reports being due, but booked anyway".
I am like "WTF?"
a. he booked a surprise trip, which unfortunately isn't a surprise anymore :(
b. he realises i have reports!
c. he knows when reports are due
d. he took into account my job before booking
e. he thought i would appreciate the time out at that time of the year!

so, for someone who is money stingy, unaffectionate, never says he loves me, doesn't talk to anyone and MUST have order/structure/routine (OMG he sounds autistic!)...he has done something spontaneous, chosen the place I LOVE the most in the world (of all the places i have been, which are few) and kept it a secret for about 2 months! he has also conversed with someone to help organise the trip!

So does that suggest that somewhere, deep inside, he does love me?

So everyone...I dare you...BEAT MY DAY! :)
