One more day, one more day, one more day… I kept chanting this to myself over and over again today. The kids were vibrating with excess energy. We had a long Christmas concert at the end of the school day, and as you looked across the gym, it was nothing but a sea of wiggles…I … Continue reading »

The Countdown Begins
Such a Monday. It was a long day, and my food was all meh. It all tasted fine, but everything I did today was rushed, and that led to less than inspired meals. Breakfast was ever-present fruit cereal. One apple, one banana, sun butter and vanilla soy milk. Black coffee in the back. I came … Continue reading »
Cookies, Cookies Everywhere
Here I am before I left for the cookie exchange… and after! Look at all the variety… I somehow managed to only eat one of these (the chocolate buck eyes you see right in front) before dinner. Sweet potato with black beans. I cooked the ‘tater in the microwave for 6 minutes, then cut it … Continue reading »
Weekend Update
I’ve still been eating… but not as much blogging, as things are starting to get busy and hectic with the upcoming holiday! I only really have 4 days left until Christmas Break (yeah, I still call it Christmas break, rather than Winter Break, because, well…I celebrate the birth of Christ). Friday morning started off green! … Continue reading »
Food Waster
I like to eat, eat, eat, apples and bananas…. I’m pretty sure fruit cereal is climbing the charts on its way to my favorite breakfast. Just an apple and a banana this morning – with cinnamon and vanilla soy milk. Coffee in the background. At school, I was (again) surprised by our monthly staff luncheon. … Continue reading »
One Hour Delay
I woke up and it was twenty-two degrees BELOW zero. Insanity. I’m moving to Arizona. Because of the chilly weather – we had a one hour school delay, which means nothing for teachers because we have to be there on time anyway – but I did get an extra hour of plan time chatting with … Continue reading »
BLD and TBL
B is for breakfast – small but good. Three squares of baked tofu, dipped in hummus. L is for lunch – quick and delicious. Leftover chili, 2 carrots dipped in sun butter, 2 fudge babies, and hot water sipped out of a cheery Christmas mug. D is for dinner – the best kind of a … Continue reading »
Denim and Dropping Temperatures
Brr! It’s so stinkin’ cold here in Colorado! I’m not even sure the temperature got into the double digits today – eek! I did some easy yogadownload this morning – and then made-over some of Meeker’s dinner from last night. The black beans, corn, and tomatoes were already in the fridge, and I added spinach … Continue reading »
Half Baked
No, I didn’t spend the day channeling this 90s stoner flick, but I did find myself alternating between baked and raw foods all day. After church, I made some baked tofu and a ½ a baked sweet ‘tater. The tofu inspiration came from Cait, and I added hummus to upgrade to full hippy status. I … Continue reading »
