Dinner (just one, so far)
Yogurt Mess – plain yogurt, applesauce, walnuts, an Oatie, cinnamon squares, almond butter
I woke up with no patience today – and my students pushed me beyond my limits. Teaching 8 year olds to be kind and compassionate to each other is a tough job – especially when one goes to work feeling neither kind nor compassionate. I’m a good faker – but I came home drained. After a long phone conversation with my Daddy and a prayerful 30 minutes in a hot bath, I flushed 4 lbs. of ice down the toilet in hopes of a snow day tomorrow.

Aww, I’ll hope for a snow day for you too! Feel better! I know that children are our future, but they also kind of suck sometimes.
Firstly, kudos to you for even faking it. It’s hard for me to muster up enough energy to even fake it some days. That shows you care.
Secondly, we ALL have those days. I definitely hope you get your snow but if you don’t, everything will look better tomorrow regardless. It always does.
aww you deserve some ME time!! you are awesome.
your yogurt mess still looks great
and im obsessed w. those amazing almonds!
I’m sorry you had a rough day.
You just made me crave delicious scrambled eggs.
Sorry to hear about the rough day…talking to my daddy always makes me feel better too! I love the carrots + hummus arrangement!
Sorry you had a rough day, only 2 more till the weekend. The carrots in hummus looks like a bouquet of health! If you ever want to meet up for a weekend reprieve, I’d be happy to
Well, you do have one of the toughest positions out there! It must be pretty rewarding though and i think that it’s so cool that you get up everyday to go teach/interact with an entire classroom full of kids! Kind of inspiring! And on top of all of that, your food presentation skills cannot be outmatched… I have literally had the carrot/hummus combination no less than 100 times, and it has NEVER resembled anything close to that flowery looking goodness! I am also impressed with the dinner, your bowls are so nice, where do you get all of them?
I’m so sorry you had a rough day! I couldn’t imagine be a teacher you have to have so much patience and that is something I lack, you are amazing for doing it everyday! I hope you get your snow day
ugh. so sorry. hopefully you have been sleeping for hours now and tomorrow WILL be better. always feels better to type it out though, doesn’t it?
I hope you get your day off tomorrow! Good news is that hump day is OVER!
PERFECT orange and love the Cabbage/broccoli slaw. That’s how i roll..daily. love my brock!
Hope you get that snow day!
Hope your snow day came for ya! We all need that break sometimes.
Oh, and can I just say how happy I am to see someone else drinking hot water? Haha…I’m constantly heating up water to drink when it’s freezing outside, and I always thought I was the only one who did that.
Aww I hope today is better!! Hopefully you’ve gotten your snow day and you can relax!
I hope today is better!! I think teachers are the most special people in this world and I truly admire you!!
Sorry about the rough day. I’m terrible at faking it, so I admire that you have that quality!
Oops…we all have those days! Did you really flush 4 lbs. of ice down the toilet? Really? Maybe Friday will be a snow day!
I really did.
oh girl, i am sorry about your rough day! that is one reason i totally applaud teachers because i would NOT have the patience to do what you do!
in brighter things, your carrots are like a bouquet, and i am loving your snacky meal kinda day. LOVE YOU!
Trying to teach them at home isn’t any better or easier. Mine has been driving me crazy! I don’t think she’s ever going to get it!!!! I can’t imagine having a room full of them. Bless you! You really are doing a fabulous job. Sorry it was a rough one!
