We had our end of the year party from 10:30 – 12:45, and it was extremely fun, extremely tiring, and then I babysat for the next 3 hours. Kids are crazy. I’m exhausted.
I had an unbelievable start to the day: 2.5 miles of interval training, and then some weight lifting in our garage gym. Followed by this fantastic breakfast…
Can you imagine anything better after a hard workout?
No, you can’t. Greek yogurt, roasted sweet potato, Kashi Autumn Wheat, peanut butter, cinnamon.
Lunch was pretty sad. Our party was a brunch (translation, I ate lunch at 10:45am) and I had a few handful of pretzels, a slice of bread with turkey/cheese and a slice of banana bread. I wasn’t feeling stellar afterwards. I had an apple later in the afternoon, but when the dinner hour struck, I was craving vegetables.
I cut these bad boys up, popped them in a 400* oven, and then went on a 40 min walk with the doggie. When I got home, they were nice and roasty. I piled them in a bowl, added salsa + hummus + ground flax seed.
Yeeeee-haw. Just what the doctor ordered teacher craved.
In the 3rd grade world…
Well, after dealing with poop yesterday, I was due for a laugh today. After coming inside from our party, the room was a little chaotic. In the 2.5 seconds that I paused to contemplate the best way to calm the room, a little boy got up and yelled:
Sit your asses down, right now!!
I don’t what was funnier…the fact those words came out of a nine year old, or the fact that I wish I could have said them myself.
(Don’t worry…I disciplined the student. He had to write a 3 paragraph essay about “rules of the classroom” and why it’s important to follow them, even when you’re feeling frustrated)


Yuck, sorry you had a stressful day! How many more to go?
Just 3!! Three days!! WHohoooo!
That made me smile ear to ear….I try to not say ass but I say Astronaut….. Oh what a astronaut, sit your astro down! Its quite funny..but I get where that kid was coming from…sit down, shut up b4 we get in trouble!! ha!!!
How did you keep from laughing?!? Hahahah!
I do not think I would have been able to keep a straight face after hearing that. I do remember classroom parties in elementary school though- we were always nuts! I’m surprised at how early your school year ends, when I was in school we always went until mid-June!
Yeah, it’s kind of a weird schedule! We start the FIRST day in August.
Hahaha – Oh man. How did you not laugh?? I would have died laughing, then given the kid a pat on the back. Good job being a good teacher though! Clearly I would’ve done the wrong thing. Haha.
I LOVE that heart bowl that you have. Every time you use it I get jealous
I can’t imagine sweet potatoes for breakfast so I might just have to try it out to see what I think. I’m still dying to try hummus and sweet potatoes. You have too many good ideas for me to keep up with.
HAPPY FRIDAAAAAAAY!
hahaah I totally agree I think I would have cracked up laughing! but I am sure you are used to all sorts of bizzare-o things, so this was nothing new haha
YUM that breakfast looks SO good!
The kids I nanny for have gotten so. crazy. as the end of the year approaches. I’m sure at school around their friends it’s even worse. Hang in there!
hahaha how did you not crack up when he did that? I wouldnt have been able to control myself.
I have been craving veggies off the heezy lately. I think it might be a weather thing?
That is HILARIOUS. I mean, it’s good you disciplined him, but that’s too funny
Oh kids…you just never know what’s going to come out of their mouth next.
Your breakfast looks amazing. Why don’t I ever have sweet potato for breakfast? Such a great idea.
Your breakfast looks delish – I shall try this for sure…
I’m not sure how you kept a straight face when the boy said that – definitely a classic. I love the disciplinary action taken – way to be strong!
HAHA!!! That is one of the funniest things I have ever heard!
