I started Tuesday out with a refreshing run with Punky before the sun came up. Then refueled with a green monster for breakfast.
Smoothie in the first rays of the morning sun. B-e-a-utiful. In this mix: 1 cup frozen spinach, ½ cup frozen peaches, ½ cup frozen blueberries, 1 scoop protein powder, 2 cups water, 1 tsp. xanthan gum (for thickness)
Lunch
More veggies and rice. Today’s assortment was brown rice, edamame, green beans, corn and honey mustard dressing.
Dinner
Grilled eggplant and green beans
Grilled sole – Meeker’s flipping tongs got in the way. We don’t eat much fish, and as it turns out, it’s not really meant to be flipped. We kind of destroyed it, but intact or not, it tasted good.
On another note, today is my oldest brother’s birthday! Happy birthday, Riv!
My brother, me and my niece
In the 3rd grade world…
I had recess duty today.
When I have recess duty, and a kiddo needs to use the restroom, I hand the student my lanyard with my keys and always jokingly say:
Don’t drop them in the toilet!!
So, when this happened today, said student looked at me like I was an alien. I shrugged it off, and figured he just didn’t get the joke.
However when I got the keys back upon his return – they were soaking wet. Drenched. I’m not sure if he misunderstood me and thought I instructed him to dip the keys in the toilet, or if he accidentally dropped them in there, but one thing is for sure – my keys had been submerged in water. I immediately threw away my lanyard, got a new one, and sprayed my keys with bleach water. This is not the type of thing that one wants to take chances with.
Oh my gosh… lol. I wonder if they dipped it in the water? Yikes. hahah I love your stories – glad you are back in school!
Too funny!! I’ve missed your third grade world! Happy Birthday to big brother…. love, your Mama

Aaw, today is my big brother’s birthday, too! Happy birthday to them both.
And gross about the key thing. I would’ve definitely done what you did, lol.
Aww! Happy birthday to your big bro, too!!
Oh man, kids these days. That grilled eggplant looks delicious!

Happy birthday to your big bro!! I LOVE that key story. Hopefully he dipped them in the sink….
I’ve had grilled eggplant for the past 2 days! yummmmmmmm-o
happy bday to your brother!!
funny stuff about the lanyard. ewwww!
HaHa! I used to have lunch duty with the 1st graders two years ago, and I would do exactly what you do, hand them my keys. Luckily I never got them back wet. Oh well, you never know what will happen this year!
That first picture is so pretty! Such great light!
And too funny about the toilet, poor kid. And poor you
wow. you def have pee-pee keys now. oh the joys of kiddos.
happy bday to your bro!
That is hilarious about the lanyard! Kids are so unpredictable, I love ‘em!
Happy birthday to your bro
I can’t believe that kid did that! I guess he was really scared while handing you the keys back
Oh my goodness, that is such a funny story. I wouldn’t want to take that chance either…Ew!
hahah omg thats crazy! i cant believe he would dip it in water if it was not intentional! ahh I missed your stories!
Ha ha that is so funny about your keys! As many times as I have said that to kids, they have never come back wet. I would not take my chances either.
that’s pretty gross about the keys! I definitely would have used every antiseptic I had available.
also, I had a question about your green smoothies. do you do anything different when you use frozen spinach? I used to buy bags of that to make smoothies with but it always seemed slimy and chunky for some reason. I’m a newer reader, so forgive me if you’ve mentioned this before!
hahaha…be careful what you wish for, you just might get it
Hey! Love it! Thanks!
Hope school is going fun.
