I never knew that feet could hurt as much as mine do. I really don’t want to be a grumbler – but holy cow, my throbbing feet are just about the worst part of my pregnancy thus far. (Minus the throwing up for 3 months.) I think I’m going to start sitting at my desk and propping my tootsies up on top of all my papers/projector/pencils while I teach. I’m sure the kids will love it.
Breakfast
Oats like my mama used to make – with butter (earth balance), brown sugar, raisins, milk and cinnamon. The perfect combo.
kiwi on the side
Lunch
Carrots, celery, almond butter, toasted millet bread, and milk
I saved the almond butter for the carrots
Plus I ate two apples about an hour after lunch.
Dinner
I made basic risotto and then threw in artichokes hearts, peas, edamame, and some lemon zest.
It was so good. In fact, it was good enough to make me forget all about my aching feet.
In the 3rd grade world…
Remember the girl who went #3? Well, it happened again today. I was teaching a lesson when she came up and whispered:
Mrs. Unger, I just went number #3 in the bathroom, and I think I have to go again.
I told her to hustle to the restroom and take care of it – meanwhile, I worked up my courage to ask her what #3 really was. Later in the day, she came up and asked for a nurse’s pass because her stomach hurt and she had gone #3 again. So I blurted it out…
What exactly is #3??
Turns out, the girl had the trots.
Awww that poor girl! Glad we have the #3 figured out!
And I’m glad you’re loving food again! Put some ice on those pups!
LOL #3! My baby cousin once had to go #10!
Ahahah! What the heck is that?!
Poor girl! But where in the world did #3 come from? I can just see her dad at home telling her all about the various numbers…. Risotto is the ultimate comfort food!
#3… LOL!
Poor thing! I remember I was home sick with the “#3s” on in 2nd grade and I was MORTIFIED when I found out my mom had told our neighbors what exactly I was sick in bed with. MOM!
2nd graders are totally ridiculous! We had risotto for dinner tonight too, who knew it was so easy?!
Well, you learn something new everyday! Today I learned what #3 is…successful day if you ask me!
oy-i feel your pain sista! the absolute worst part of being pregnant for me was the achy feet. and i had a job where i was on my feet all day.
the rest of it was great-no probs, but the achy feet-oy vey.
make that hubby of yours rub em up good for ya!!
The mystery of the #3 has finally been solved!
That was hilarious! I do feel bad for the poor thing; but sometimes its hard not to laugh.
It’s even funnier because the little girl just expected you to know what #3 was
Wonder who taught her that…..
I love it .. #3?? You never know what 3rd graders are going to say??!!
Having to go #3 at school is the worst.ever. However…if this is a recurring theme for this little lady you have to wonder what she’s eating!
Im already a bore with my shoes these days, I can’t imagine if and when I am pregnant…I will never want to wear shoes!
Hahaaa #3?
And those oats look super yummy! I’m so adding some earth balance to my oats for b-fast tomorrow
Risotto looks amazing. I hope your feet feel better
And I hope that girl feels better too
ahaha oh gosh!! #3 is NO fun– poor girl! pretty cute story though!
Aww!! Poor little thing! At least we know shes comfortable enough with you to tell you something like that. Its kind of a compliment right?
So sorry about your feet! I would definitely prop them up while you’re teaching!
i guess thats better than aunt flow visiting…she might be a bit too young for that. haha.
Oh yikes, I didn’t even think of that! I would have NO IDEA how to handle that with an 8 year old!
Awww! Poor little girl
I hope her #3′s go away soon!
Your risotto looks fantastic! I love that you just “whipped” it all together. It looks so gourmet!
fact: i had to google “the trots”.. never heard that term! haha. that risotto looks SO good.
Haha…a teach at my school (who reads the blog) told me the same thing…you’re not alone. [?]
Ha Ha! I am glad that is all worked out.
One of my coworkers resorted to scooting around her classroom on her rolling chair during her last few months of pregnancy. The kids loved it.
Hahah! I have a rolly chair – I’m going to have to remember that!
