I feel like my whole day is spent thinking about food. What do I want for breakfast? What sounds good for snack? My lunch is so disappointing! Ugh, nothing sounds good for dinner! I actually like cooking, although I am not great at it, when I have time, I do enjoy it. During the week though, it is just one more thing to do! Lately our lives have been busy, a few late work nights for me, a few for Mike, a trip for Mike, etc, so I have not been cooking dinner as much as I usually do. Since it is just the two of us, we probably eat out more than usual just because it is easy. This week (aside from a late Monday at work) my plan was to cook every night. Thanks to the crockpot, spicy chicken tacos were a breeze yesterday AND I took the time to prep meatballs (for Mike's favorite spaghetti and meatballs) and I also got chicken ready for some homemade chicken noodle soup tomorrow. A little pat on my back as I feel productive.
It is too early for my best things, but here are a few things that I am looking forward to... #1 - Last day of CogAT testing! This aspect of my job has taken away a lot of my instructional time this year, so I am glad it is almost over. Now I can teach for a few days before the craziness of PARCC begins and my teaching gets put on hold again. #2 - Planning my trip to Fort Worth! My niece and childhood friend both live there so we are texting a lot trying to decide what to do while I am there. For sure manicures, pedicures and shopping! #3 - After today the week will be more than halfway finished and that much closer to a much needed break!

I put my food effort into lunch. I want a good meal to look forward to at school, that will give me energy for the rest of the day.

I loved the line "A little pat on my back as I feel productive." It's so honest, and I feel the same way whenever I have a few moments that really feel like I've gotten my stuff together. :)
