I made it! Another year done. Another group of students moving on. The last day of school is so bittersweet. I am excited for summer vacation and the mental break, but it’s hard to say goodbye to my babies. They aren’t babies anymore. First grade – I hope you are ready! Here they come!
My classroom is empty. My basement is full. The packing is done! Today we will share in a day of fun – shaving cream, ice cream. The things kids dream of! It should be good.
Let’s back up a bit…
I wrapped up with packing yesterday afternoon. The busy day called for a filling snack.
Plain Oikos, Kashi Heart to Heart, and strawberry jam. Mmmm…mmmm….good! This snack filled me up for quite awhile.
Meal planning got lost in the shuffle of the busy week, so it was every man for himself at our house last night. I didn’t have any cravings and just wanted something quick and easy. I had parsnips and butternut squash to use up, so I made fries. Perfect for pairing with baked beans.
While my fries crisped in the oven, I sat on the deck with a fresh, green salad. Love the side salads!
I was a feisty and pulled the fries out of the oven a few minutes later.
Boring! I didn’t let the fries get crispy enough and I wasn’t really feeling the baked beans. The heat and humidity only made it worse. Nothing appealed to me. Oh well! Their is a bright side – I had extra time to rush off to yoga at the gym.
I really wanted to stretch last night and Kathy (the instructor) made sure to take care of all my tight spots. Hello, hips ‘n hamstrings! Yoga felt great. I was so settled when I left…but I needed chocolate! Hello, hormones!
I came home and made my signature hot apple snack, but I added a few dark chocolate chips to the mix.
Bad picture, good food! Sometimes a girl just needs some chocolate…and chocolate goes with everything! Yes, even apples. I loved my snack and went to bed with a happy belly.
More oats for breakfast – I’ll spare you the photo. I have no workout plans for today. We have an End of the Year Staff Party after school. I don’t want to feel rushed to leave or anything, so no pressure for a workout. I’d rather just enjoy an evening walk with Lucy when I get home.
Happy Hump Day! It doesn’t feel like Wednesday to me…it’s the last day of school! I’m worse than the kids.
