Today was one of the easiest Monday’s in a loooooooonnnnnggggg time!
I had a pretty decent nights sleep, just a little bit of tossing and turning. I didn’t make lunch last night when I got home (BTW if you’re wondering I was w mom all weekend! We didn’t do too much; just play on the net researching vacations and scarves, and food, and random junk AND went out to eat on Sunday and then shopped for mom. I didn’t get home till around eight and still had to make dinner and played w pup.) SOOOO back to this morning I enjoyed my bfast and then instead of relaxing I got busy making my lunch for the day.
The main reason today was easy was b/c how fast it moved: the first half our or so we spent it in the hallway b/c of the tornado warning. Circle time was easy and the kids listened well. We got paperwork two times, that’s right TWO! times today. The sub came in and relieved us for two hours in the morning (my CCT3 took an hour and I took bout 45 mins; I went to the public library and got books for this lesson). After nap CCT1 came in ten mins late and we got more time. My CCT3 used an hour and twenty minutes and I got out at three since we dropped down in numbers. So CCT3 got 2 hrs and 20 mins! AND I got 1 hr and 45 mins.. This would be way more exciting if I could actually do some paperwork, but it’s put on hold b/c of the girls whose place I took (she lost all the assmts so I got screwed; long story!).
None of our challenging children were too difficult and we were low in nos in aftercare.
Hubby had to work late so when I got home I had lots and lots of stuff to do. Sasha dropped a deuce and stepped in it which got all over the place. Instead of cleaning it up right away we played outside for 30 or so minutes. While we were outside I noticed I new ‘spot’ so we came in and she got spot washed. THEN I cleaned, and I mean CLEANED her kennel area! Cleaned poop w one towel, scrubbed floor w oxiclean, and ten sprayed it w the oxy pet deodorizer stuff.
By the time I finished it was around 6:30 or so. I made lunch for tomorrow and dinner. Now I’m enjoyed a cup of spiked java and watching House. Since I’ve told you about my day, how bout my eats?!:
Bfast – raspberry banana oatmeal
Snacks – ½ donut
Lunch – yummy tomato soup w veggies (I really wish I could figure out how to recreate this kind of tomato soup)
Snacks – slice of cake & handful of goldfish and a green apple
Dinner – tortilla pizza, a few cheese balls, and a teeny slice of hubs pizza as well as a slice of crust
My pizza was delish!
Tomato basil tortilla
2 T tomato sauce (apprx)
Sprinkles of cr. red pepper, basil, & garlic
Slice red onions and 2 small bell peppers
1 oz Italian cheese & a sprinkle of feta
TO MAKE: toast the tortilla first, flip, top, and bake till cheese is melty
IMO – LOVED LOVED LOVED!!!!! Not sure what made it so tasty, but was a nice blend of
sweet, herbs, and a kick.
I’m pretty sure that’s all there is to say. My high today is our little guy who’s got supposed Autism mastered a goal (even though we don’t have to record and report); coloring pictures! He usually likes to write letters and we have to verbally prompt him to color, but not today! He took out a picture of two kids in rain gear w umbrellas and started coloring. He colored the umbrellas first and then used a brown for their boots! Of course he didn’t stay in the lines, but he did a solid coloring!!!!
So glad to have a nice Monday for a change. Do you have an awesome tomato soup that’s sweet and herby to share w me????
