Back in control

Last week, after the eclipse,  I finally felt like our lives were back in an orderly fashion and not spinning out of control.  Mostly because Ginger was doing so much better and we were past the "critical" phase, but also because it was a pretty boring week and nothing major happened. 

I worked on Tuesday.  I finally got my schedule made.  It's a terrible task every year involving making sure I don't schedule kids during their recess, lunch, intervention time, resource time, occupational therapy, physical therapy or counseling times.  I have to make sure I get all their minutes in.  And teachers don't want them to miss any academic time ever.  They have to be seen during the school day.  So yeah, figure that out. 
I didn't take these pictures.  I think Spencer did.  You can see the new kitchen curtains in the background though.  So that's a plus. 


I'm pretty sure Elliott took this one. 

The kids and I went in the pool that night after dinner. 



Look!  Ginger even felt well enough to be out there with us. 
I worked on Wednesday too.  There are seriously no pictures to show for the entire day.  That's how boring it was.  

On Thursday at work I was playing Vocab Bingo with some 1st graders.  One of my kids told me he likes to put butter all over his hands and then lick it off.  OK.  Interesting. 
I made a loaf of grain free bread that night.  The recipe is a keeper.  It was delicious and the texture was perfect.  Michael and I have done more than 30 days of the Whole 30.  We're going to take a two day break for birthdays next week, and then right back at it. 

Thursday night Spencer and I ran a bunch of errands after dinner.  We went to Pet Club for more food for Ginger.  I bought her these cookies.  She hated them. 

We actually had a fun Friday and then a fun Saturday, but that will be for next time.  There's pictures from Friday, but not Saturday, so it'll be like a 45 second post.
