Just Make Stuff

Week in the Life: Friday, Saturday & Sunday

Catching up on the last three days. After a day full of trainings and weeks filled with class planning, I spent late Friday morning using a gift card I had saved to get a massage and a facial...best idea I have ever had. Mac wandered around the mall while I was at the spa, so we met back up in time for lunch. We had a football barbecue to be at in the early evening. Cheerleaders were in charge of bringing drinks, plates and napkins. I held my breath hoping that families would bring enough (apathy can often run rampant in our group). I was so happy to see that I was wrong for worrying. After the barbecue we rushed to my nephew's first flag football game and went out to dinner with everyone afterwards. 

Cheer photos down at the beach at 7:45am. Farmers market afterwards for a little fruit and hummus (sun dried tomato/spinach & feta). Sean's car is a little too old (thankfully he fixed it this weekend). Speaking of old, we finally replaced the last rickety old chair at the kitchen table. I was sentimental about it...as I am about pretty much everything. Mac went with his dad's family for the night so Sean and I got slightly gussied up and went to dinner. I realized I haven't really worn shoes all summer...which means next week at work is probably going to feel awesome.

The fridge before and after. It was cleaned out and refilled with food prepped for the week. Sean and I watched an episode of Astronaut Wives. I put together gifts I'll share soon. I have my class planner ready just in time for the semester to start tomorrow. I spent pretty much the entire afternoon on last minute details (with iced coffee of course). Love when Paddington smushes himself right next to me.

So, that's it...another week in our life captured. This time it felt a little different, since I am a little more used to capturing random details throughout the week to keep up with my Project Life book, but this still contains way more little bits. Love that it's always a different week on the calendar and that the busy week before I start the school year is saved to look back on. Can't wait for the next round...

Week in the Life: Thursday

Holy heck there was a lot of school training today...eight hours between the two schools. And one more CASA training tonight. My chair at the state school is always super thoughtful and gets us all gift bags, This time they had a mug and white board markers. When I had an hour at home between the two schools it was iced coffee and sitting in bed answering student emails, "No, I'm sorry, you probably won't be able to add my class next week" over and over. After the last training for the day I decided that I needed breadsticks and alfredo sauce...an amazingly nutritious choice. And when I got home, as is the case on most days I'm at work, I put away all the bracelets I have scattered around on my dresser from putting together a color combo for the day.

Week in the Life: Wednesday

I got to have my favorite breakfast half a sourdough english muffin, "four" pieces of bacon which is two that I cut in half and a small cup of iced coffee. You know I have lots of school work to do when I find something to scrub down around the house...today it was the guest bathroom. I put together a greek salad to take to my cousins whose baby just had surgery. I had big calendars printed out again (like last year) to keep track of everything this fall. Here's the file if you need them too... Download End of 2016 Calendar I have them printed at Staples on 18x24 inch paper for $1.99 each. And between the treadmill, errands and a walk tonight with Sean I had a pretty active day.

Week in the Life: Tuesday

A little treadmill-ing before and after I dropped Mac off at cheer practice. Didn't wake up early enough to walk as much as I wanted before leaving at 8:45am...which is pathetic. Handled cheer tasks while Mac was at practice. Spent the rest of the day working on my fourth and final syllabus. I tried the self timer and learned that my posture is atrocious. The kitchen had a sink stuffed with dishes. Icepacks on my neck and shoulder after hours at the computer. Finishing the day at an evening training with Sean.

Week in the Life: Monday

Mac running out of the house after having to dash back in twice before leaving for registration. Senior year registration! Two hours of standing in lines later he was done and on his way to cheer practice. He hates the photo on his ID for some reason, but I think it's cute. I had pre-semester trainings to attend at the community college...thankfully they were good ones. Being up by school meant being able to grab a favorite turkey avocado sandwich to bring home for lunch. I had to be back at the community college for a late afternoon training too. We had a quick takeout dinner, walked the dogs a couple times around the block and I was off to a mini cheer camp meeting. Finally back home for a walk before being super lazy for the last couple hours of the day. I should have done some work...but oh well.
