Starting Over...Again

Well I have not posted since last Wednesday....not good. But I have been not feeling well. I still have this nasty cold that is hanging on and will not go away. I also quit my job. Well...because it was awful. I was just not happy and it just was not the right place for me. You just cannot be a teacher and a custodian at the same time. You can't have control of your classroom and plan activities if you are having to clean the bathrooms and mop the floors while the children are in school. It just isn't right. I have no idea why this daycare dose not hire a custodial staff to come in after the day is over to clean. Many of the other teachers their also expressed their opinions to me about this, and I just don't think it is right to have your staff doing all that work on top of the work they are already doing. Now I am starting fresh and going to get on the sub list and I am going to be happy!

I have several photos of my breakfasts for the past few days...it has been pretty much the same thing. I have been forgeting to take pictures also. But I don't feel too hot and I have been drinking tons of tea! I love tea!

Fridays Breakfast my last day at my yucky job! yay!

Fage 0% with chia, coconut, honey and banana with a glass of apple cider

I am so glad to be done with my job. I know I made the right choice and the cool thing is that everyone supported my decision. Your job should be something you want to do not something that makes you cry when you come home from a long day.

Saturday morning breakfast. Fage 0%, with honey, chia, granola, coconut and banana! Yum.

I loved the message on my tea bag. I got up a bit earlier than Justin because I couldn't breathe because my nose was so stuffed up, so I let him sleep.

Some Emergen-C on the side.

Saturday we watched the PSU game and then I wanted to get out of the apartment for a bit so we went to Lowes to get stuff to make shelves in out nook in the bathroom! Justin has put them up I will put pictures in the next post. We also went in Pier 1 I love that store I want to get everything in it! I got to placemats a really awesome decorative pillow for $7!!! I also got these cool wall clings to make our lving room at bit more colorful! Take a look!

Isn't the pillow pretty (the one in the middle) it was such a good buy! And I love the wall art!

I also got some books from Book-a-million they had a bunch of good reads for $3.95 each and you buy 2 get one free! Lots of reading! I am reading the new National bestseller One Day. So I will have to let you know how it is!

Lunch today...it looks good but it actually really wasn't so I ended up throwing it out...bleh.

A Lean Cuisine Steamer...not buying them again.

Tring to be Thankful

My job has been taking quite a bit out of me. It is not what I was expecting and I don't particularly like it very much. But I am going to stick with it. I have very long hours which make it hard for me to keep up with my posts. My first long day I came home and cried. I felt like I had been hit by a truck all my muscles hurt and it was just a stressful  day. Some of the kids are so sweet but some are just delibaratly naughty even when they know what their doing in wrong. Many are oppositionally defiant. You ask them to clean up and they run and hide and even when you bring them back to clean up their mess they just stand there and refuse to. And the consequences of a 'time out' don't even seem to phase some children, like they could care less. To be honest this behavior is a bit shocking to me, and I haven't witnessed it very much, but I have seen it in a lot of the children at my job. I pray that I will have patience because I know with this job I will need it.

I am enjoying the weekend, even though it seems to go by to quickly. During the week I am still able to snap a quick picture or two of my breakfast before I eat it! So here are some pictures from this week and weekend.

Thursday morning breakfast overnight oats, I made it with vanilla Chobani and vanilla soy milk. Toppings: walnuts, coconuts, chia seeds mixed in, and PB.

This breakfast did not taste that great, the vanilla yogurt overpowered everything and it was pretty bland, I am going to try some recipes with out the yogurt.

Friday breakfast Chocolate overnight oats that I heated up in the microwave! This was a great recipe. No yogurt. for overnight I combined 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup chocolate unsweetened almond milk, 2 tbsp chia seeds, and the sweet secret a packet of diet Swiss miss cocoa mixed in! Amazing results. oh and half a banana! It makes a huge amount of oats. I couldn't eat it all though I wish I could have. I will have to make less next time.

On top raspberries, coconut, cinnamon swirl PB, and Yogi green tea

Today's breakfast, we didn't realize we only had 2 eggs so our omelets were more veggies than eggs. with 2 links of morning star sausage. Like our mugs! They were a wedding gift!

For tea we are having Good Earth Original, which is now Justin's new favorite tea! I always introduce him to the good stuff. This tea is sweet without sugar and spicy, sooo good!

Justin bought me flowers on Friday, since I had such a rough week. It was such a nice surprise, he is wonderful! I put them on our new Lenox crystal vase, so pretty.

I love roses! These mini ones are too cute!
