Some random thoughts floating around in my head this fine day:
Where did May go? For real!
I have found that I cannot get enough peanut butter lately. I put it on anything I can. Peanut butter sandwiches. Peanut butter on banana’s. Peanut butter on graham crackers. Peanut butter on pancakes. Peanut butter on apples. Peanut butter on a spoon and in my mouth. I am kind of worried about the fact that there is no peanut butter in Guatemala. How will I survive?
I feel like I am losing my mind. This tends to happen when the end of the year rolls around, I just forget. I was telling one of the other 1st grade teachers that I was struggling to come up with questions to put on our class “Question of the day” graph. She asked me how I had managed to get through all 300 questions they have listed on the back of the graph. The questions listed where? How on EARTH did I manage to miss the THREE HUNDRED questions they already have listed for you? No, I did not get through all 300 questions, nor would I ever be able to since there are only 180 days in the school year! I sure enjoyed that list for the last seven days of school.
Note to self – read the instructions on frozen food before throwing it in the microwave. Even if it seems simple. Frozen pancakes can be ruined.
Along the same lines – pancakes should not be frozen. Fantastic concept, but they do not come out all light and fluffy and delicious like you hope they will. Which is sad because being single and loving pancakes as much as I do is not the best combination. Making pancakes for one person is a pain! Anyone want to have pancakes with me?
After totally rocking their 1st grade program I told my students they had earned a party. I gave them two choices for a treat: Super yummy Oreo cupcakes (my coworker offered to make them, she really needs to open a cupcake show because they are SO good) or Popsicles. Honestly, the choice seemed clear to me, but they chose POPSICLES!!!! At what point in life does a gourmet cupcake finally win over a popsicle?
Favorite text of the week came from Lacey. It said "We need a code word. If you or I were eve in trouble but couldn't outright tell each other, the code word is Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Okay? Okay. :)" I laughed, and then had to text her back to see if it had been real. It was. I then persuaded her to use a more neutral code word, because if I started screaming "RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER!" while in a dangerous situation it might make things worse. She claims that the idea came to her because of a TV show she was watching. I think it may have come because I informed her that if I die while in Guatemala, she is the one that they will contact.

And THAT is why I love Lacey.
You will NOT die in Guatemala. Period.
And in my defense, I was picturing something more along the lines of, "Remember when we were little and singing Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer when we went caroling?" Then making up some little heart felt story. Obviously just shouting it out in a panicked voice would be a little... well, obvious.
And as for your frozen pancake dilemma, I eat them all the time. There's a trick to it though. Throw it in the microwave for 30 seconds, and then throw it in the toaster. They come out perfect, and ready to be slathered in peanut butter (for you) or nutella (for me). :)
Ha this post made me laugh. I have totally done things like your graph experience a hundred times In my classroom! So excited that your finished maybe now we can finally catch up on the phone! When do you leave for Guatemala? Also I'm excited for your gun shooting experience. And by the way you look beautiful in that color blue!! :)
