Banana Blueberry Bread

Ripe bananas and blueberries yum. I was going to make plain banana bread, but I had some blueberries in the frig, so I added some to the mix along with a little orange zest. I like it. The blueberries pop with flavor when you bite into them and it is a nice change from the plain banana bread.

Just thoughts

No picture, but some thoughts. Danielle went back to Berkeley today. She made it back up north in no time.

After a very long work week with hubby out of town, and a lot of things going on I am tired. Just want to relax and then I turn around and then I have to get sub plans together for next week. I have to be out 3 days; 2 days for training and 1 for dentist. It is just go, go, go, and then crash at the end of the day.

Some weeks seem like a blur. But not all understand the trials and tribulations that I go through during a week. NO, they are disappointed in me that I am not jumping up and doing exactly what they want. Many times what I like is not what they want, so I don't even bother asking because their noise would turn up. I don't like conflict, so I know when not to participate or ask.. But then I get a different response that is totally unnecessary.

Anyway, it was nice to take a walk with the dogs to clear my head. I love to walk in the moonlight with the shadows. There were a few stars out tonight and the air had a slight chill to it. How nice!

Let me see? I am the one who always takes the dogs to the vet, I get home at 4 or 5 but don't slow down until 6 or 8 and then I still have work to do for school. I do all the bills and feed all the animals at 5 am and 5 pm very rarely does someone else step in to help. Litter boxes and poop pick up that's me. Non stop but yet someone is disappointed in me because I don't have dinner ready. Well whatever I make is usually not what the other wants to eat, so I don't bother being shot down. I have never bitched and moaned about having to do everything with the animals and the son; while the other person is working or on travels; and on top of that I have to make sure that I am doing my job to the standard that is expected. Which is very challenging.

But I am Wonder Woman and I can do all without any issues and I am not tired; nor do I get tired and I have all the energy in the world and want to please everyone. Wrong! Times have changed and I have to have limits other wise I get overwhelmed. Life goes on...

January Bulletin Boards for Classroom

Here are a few cute bulletin boards that Danielle help me put up this weekend. The first is of the students New Year goals. The second is a graph that we are going to do. Lastly is the student's writing wall.

School Tomorrow

Back to school I go. Went out to the classroom today with Danielle and we were able to get some bulletin boards up. I will post them tomorrow. It makes it a little easier to go back with some review of where we left off and where I need to go, since it has been two weeks.

I started this morning making cinnamon rolls with my new food processor. It took awhile for the dough to rise and then rise again. Here are a few snapshots of the end result. I made half with raisins and half without. I think they turned out pretty yummy. I used part of Paula Deen's and part of another random recipe.
