Sunday Funday

Happy Sunday!

I hope you're enjoying a wonderful weekend! 
It's a c-h-i-l-l-y 52 degrees here! Brrr! 

On Sunday, I try to wrap up all my chores and teaching work by 4:00 pm. This is when I move all the packed-up teaching materials towards the front door for early Monday morning. Next weekend, I'll be traveling (woohoo!) and NOT taking my laptop (at least that's the plan), so today I'm busy prepping for the following week, too!

So it was NOT the right weekend to give up my beloved coffee. 

But I did. 

Today is Day 2 and I think I might make it! I am allowing one green or one black tea for now. I swear they are decaf though, because I don't feel that lovely "boost" when I drink it :(

This was last cup of coffee - taken on Friday


I even splurged and put creamer in it (NOT Whole 30)


This is me on the couch yesterday. I do NOT take naps and have never felt the need before. This had me really concerned considering all the work I need to accomplish. But my health is worth it & coffee was no longer my friend :(

I did manage to get dressed yesterday and walk two blocks to my favorite neighborhood restaurant. I'm SO glad I did. Not only was my meal delicious, we got to enjoy the live performance:



That is a real bus stop on my street!
I'm not sure why there are dancers, but they were great!


Then we found out that the restaurant was hosting a Neighborhood Block Party featuring the screening of The Birds. I ♥ anything by Alfred Hitchcock! I strolled home, added UGG boots, my Under Armor cold-gear, and grabbed a blanket to watch the movie. 
It was so much fun!

Back to business: this week, I'll be exploring several different books with my 1st grade intervention, 1st grade Power Hour, and 3rd grade intervention groups. I made this Beginning-Middle-End organizer to use with ALL of them. I hope you can use them, too! Please click here to download.
