weekly menu:: week 12

i am slowly recovering from the weekend.  my ankle has been giving me problems all week and i am resting it and icing it like i should.  i started getting worried that i wouldn't feel good for the race.  saturday for training we were going to run 5 miles.  i really wanted to do it.  i woke up feeling good.  i thought i would show up to training and run until i felt the pain.  i felt pretty good the entire way.  my ankle only gave me problems on the way down the hill.  but i never stopped.  once i hit the 3.1 mark all i could think about was finishing.  but when we did, i felt so exhilarated.  i ran 5 miles!!  i can't tell you how great that felt.  now the race on saturday will be a breeze.  right?

getting ready to rehearse

i spent the rest of the weekend yelling at, chaperoning the chorus for the willy wonka play.  it really was a calamity of errors and natural disasters.  saturday's dress rehearsal was great.  the kids looked adorable.  they sang their hearts out and went home. sunday, the kids came in with so much energy.  it was hard to get them all dressed up in their oompa loompa costumes, paint their faces and then have them sit and be quiet for 8 hours.  oh and did i mention that it poured down rain.  or that the fire alarm went off right as we were having dinner and we had to get them out of the building in an "orderly" fashion.  or that the auditorium flooded and we couldn't use the bathroom.  but they sat through two shows, were awesome on stage, and made it back to their parents unharmed.  what an experience it was.  and what talented kids we have at our school.

hoping to bring some normalcy back into our lives this week.  i could use it.  i think we all could use it.  we never had fish tacos on friday because it just got so busy.  so it's back on the menu this week.
