Eat more cookies


I started student teaching last week. As any student teacher knows it is most important to not miss a day. On my day 7 my van wouldn't start. My husband is 40 minutes away and I am stuck at home. Alone. I called in. Did I mention alone. Oh so rare for me.

I wrote a paper. Worked on a science unit. Baked cookies.
Cookies went like this....

Mix up cookies
scoop on trays
 place in oven
set timer for 9 minutes
strip bed linen 
 remove pillow cases from 8 pillows
gather 1 blanket, 2quilts and 2 down comforters
take ginormous pile down stairs
place sheets and cases in one washer
place quilt in other
fold load in dryer
go back upstairs
warm up coffee
scoop next batch of cookies
take cookies out of oven
put next batch in
9 minutes
