A Day In My Wild & Crazy Life

So, I'm about a week late on this Blog-tember post, I took all the photos and then just failed to get it ready to go on the scheduled day. I've got myself together now, so here it is, a look at my life. 

Since my life is totally a shmozzle (yeah, I'm not sure what a shmozzle is either) and since my phone is far from 'smart' I collected these photos over a couple of days, but they do accurately reflect the basics of my life daily. 

I've watched too much Dr. Phil and won't share all the timing in my schedule, or details about where I work because, well honestly I don't want you to stalk me. 


Early: I wake up, straighten my hair (or sometimes just brush it), eat chocolate cheerios for breakfast, listen to 101.3 The Bounce (Halifax Radio Station) online, dance and then inevitably run out of the house in a mad panic because I'm about to be late for work. 


I mix the Chocolate Cheerios with Multigrain to get some health benefits lol.
Slightly Less Early: I walk to work, wearing my sensible shoes (Skechers Go Walk- So Comfy)! My walk takes me through my lovely neighbourhood and I was taken with both the gorgeous fall-ness of the tree below and the awesome butterfly window display at a cafe, it looks like they are real!
My phone couldn't capture it, but I'm listening to old school Nelly on my iPod. Also, check out those sensible shoes!
Slightly later in the morning: I enjoy the sights of my kindergarten classroom, and spend my time planning activities and preparing materials and cleaning up from the morning group. My trusty green Nalgene filled with water is my go-to drink every day (no coffee/lattes here)!


Late Morning: I get to come home and spend a couple of hours doing housework, dishes, etc. Whatever needs to be done,  sometimes that includes a movie on Netflix and then on Fridays I've been having lunch dates with a lovely friend (my first real Ottawa friend -we've known each other for 3 years now)! 

Afternoon: I go back to work for more programming and prep-time. Sometimes we have staff meetings, sometimes we are cleaning the classroom, sometimes it's a bit of everything until the kiddos arrive after school. Then I spend two amazing hours soaking in all the excitement that is radiating out of the kindergarteners and trying to keep all of the germs radiating out of them away! 

A peek inside my locker at work, the bottom is stacked with books/papers and SO many pairs of shoes! 
Evening: It's off to home I go, I'm spoiled because Jay usually beats me home so more often than not dinner is waiting for me when I walk through the door. Best of all he's actually a really good cook! 

Late Evening: We usually relax for a while before going for a walk and then it's time to make lunches for the next day (salad- always salad!) and then it's time for bed (yes, I go to bed early most of the time- I love sleeping)! 

So, there you have it, what it's like to be me. If you've posted one of these lately leave the link in the comments and I'll check it out! 

Keep Smiling :)
