The last four weeks have FLOWN by!
We started school, softball season is in full swing, AND Brandon started his master's! It's been a little busy around here. The nights we are both home at the same time I have cooked. All others- we have either not eaten or picked up something on the go. A couple of weeks ago there were 9 softball games in one week! Craziness, but it's been fine.
This is the absolute BEST start to the school year that I've ever experienced. I hope and pray that every year gets better and better, but I am in touch with reality- every year is different. I have even gotten some amazing compliments from my students: "Mrs. Davis- why aren't you boring like all of our other teachers?" I told them that's just my personality- I love to be moving and I hate to sit or stand still and I hate boring things, so I try my best to make it as exciting as possible. Half the time you don't even know you're learning! Another student commented that it was probably because I was young, and to give me 10 years. To which I responded- "My goal is to be just as excited and energetic in ten years as I am today- you'll have to keep me on my toes".
I have to say that I have been lacking my me exercise goals since school started. This week I did a lot better- as long as I go exercise today I'll be good. Hopefully now that I'm back in the swing of things I can make myself go work out every day. And since the weather is getting cooler I may be able to get it taken care of during lunch. Last year I walked 3 miles a day during my lunch break. It was SO great!
I've been begging my husband to tell me something he used to eat when he was younger. His mom is not a good cook and never really cooked anything he liked. He's happy with any home cooked meal, but I wanted to know if there was something that a grandma (one which is not living and one which is in a nursing home) used to make that he missed. So, he FINALLY told me it was country fried steak. I have made it once and I'm making it again. I'm usually very anti- fried foods, but it's not TOO terrible for you. I did use deer steaks, and they were SO delicious. He said they were wonderful and "when are you making this again?" was a quick question after dinner. We're having them again tonight with mashed potatoes and gravy during our football marathon. UGA at 4:30 and Georgia Tech after that.
