8/18/24 Sunday- The first weekend of the school year.

 I am not happy that today is Sunday but I did not need an alarm on Saturday or Sunday so that did make me happy. 😁

I wrote a post last week but never published it, so feel free to scroll down and read it. 

The first full week of school is completed. Only 34 weeks left to go! Hahah  I got lots of movement and have already subbed for a few teachers. They were just set times though not entire days. I have mostly been in the front office helping the attendance person. She is supposed to have the receptionist to help her but it is a new one this year and they are not starting till 8/21. 

I had some stress yesterday morning trying to figure out how I was going to be paying bills. Hubby got paid Friday but my first check doesn't hit till 8/30. Trying to pay two income house bills on one income is not pretty. I finally got something figured out that will not cost us extra money. We might only have like $30 in the bank and almost at limit cards but we will survive. 

I have a suspicious roast in the crockpot. Let's hope that all is well and there are no issues. I am cooking it on high for 5 hours.  A few months ago my oldest left the deep freezer door cracked. Everything in the door was ruined and several things inside started to thaw a little. I researched and read and decided to keep everything that was still partially frozen. So let's hope today's me can trust past me. LOL, I was too lazy to cut potatoes so I only dumped in seasonings and carrots. I will make mashed packet potatoes for the roast to be eaten with. I cleaned the kitchen counters last week so they are actually still ok. It's the kitchen sink that is overwhelming. I have washed two small drainers worth and will hopefully get another set worth washed. It's not that bad honestly. I am just a big whiney baby because no one helps me with them. I got all my knives washed and am thinking of sharpening them before I put them in the knife block. I also am thinking about pre-cutting veggies for dinners. It would probably be a really good idea. Because when dinner comes I just want to dump and go. I don't want to put any effort in. Our school day rolled back and I get out 50 minutes earlier but due to traffic, it doesn't feel like it. Before I could park in the back and slip out. Now we are not allowed to park in the back anymore so I am stuck in carline traffic even though I park in employee parking! Parents have made the front office parking into a carline as well so we're trapped. It annoys the crap out of me and makes me rage, to be honest. Nothing I can do about it though. 

My college classes start tomorrow. I am taking 6 of them again but they are broken down into 2 sets of 3 classes. One set will be Aug to mid Oct. Second set is mid Oct to Dec. The next 3 are totally online. The second set has me online on Monday nights for Zoom and going to the college on Wed nights for a physical class then the 3rd one is online online. One class has everything showing but locked. It is one of the hardest classes I have been told by several people. Business Law I  The class is online but the testing is through HonorLock which means it is recorded and they can stop your test if they think you are cheating. The good news is that the teacher does allow us to have one 4x6 prewritten notecard per quiz. The quizzes are worth 75% of our grade!!  YIKES!  I just have to remember C's get degrees! LOL

My plan for food this week is

Roast with carrots 

Brats with onions and peppers.

Butter chicken

Shrimp something -maybe pasta?

tacos with Dorito shells

I hope all is well with you all!

Oh weight loss-  So I had good intentions starting the week then I threw my hands in the air and waved them like I don't care. I didn't go off the rails and I am now getting a lot more movement. My weigh-in would have been better had I not chosen Pizza Hutt and regular Dr. Pepper for dinner Friday night. I can officially claim a .4 loss at least so something is better than nothing. 

Down a whole 4.2 lbs
