Momfessionals: Day In The Life

Last Thursday started off around 5:30 with a quick shower and then I started the task of blowdrying my hair, blow drying G's hair from the night before and curling G's hair because we didn't time it well last week and all of that fell on the same morning ;) and YES I still curl her hair - hahaha

G and I were leaving early that morning because she had a science pre-test tutoring thing and we were also grabbing chicken minis for our small group. These two were still waking up and getting ready ;)

On the road early!

Every week we have small group on Thursdays and one of the girls brings a snack to share. It was G's week and this was her choice - happy to oblige!

WHEN DID SHE GET THIS BIG?!?!?!

We got to school right around 7:30...

... in time for her to get to science, and me to snap a quick outfit pic before opening up my classroom.

Today was an oldie but a goodie - Daydreamer butterfly tee over a Free People dress.

I spent a few minutes getting morning announcements ready, turning on lamps, and opening my windows since it was so nice out.

Family group chat popping off ;)

Announcement cart ready to go and then it's morning announcements with my House leaders...

First period starts at 8:00 and there's Bible classes that meet in my classroom from 8:00 until 1:45... so I quietly worked on getting the Spoons of Thankfulness project from Wednesday's Alpha and Omega meeting put together so they could go home with the kindergarteners on Friday.

Alpha and Omega is a new Senior/Kindergarten buddy program I started this year and it's just about the cutest thing of all time.

I made a trip down to Lower School to have a sweet friend quickly proofread a letter I was sending home in the kindergarteners bags...

... and then got all my copies made.

And finished assembling one classes bags.

9:30 and it's time for Small Group! Another sweet girl brought donuts so my group had quite the feast ;)

We chatted, prayed, and snacked for about 30 minutes...

... and then I hit the road to do some Amazon returns.

I had several things from pep rallies and other events that I didn't end up using so I had to run by Whole Foods to get them scanned and returned.

SUCH A GORGEOUS DAY!!!

Thankfully the line wasn't long and I was back on campus pretty quickly

Crossed a couple of things off my to-do-list (turned in a few receipts, etc.) and then settled in with my audiobook...

... to work on the rest of the spoons.

I got all 60 packaged up and ready to go and then walked them down to the kindergarten classes so they could go in folders and make their way home.

After this I worked on a few more to-do-list items and then heated up a burger patty and ate it with a Ceasar salad for lunch...

... while I worked on editing a reel for my student life instagram account.

Quick apple while I worked on a senior parent email...

... and then at 2:00 I grabbed some sustenance and headed to the student life center for our annual White Out basketball game. It's the first game of the season and we hold it on campus during the school day and the entire student body attends.

I volunteered to hang with middle school for the entirety of the game and help monitor the stands while classroom teachers headed back to their rooms to get some things done in peace and quiet ;) I have the luxury of making my own schedule and have zero grading and know how important a few quiet moments can be when you're with kids all day!

3:30 and the game was over and I headed back across campus. The new building is going up and it's so cool to get to see!

I went over my to-do-list for the day and made a few notes for Friday...

G had dance so she changed out of her uniform into a super cute tank and leggings...

... and we jetted off pretty quick so we could head to Sephora to pickup an online order I had placed and OF COURSE she had to browse for a few minutes ;)

Me waiting in line with my order and a handful of things G "needs for her stocking" ;)

That's a happy girl if I ever saw one!

I got G dropped off at dance around 4:40 and headed straight to Fleet Feet. I've been walking A LOT (like 30+ miles a week) and desperately needed to upgrade my shoe game.
