I am a teacher but have decided this year should take a slower pace than last year, that I should take time to appreciate life, so how better than to document it in photos!

Day 46 What did I do today?

Today has gone on FOREVER! This morning started with me almost pushing Illi and Declan out the door for the bus. Then I went to work and found things going a little awry nearly every step of the way. Including that in getting the kids out the door that I forgot to take my morning medication. I felt rotten and at lunch time went home to get the medication in between one school and the other so that I could keep on for the day (found out that the problem was that I had also missed yesterday's...that would explain the problem! NOT looking forward to the week before surgery when I am only allowed to take Panadol to keep me going!) Then I went back to work and had a slight issue with a student. On the way home I dropped in to Bunnings, tried to call Sean to ask his advice on choosing the product I was to get (he called back nearly an hour later). The went to the supermarket to grab the extra ingredients for my evening cooking endeavours. When I got home I went to do the cooking and realised I had forgotten a vital ingredient and couldn't do start straight away. So we took the kids to karate, the dropped in to Rowena and Trevor's to help moving the last of their furniture out in preparation for their new flooring to be laid over the next 2 days. When we left there, we called by the supermarket to get the remaining ingredients, then picked up the kids and came home. I started cooking dinner while I started the cupcakes for my lesson tomorrow, then went to start the slice to take to school tomorrow and found that even after 2 trips to the supermarket, I was still unprepared as the coconut I thought was in the cupboard was nowhere to be found! Rowena and Trevor arrived to drop their lounge in our office as their garage is full of their other furniture, and as they were popping down to the shops, they offered to grad the coconut for me. While they were gone, I put the cupcakes in the oven, dished up dinner and we ate, just in time for Rowie and Trev to come back with the coconut! I finished the slice and put it in to bake for its first 20 mins while I prepared the second base, the topped the first one, and put it back in them prepared the top for the second one and put it in to bake for its final 30 mins! By 11.15, the baking was finally finished, the making it a LONG day...now to face tomorrow!
Oh, BTW the above pic is one of the slices, some of the cupcakes in the pink container and some other goodies needed for tomorrow's cooking task at school!
