I have been extremely productive today. Wow. Although, when you set yourself up for a project like this, it is hard to not consider yourself productive. Anyway, this morning, I baked the cornbread and another round of cookies. I packed those up and delivered them to the school to the assistant principal along with the Santa Fe soup. She said she woke up thinking about all she needed to get done today but their meal for tonight was not one of them. I was tickled to hear that. I then started to look for the IT guy to see if I could bring him something for tomorrow but he was at the other school he services. I went looking for the chorus teacher but she was in the middle of class so I started walking back to the front and I saw 3 teachers (one was the librarian, one teaches my daughter math and the other teacher teaches the gifted students and since I needed to fill Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, I thought well, why not? I'll ask them all at the same time. So I did and one of the teachers said she'd heard about it from my daughter's teacher. Word gets around, I guess. Two of them are pregnant and they all have little ones so there won't be huge meals but they let me cook for them this week so I have this week already spoken for. I left the school and went with my husband to get the truck serviced. Had lunch, grocery shopped for the week a bit (I am sure I will have to go back), picked up the truck. I came home and made a gigantic bowl of 5 cup salad and then split it up into 4 different containers. I have been putting things that are not for my family in the downstairs (basement) refrigerator so there is no confusion on what is free game. I left one of those containers in OUR fridge as it is a favorite for a couple of the kids. I then got inspired to try that cake one more time so I got that stuff out. It is in the oven right now. I will let it cool tonight (100%) before I try to take it out of the pan and hopefully I won't mess it up. I had a coupon today for a glaze so I bought a vanilla and chocolate to try on the top of this cake (one for each time I make it...I'm not going to mix the two)to see if something lighter will work. I'll let you know.
I still have leftover chili and the leftover Santa Fe soup for tonight or we have sandwich stuff for dinner options tonight. I also did 3 loads of laundry and I'm headed to fold that right now before I take off to play volleyball for a few hours. Isn't life good?
I wanted to mention that last night when we got home from the board dinner, I put away the leftover green bean casserole and set the dish in the sink. The pot of Santa Fe soup was still there from my earlier meal delivery so I put that in a smaller container for the fridge. I got my pjs on and sat down with Derek to watch a little of the Steelers and Ravens game and he finished cleaning the kitchen....he washed by hand the big pot and the casserole dish, finished loading the dishwasher and started it for me. Just another reason why I can even begin to attempt this project because I have a partner like that. Didn't I tell you life was good?
So.....I'm passing it around. I don't wanna hoard the goodness. I think we all have plenty to go around. What do you think?
