Breakfast for Dinner

After staying up late three nights in a row to cut out hundreds of paper keys (classroom behaviour management rewards) in a bid to have them ready to laminate by this afternoon; after spending the school day moving my classroom and another class' furniture into another building...again... ; after spending the afternoon hunched over a hot laminator desperately cramming keys into laminating pouches with a team of helpers and running them through the machine we have just over 2,000 laminated. Needless to say I will be spending the next few nights (to say the least) cutting out laminated keys.

With aching legs and shoulders, after countless attempts to move a heavily laden filing cabinet and solid wooden piano, I picked up the kids and we braved the supermarkets and the harried rush of last minute Easter shoppers stocking up for the holidays. By the time we arrived home I was too exhausted to even contemplate making the garlic potato wedges, lamb burgers and garden salad that I had intended to. So I give you...breakfast for dinner.

Some days, we just do what we can and call it good. I'll be the kids didn't mind a bit.

(Curiously, the verification word for this comment is "knishim" which would be the Hebrew plural for a Yiddish "knish" or turnover filled with potatoes, meat or cheese, often eaten as a snack.)
