Have you ever read the Dr. Seuss book Wacky Wednesday? If you haven’t, it’s about a Wednesday, that’s well — wacky. This week in school we are celebrating Literacy Week and have been doing fun activities related to reading and writing all week long. Today’s theme is “Wacky Wednesday”, so the kids have been encouraged to dress crazily, and the teachers have been encouraged to do wacky things like switch with another teacher for a period of time throughout the day. The kids are going to go CRAZY today — but it should be a fun time.
Looking back onto yesterday, my appetite was all over the place — I wasn’t hungry, then I was starving, then I didn’t know what in the world I wanted to eat. It was a wacky day.
Breakfast — 6:00 AM
I didn’t have to decide what I wanted to breakfast yesterday morning because I popped a serving of overnight oats in the fridge before I went to bed last night.
I followed my method for preparing overnight oats, and in the morning I added the following:
- 2 tbsp. greek yogurt
- cinnamon
- raisins
- coconut
- almond butter
It was quite delicious!
Lunch — 11:30 AM
Once lunch time came around, we all needed a little break before the afternoon. I decided to head out with some other teachers for lunch. We went to Jason’s Deli for some laughs and their amazing salad bar.
This is a recycled picture, but it is basically what I ate for lunch.
Snack — 3:15 PM
After school I had a meeting from 3:30-5:30 to work on some curriculum writing. On my way to the school that the meeting was being held at, I snacked on my last of the three Luna bars I was sent to try out — the Chocolate Peanut Butter.
This almost beat the cookie dough flavor — it was goood!
When I got home around 6:00, I was greeted with a great card from my bestie “just because”. It definitely made my day!
And I put some flowers one of my students gave me in one of my giant mason jars. It is also Teacher Appreciation Week this week, so all the students brought in flowers today — too sweet!
After I got home, I did some weeding in my garden (not enjoying this mushroom compost as it is producing a boatload of weeds) and then took Charlie for a walk. By the time I got home, it was already almost 7:00. I had no idea what to eat for dinner and the Husband was out getting pizza with one of his buddies, so I went ahead and made pancakes!
Dinner — 7:15 PM
I followed my Greek Yogurt Chia Seed Pancakes, but instead of almond flour, I used coconut flour. So fluffy and delicious!
And after dinner, I had a few squares of Lindt Dark Chocolate — it was the perfect ending to a very sweet dinner.
I ended up the night watching Glee and reading in bed. Perfection.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week
! Have fun at school today!
Thank you!
Ohh I just bought a cookie dough flavor of the Luna Protein Bars…I’m all the more excited to try it now
It’s quite delicious!!!
Wacky Wednesday! Too fun! I hope you all have an amazing time!
The kids will go wild for this, I’m sure! Have so much fun!!!
boo! (enough complaining from this girl. sorry!)
Ooo, curriculum writing isn’t much fun. I think this is partly due to me never teaching the same grade so I can’t get familiar or comfortable with what I’m trying to teach. We have to take a whole week out of the summer to write ours
Have a WONDERFUL WACKY WEDNESDAY!!
The kids were great - we had so much fun!!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Thanks for all that you do.
And any day that ends in chocolate and reading in bed is a good one!
Thanks Parita!
We are in the midst of spirit week! Yesterday was twin day.. and today is Wacky Wednesday for us too! I put food coloring in my hair this morning and have on a funky outfit.
Kids will be crazy today here too, indeed! Unfortunately.. with the rest of the events for spirit week.. it is going to be an UPHILL climb to the weekend!!!
Oh I hope you guys had fun yesterday too!!
Lindt dark chocolate! My favourite, I love the 85%. Nice eats, lunch looks yum. I really need to get back in to reading, so hard to switch off the laptop at night.
I turn the laptop off in between 8 and 8:30 and I’m in bed by 9 reading! Every night!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! The Wacky Wednesday sounds like fun-you are an awesome/creative teacher!
Does coconut flour taste like coconut?
Sorry about the weeds:-( Maybe you could get a compost bucket and have your own? I would probably pick all my plants with the weeds. My husband bought cocoa shell mulch-it smells like chocolate (I opened the window just so I could have the house smell like it for a while;-) )
It does taste like coconut! It’s really good buuut you can’t use too much of it in recipes or else things won’t stay together or cook fully.
you guys are allowed to leave for lunch?? how long do you get?? we get 30 minutes and it never ends up being that long by the time we drop our kids off… lucky girl!
We have an hour lunch - it’s kind of unheard of, but a lot of kids in our district go home for lunch!
Happy teacher appreciation week!!!
. What a great day, a card for no reason AND pretty flowers??!! Lucky girl!
I did feel pretty lucky yesterday!
wait. jasons deli has an amazing salad bar? there is one right down the street i have never been to. WHAT AM I DOING?!?!
GO RIGHT NOW! It’s the best!
LOVE the pancakes for dinner! And I can’t wait to hear about Wacky Wednesday! Sounds like fun!!!
It was… wacky! Hope youre having a nice time at home!
Happy Teacher Appreciation week! My mom is a teacher so I definitely know how tough it is. Have a great day!
Thanks Sarah!
Those flowers are beautiful. Lindt is my favorite kind of chocolate - so so yummy!
For teacher appreciation week, one of my schools PTO’s washed all of the teacher’s cars! I was gone that day, so I didn’t get my car washed though.
That is SO nice!!
i already know what our perfect day together would be like… pancakes for breakfast, jason’s deli for lunch, and mexican food for dinner. of course all i think about is the food, but that’s a big part of it!
have a fun wacky wednesday!
That would be the greatest day ever.
Yummy eats! I love Jason’s Deli and could go there everyday!
I think reading in bed is the best way to end the night. I don’t get to do it every night, but when I do I just can’t stop reading!
Isn’t Jason’s the best?
Have you done a fertility update that I missed? hope not. been praying for you!!! you’re always on my mind!
I emailed you!
I got your email back I forgot to respond!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Those Choc PB Luna Bars are awesome aren’t they?! I think that’s my fave flavour….and I love using a mason jar for fresh flowers! I store lots of my dry food in mason jars so I have tons floating around my pantry. I’m going to fill one up with something pretty this week!
I love mason jars - they’re my favorite kitchen accessory!
Sometimes a girl just needs a night to herself. I haven’t had one of those in a while. I should kick the hubby out for an evening - except I think I’ll be the one ordering a pizza.
I like the way you think!!
I’ve definitely had those days before. Breakfast for dinner is the best!
Pancakes for dinner are the best. They are my go to “I don’t know what to make!!” food
I agree the cookie dough flavor of the Luna beats the PB, but just by a very narrow margin
Agreed!
I feel like teacher appreciation should last the year long, but I’m still waiting for the day when we treat our teachers as well as we treat celebrities. Such a good Glee episode last night!
Aw thank you!
Aw thank you! That’s so sweet!
That was so sweet of your student to bring you flowers! If I was a teacher, I definitely think the kindness from students would be the best part. The card was so sweet of your friend too, what a day! I am sure you felt loved!
I have been wanting to try coconut flour, but the local organic grocery wants an arm and TWO legs for it! And no more posting pictures of Lindt chocolate till I restock
It hasn’t been on sale around here in forever and I just ran out a few weeks ago.
In the days of social media where happy birthdays are left on your facebook wall, I think an actual card is amazing! It’s nice to have such awesome friends.
boo for expensive flours!!!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you for all you do for children!!!
Hey Chelsey! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile and I have NO IDEA why I haven’t said “Hello” yet!! Especially since we’re Mid-West neighbors! Love your recipes & fun bloggin’ spirit!
Happy teacher appreciation week!! your pancake look so good, I have to try out your recipe! I love breakfast for dinner, makes for the best endings to the day!
They were delicious!
Love the hot pink nail polish!
Thanks! It is all chipped though!!
Oh that sounds like a really great night!! A little dark chocolate goes a long way !!
That’s so sweet of your students brought you flowers. That would totally make my day! And pancakes for dinner would just make it even better. Sometimes I wish I could just eat breakfast for every meal!
Happy Teacher Appreciation week!
ive been the same way recently…not hungry, not hungry, not hungry…an BAM…starving. but with zero clue what i wanted. anyway, pancakes sound lovely at all hours of the day.
ps i used to love those luna bars but they made my stomach hurt so bad. i suffered it out a few times (because they taste so good), but finally had to let go of them. sad.
Annoying, right?
