a day in the life...a normal Wednesday

 

Happy Thursday (again) and bonus blog post day! When Joyce mentioned she was doing a link up for a day in the life post, I couldn't help but join in. I love these types of posts! Here was my Wednesday. Happy reading!

I wake up every morning between 5:30-5:45. The first thing I do is let the dogs out, turn on the lights, and make my coffee. Most mornings I like iced coffee, but when it's cold, I prefer it hot. I've had hot coffee everyday this week. Isn't my mug cute? After I let the dogs in and feed them for Jonah, I sit and read blogs/correspond on my own with the comments. Sometimes when I'm done with that, I'll work on a post for the next day. 

This is what each morning looks like with the pups; they love to play! On this morning, I folded some clothes for both Jonah and myself, then made my lunch and to go drinks (water and protein iced coffee). I took the dogs back to Jonah's room, then went to put up my laundry. I always make my bed while the moisturizer dries on my face, then I start with makeup, hair, and I end with clothes. 

Here's the outfit I chose for yesterday; I was both comfy and cozy, and I'm still getting my money out of this cute Amazon sweater. 

I came downstairs and put on this pretty lipstick and took a picture to send Chris. He asked me to do this a long time ago, and told me it brightens his day. Isn't that sweet? I ended up removing this lipstick when it got darker on me, then replaced it with my usual neutral. This makes me want to find a burgundy lipstick, though! 

I loaded my car and let it warm up, then drove to my church and called Marilyn. I do this every morning! I love this about our relationship. I always call my mom next as I drive to work. Look how pretty the trees are at my church!

I always walk in around 8:15-8:20. I put my stuff away, then kind of chill/talk to co-workers until 8:40 when I walk outside for car line duty. 

Thankfully it wasn't as cold Wednesday! I wore my puffer vest instead of the coat I've worn all week.

I went down to work with my little first grade friend, then made it back to my classroom until I left again at 10:40. I have a huge break in my mornings, so I use this time to do personal things like pay bills, scroll socials, journal, and anything I need to do to help anyone. Actually that's the first thing I look to do, but nobody ever needs anything, so I do all the other things.

Look at these cute fifth graders I saw on IG yesterday! They were dressed up for our Veteran's day program and parade. The one second from left is one that I work with sometimes; he is a doll! 

I work with 4th grade at 10:50, 5th grade at 11:40, then my lunch starts at 12:30. Second grade comes in at 1:00, then third grade at 1:50, then I leave for my 1st grade friends at 2:45. Each class is 45-50 minutes long, so you can see why my day flies. From there I walk a couple of students out at 3:40 and walk out for the day at 4:00. I always, always, always call Chris when I get to my car; we get off work at the same time. I came home yesterday to admire my newly painted garage, then I met Chris for dinner. 

He makes me laugh really hard; we're terrible at selfies, because he's so tall. It works best when he stands behind me, which is my favorite. I think we're cute together! It's been a long time since I've been this happy, friends. We have a deal that when we eat together, we spend half the time across from each other so we can see each other's eyes, then when we're done, he sits next to me so we can be close. That's my preference. 

After dinner I went to choir practice until 7:30, then I came home afterward for the first time since school started. Nobody could do Rotolo's on this night (both of them had great reasons), so I was glad to come home. I've been tired the past couple of nights, so it felt good to be here. I headed upstairs at nine to wash my face and lay down, and I talked to Chris on the phone until I got sleepy. I would much prefer to talk to him than watch TikTok videos. 

So that was my day, in a nutshell! I can't wait to read your posts about your day. Thanks for reading my bonus blog post, friends. Love to all!
