I'm really starting to feel the pressure of the upcoming school year. I've been a busy bee creating, typing, cleaning, cutting, and laminating.

However, the fact that Monday is seriously halfway through August makes me feel nauseous. I know I didn't get nearly as much done this summer in terms of organizing and developing my curriculum as I had planned, and now I really need to kick it into overdrive over the next couple of weeks! To make things more stressful... in the span of just a couple weeks this is what I have on the table:
- two weddings yayy! (8/26 and 9/10)
- Sean's surgery (8/29)
- staff orientation/teacher in-service (9/1-9/2)
- first day of school (9/6)
- "School Law" grad class starts (9/7)
- moving into the new house! (9/16)
- half marathon (9/18)
- my birthday and Sean's birthday (9/11 and 9/20)

Needless to say, in order to prepare myself to get through September alive you may not be hearing from me. Maybe if I cook up an awesome recipe or achieve a great success I'll drop in, but no promises :) 

I tried preparing kale a different way and I'm still not a fan. Oh well, I still have my brussels sprouts! Here's my attempt at making a hot salad with kale, baby broccoli, zucchini, and grape tomatoes. The veggies were good, I just couldn't get over the taste of the kale :/

*I thought it was necessary to edit to add that I am SO happy with my Paleo/CrossFit experience this summer, I know it has positively changed my life. In a two month span I have gotten stronger in unimaginable amounts, increased my daily energy, gained confidence, learned how to cook and truly enjoy clean foods, and had a blast while doing it. I can't wait to continue this lifestyle through the school year, I have a feeling that being busy and having a structured schedule again will really help me attain bigger and better goals.
