But just to make everyone feel better, here's the low down today:
- I had a 2.5 hour window between getting home from school (and after school activities) and when my class starts tonight (first meeting for this class this semester... no pressure ☺).
- When we got home, I scrubbed down crying children who played hard this week and got DIRTY.
- I also typed up a room mom handout.
- I supervised some computer games for some children who earned them ☺.
- I cleaned out three lunch boxes, one of which had spilled yogurt in it.... yummy.
- Looked through papers and folders that arrived home from school, signed appropriate ones, threw some away ☺, and filed a few.
- I picked up some random veggies from the CSA on the way home--still haven't looked at it much except to note that we got MORE eggplant (??!! sigh) and two nice-looking cantaloupes
- Dinner needs to be ready in 30 minutes and I still don't know what we're having.
- I'm too tired to make anything other than sandwiches--which is what we had LAST night AND for lunch today ☺.
- But it feels good to share all this with cyber space... ☺

A sweet comment I got via email!
Here is what we had for supper tonight. I made up a baking powder type biscuit . but just flattened it out. ( while I was making this I par boiled a dozen sausages in a fry pan with water). Then cut the flattened dough in 12 squares and drained the sausages. Rolled them up in the biscuit and baked in a pre heated oven on a greased cookie sheet, for 15 minutes. Served with a side green salad of baby lettuce out of the garden , a few green onions chopped and a tomato cut in 1/8 s.
There were lots for supper ( actually we only wanted 1 each). The rest are in the fridge and will become lunch tomorrow with pork and beans ( cause I’m hungry for them!) . and from there I will see ( hubby will probably sneak them from the fridge and think I didn’t notice! LOL). Makes a dozen sausages go a long way, and when I make that we don’t eat any bread so that’s another plus.
Hope this is an easy idea that your family would like.

I should add, too, that that recipe looks GREAT. I'll have to remember that next time I'm in a crunch. For the record, we ended up having something my sister does a lot: chopped up a zucchini and a carrot finely in the food processor, sauteed them until tender in a bit of olive oil, poured in a can of spaghetti sauce plus some fresh basil from the garden, and tossed the whole mess with some penne. Tasty, pretty quick, and pretty healthy.
