After a fun and relaxing weekend it was nice to have dinner planned and marinating last night – it always makes Monday better! I spent yesterday shopping – I hit up Target, Trader Joe’s, Costco and the mall! Brady was at the Browns/Bengals game in Cleveland so I had the day to myself. After a morning spinning class and a quick shower – I spent the day wondering, but didn’t end up finding much.
Today at school my third graders took the OAT (Ohio Achievement Test) so it was a boring day at school. I felt so bad they were struggling through the million page test while all I could do was sit back and watch them. At least we don’t have to do that again until April.
After school, it was so nice out, I ran 5.5 miles! It felt good to be outside in the sunshine. When I got home from the run I showered and starting working on our easy supper. Brady had requested Fish Tacos so that was the plan. I still follow a recipe from Cooking Light from forever ago, although I don’t really follow any recipes I just used them as a guide.
Here is what we had tonight:

- fresh tomatoes

- Trader Joe’s refried pinto beans with salsa mixed in (the gross red mushy stuff)

We scarfed this down and then hit the couch! I had some hot cocoa for dessert and we are going to head to bed!
