I'm Going to Make it!

I'm going to make it! I already passed Task 1 & 2 on the first try. That was a BIG deal because not passing those for a bit would have delayed and possibly jeopardized everything. I've already turned in Task 3 and I'm still waiting for results. Now I have to put on my patient pants because I can't do Task 4 until after my instructional unit that doesn't finish until May 4th. After that I can write and turn in Task 4, wait to pass and then submit Task 5. With grading waiting time and finishing my data collection I will likely be done the middle of May at the earliest. This still gives me 2 weeks of buffer time for any possible blunders. Now to be patient...I'm hoping to channel any nervous stress into deep cleaning projects while I wait. No luck so far.

I tested several recipes for school this past week. I've never made homemade pretzels before so I had to do it at home and make sure it worked. It's hard sometimes to make recipes work for groups of 5 students and in a 46 minute class period. The pretzel lab had to be split into 2 days. Now I'm trying to figure out if I can make an artisan bread recipe fit in our class period time. Attempt number 1 failed. The dough left on the counter for 24 hours tasted BAD. Now I'm trying to see how it does in the fridge for 24 hours before cooking. We will see if I can make that recipe work. I also found and made a frittata recipe which worked great and we will cook this week.

Nothing much going on for us for Easter. The kids dyed Easter eggs yesterday. They hunted for their baskets this morning. We will have an Easter dinner tonight. We are changing it up and we are going to have French dip sandwiches and scalloped potatoes, along with green bean casserole, deviled eggs, and strawberry short cake for dessert.

Looks like Gabby has the classic Cannon sleeping face. This exact same face can be found on Papa, Noel, Scott, Piper, and probably many other Cannons. It KILLS me! HAHA!
