Am I A Glutton For Punishment, Or Am I Just A Glutton?

So school was out, right?  I was on summer vacay, right?  So why oh why did I sign up for a 12-day summer workshop to help kids from the inner-city transition to middle school?  Because they needed my help, that's why.

Today was the start of a 12 day program to help kids from an inner-city school make the transition to middle school.  I am working with two other teachers, each of us taking a subject, and helping the students get used to a middle school environment.  That means today, in 111 degree weather, we took a field trip.  Now, imagine yourselves deciding to talk a walk.  Not too bad, especially if you've eaten a large meal, or want the quiet of a summer morning.  Now imagine that walk is only SUPPOSED to last about 10-15 minutes.  Not too shabby, right?  Well, this walk lasted 45 minutes and it was on a a crowed, busy street, and, did I mention it was fraking HOT outside?  Well, as you can imagine, I now have very sore legs, feet that do not want to cooperate with me, and hat-hair.  Oh well.  It's for the kids.

Anyway, that's been my schedule for the past few days - getting ready for this mock middle school thing.   Sorry I haven't been "on the line" (if you've seen "The Internship" you'd get it) lately.  SO goes life.

But, this is Monday and so, I am working on a Monday Made It for you.  But alas, I will have to get back with the finished product tomorrow because it's half-way done and chilling in the fridge as I type. What is this? you may ask.  Well, it's called Banana Cream Poke Cake and I found it on Pintrest.  These pictures are from the original post.  My pictures will be posted tomorrow.  Judge for yourself if I nailed or not.  Sorry for the tininess of the pictures.

I'm off to finish this particular project with a fork and spoon.  

Until tomorrow, when I will undoubtedly need another 45 minute walk,
