Made It Monday! Coffee, Freebie, and a New Job?

I am linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for a Monday Made It and I am sad that I have only made it to 1 out of 5 Monday Made It's.  Does that mean I am not being productive? Oh boy.  For me it has been a little difficult to start planning because I have been in limbo with jobs and not knowing what grade I will have plus we are moving sometime soon.  If you like coffee here is my Monday 

I made a cold coffee drink I actually like and it tastes oh-so-good!  I have been on the hunt for a cold coffee drink and every drink I have tried has just been - okay.  I do think the drink tastes much better without the protein scoop but hey, I am trying to lose a few pounds so I am using it as a meal supplement and because I do like coffee - I don't feel like I am dieting at all.  I would definitely try it without the protein first to see if you like the texture and taste before you go investing in protein.

1) I made the smallest cup of coffee that my Keurig would allow to make sure it was really concentrated (I used Starbucks coffee)

2) Here is my weakness, I used um, well, about 1/3 of creamer in the drink and I don't like the sugar free (tomorrow I will be trying artificial sweetener instead of creamer). 

3) So layered like this: creamer, 1 scoop protein drink, a handful and 1/2 of ice cubes, coffee.

4) Blend on Smoothie - it does make a difference.  It ends up being frothie which I like.

Note:  That is chocolate flavored protein which I probably would do vanilla instead but that's what I had on hand.  Overall it is pretty good and I stay full for about 4-5 hours.  

I really wanted to show other things and ideas I had for my upcoming students/class but since I didn't really know what grade or school I would be at I haven't been able to plan or prep so I have been revamping and adding to a few teaching units that I already have.  I recall Erica's post over at Erica's Ed-Ventures saying at some point (not in her own words I am translating here) you will look at some of your first products and think, "did I really put that out there?" I thought, "No, I won't think that." Well, hey, I opened up one of my units and I was 

E-M-B-A-R-A-S-S-E-D

so I redid.  I added 6 sheets of color word freebies in the preview too if you download that.  I feel so much better and the unit has doubled in size. So forgive me for it not being a DIY project but there is a good freebie for you.

Oh yea, I have been playing with this blog too. I  remade the header, button, and side-bars but they are a work in progress and I am learning as I go.  I love making them! It's relaxing to me.  

I know this isn't a tangible made it but I drove 2 1/2 hours away to an interview and I was offered a Kinder position.  I made it! I made it!  Okay, but now I am scared to death because I have taught 1st grade for 8 years and 2nd for 2.  I can't get into the room until August 1st, haven't seen the classroom, and have a zillion questions.  I will definitely be doing some KINDER BLOG STALKING.    I now have a direction - sort of (I don't know what the classroom looks like, resources, or furniture that I will have and won't until August 1st).  Talk about an emotional roller coaster.

Happy Monday!
