Cornflake Meatloaf

The first day of school was a success. We had no crying. The girls both enjoyed their day, but Makayla was completely pooped out... I was too. After the kids are out of the building I have about an hour and fifteen minutes to get my halls and classrooms swept out, rugs vacuumed, trash taken out and bathrooms cleaned. I thought that sounded like plenty of time, but I hauled butt and barely got it done! I hope I'm quicker today or Tina will trade me in (for a tall, good looking, male janitor of course). Good thing I had made my meatloaf the night before and just had to pop it in the oven. I made up the recipe and was crossing my fingers it didn't taste like dog food. Luckily, it didn't!

Here are the girls waiting for the bus.
