Today I deserved a Shamrock Shake.
I only get one during the whole month of March as a treat to myself.
Well, today was that day!
My day was run amuck by leprechaun chaos at my school.
As an interventionist, I work with students from many classrooms during the day. Every half hour it is a different group. Each classroom had their own shenanigans today so each child had a story to tell while bouncing up and down like a green superball:
– a flash of green by the door
– little green footprints across desks
– message of “Tee-Hee, Tee-Hee, you can’t catch me!”
– chairs turned over
-leprechaun traps set hoping to catch one this weekend
– small gold coins found in the hallway
– eating green bagels and drinking green milk
– the leprechaun turned the toilet water green
The most surprising thing- a first grader pinched me! She said that is what happens when you don’t wear green. That was a new one for me! (Honestly, it is March 15th and wearing green didn’t even cross my mind this morning)
So at the end of the day, feeling drained by my cold, St. Patrick’s Day mayhem, and an overabundance of student energy, I decided to join in the festivities by starting my weekend with a Shamrock Shake.
I sat in the peace and calm of my living room sipping my shake and savoring the silence.
Yes, I deserved this Shamrock shake today!

You certainly earned that Shamrock Shake! What a day! I like the details you have in your list helping me feel the chaos of the day.
I haven’t been able to have one in years (now I live dairy free), but my mouth watered at your picture.

That Shamrock Shake was well earned. After the kind of day you had I may have added a touch of Baileys Irish Cream to the shake. That would still keep it Irish.

Ah yes- Bailey’s did come later that Friday night. Definitely had to keep the Irish celebration going.

The classic Shamrock Shake! Sounds like there were plenty of shenanigans happening at school. I could envision the energy level by your description of the students bouncing around like a green superball.

Superball was the only word I could come up with so I am glad it conveyed their energy levels.

I think turnign the toilet green is funny but I never heard anyone talking about it until I read it in your slice. The shake sounds delicious and Bob’s idea is a notch better!
