Volunteering

As many of you know, I am on the PTA board and have to be at the school a lot. This week happens to be teacher appreciation week and last year I worked my fingers to the bone to make it great! This year, I swore up and down that I would have nothing to do with it. However, you all know me and I can't just let things go, and well, who's been at the school again cleaning up the food and goodies every day? I also made a cold veggie pizza with crescent rolls - Thanks Polly for the idea! They all really liked it and were appreciative of it being somewhat healthy since every teacher there is on weight watchers. It's also the half off book fair which I am working tomorrow and Friday is field day!

Speaking of Field day - it is not the field day of our time when there were races and you competed with one another. Now it is moon bounces and parachutes, dancing and just rambling around the playground. And snacks. I have to say I think it is pretty chaotic and am glad I am not a teacher on that day. The kids just wander around.

So, busy week. Add baseball to the mix and we are really busy! However, our late games may be cancelled this week since the lights on the field were hit by lightening - and it is supposed to rain even MORE tomorrow! Apparently there is a short in the lights now that is causing some sort of electrical current on the fence making it shock you. Just what we need - fried babies!

I just saw on the yahoo homepage about something called a derecho. It looked really cool, although it could cause tons of damage. And another random thing - they have a movie coming out in November called 2012 about the end of the Mayan Calendar. I love a good disaster movie!

The picture is of John Michael wiggle worming and refusing to go to sleep, slightly unusual for him since he is the one who falls asleep first.
