Life in My World

Aargh! Life in my world these days feels a lot like playing catch-up, which is so NOT my favorite thing to do! I thought things would ease up this semester since Whitney is no longer doing Elementary Orchestra on Tuesdays and Thursdays; and while it is very nice not to have to run around on both of those days I still feel like I'm going a little bit crazy.

I was walking through the cafeteria looking for a student (which was unsuccessful because there were 800 kids in the area) and one of the boys I know offered me part of his peanut butter/chocolate-chip on wheat sandwich. I politely declined, but he insisted and then wanted me to try it in front of him! Yikes! I pulled a chocolate chip out and ate that, but there was no way I was biting into that despite the kindness it came with! It's probably a pretty tasty combo when made on good white bread in one's own home. Ha.

Whitney gave us a very interesting (fly by the seat of her pants) FHE lesson on Free Agency which included these cute, personalized handouts for each of us. She is a visual learner and so creative that her favorite part of any lesson is the handout or visual aids she makes.

We also let her be in charge of the game that night because the rest of us didn't care what we played. She chose Apples to Apples, which involved each of us reading our personality-trait descriptions (based on the cards we won during the game) at the end...these were my cards. I felt like they were strangely accurate for me, dang it.

I continue to have up to 15 games of Words With Friends going on all the time and continue to be skunked regularly. Cathy seems to be killing me the worst and early on as evidenced by this game we started yesterday! Either I should give up playing or start cheating for real!

Randy had to check Landon out of school today for his last elbow-related doctor's appointment (hooray!) so he brought Wendy (the other secretary) and I a burrito from Cafe Rio to split (I had requested this in detail this morning. I have instructed Randy that he is never to come to the junior high empty handed! It feels like battle conditions to me so food, beverages and treats are particularly precious to me.) It was so fantastic to have a good lunch at work, even though it took us an hour to eat it. Cafe Rio is still good when cold! I was a little bugged that I left work with a killer headache despite the large medicinal Coke he brought me. The kids (at school) were really on one today and I think there was no escaping the headache they gave me.

**Are you playing Catch-Up all the time?

Ever had a peanut butter/chocolate chip sandwich?

Any Words With Friends advice?**
