Well, another day done and I am dog tired. I had to go to my son's school and recruit new cub scouts and parent leaders. It was a blast. It's nights like this that I enjoy living in the south. I dropped my son to another leader to take him to his den meeting while I ran the recruiting at the school.
We are sitting on a park bench outside of the karate center where our sons take lessons just across the train tracks. I am now sitting in my car waiting for one of the south's longest line of train cars - 106 box cars later, I finally get across the tracks. It's in the 90's down here with no relief in sight - there is a new kind of heat in Indian Trail, NC. My cell phone is ringing off the hook with parents asking where the meeting is, what time the meeting is and should they bring their son.
Two of the other leaders came to the meeting and they are also a part of why I do what I do. They make working together so much fun and stress-less. I couldn't work with finer people. They remind me so much of the friends from my early education days, who are also the same people planning my 25th high school reunion that I can't make it too. I am going to miss seeing those people. All these years later, and I enjoy calling them "friend"
Anywho - I finally perfected my recipe for the best chocolate chip cookies. My kids friends can smell a sweet treat from the bus and my house was crawling with kids looking for a treat. Good thing I baked 5 dozen. I love to see a happy child.
Anyway - I have to and work at the school store at 6:50 AM and give the teacher a break at lunch time at 11:30 so she can eat in peace. I will sit with the class and watch over all of them, open ketchup, pick food up off of the floor and walk them back to class.
Time to prepare for the community tag sale on Saturday.
Can you put a for sale tag on a dog?
