My Fanny Needs No Pack

I need to
dedicate a blog post just focused on my babyFek excitement....which is immense.

I need to share Jack's exciting news.

I need to
email
Ashley to tell her she needs this for Marley-Jane....(I love Halloween)Essie to tell her how much I love her and to find out all that's going on...in GERMANY!
Lora
and
Amy
because I miss my friends

I need to
mail
packages to
Alison
Lora
Mr. Merry Mike (your birthday present is coming I swear...)
and
Susie

I need to
call
Ash to talk about Arkansas (yep...you'll never believe THIS one....) and see how her move is going...
Susie
JENNY ROSSER!
and Frani

I need to do these things because I love my friends, and I really suck at emailing, calling and mailing.....I mean, really suck. 10 step program suck.
But I think about them all the time, sooo
I have to work on this.
I do.
It's my back-to-school-years resolution. (which really is the new year for me)

I need to do lots of things....
and
I think I'm going to be better,
I feel it....
but
this week I just needed to adjust to our new school routine.
Meaning less sleep for everyone and more driving for me (both of which make me cranky)This year I'm working at the school, as a monitor.
No, no....it and I could not be any less cool.
I have to wear a whistle....which I so do not want to have to ever use...
and I was told to wear a fanny pack. (what the?!?)
Which clearly by the look on my face was obviously never ever in a million years going to happen, so I haven't been asked to do that again....

I had no idea what I was getting myself in to when I volunteered for this "job"...
I had no idea it was a real job...
and now...
I have to spend two-and-a-half-hours-that-seems-like-twelve with second and fourth graders while they eat lunch and go out for recess.

Frankly I get tired of me...

"No running"
"Be quite"
"Girls...girls....girls.....stop talking girls....GIRLS!"
"Be quite"
"Please don't use that word"
"Be quite"
"Stay in LINE"
"Be quite"
"We are going to be last again because y'all can't be quite"
"Seriously?!? BE QUITE!"

a little girl brought me a flower she picked from the playground today though...
so
maybe it won't be that bad.
And
maybe eventually they'll listen to me.
because
I SO do not want to have to use my whistle
ever.
