My Day

*Worked all day (It's a blur, really.)
*Supervised Student Council pancake/porky supper during parent conference night (four hours).
*Tended to a Student Council kid who fell like a tree behind me and landed with a thud. (Can you say scary?!)
*Listened sympathetically to a venting parent for 30 minutes, in my coat, waiting to go home (she arrived five minutes after conferences ended and was there to talk to the person who was giving me a ride home.)

On the bright side...

*I have a job.
*Everyone was entertained by The Pancake Guy, and we raised some money :) Most of the kids worked hard.
*Conferences were relatively painless.
*The teenager didn't crack her head open, gush blood, or require major medical treatment.
*The parent wasn't upset with me.

So, I'm wiped out, but it could be a lot worse. And hopefully (with another four hours of conferences tomorrow), it won't be!!

  4. Yep! Just proves that if we dig in deep enough, we can always find SOMETHING good in most everything. Now, if only we all would try to practice that aspect to living just think what a brighter, better world this would/could be.

  6. It's so good that you're able to be positive about things that aren't necessarily so positive! (Did that even make sense?!) ;-)

  18. Somedays I wish I could have interesting day like that. LOL!

    My excitement consisted of wondering if my son was going to puke all over the table when my husband insisted we go to lunch... (He did fine.)
