Busy Busy

OK, so this morning I was helping out at the school. There is a room currently being used for storage that we'd like to use as a service room for the breakfast program. Once we get it cleaned out, we can set it up with the remaining tables and the chairs. We still have to keep the floor clear so that the JK kids can play there when it rains, like today. We also put away a shipment of food (cereal, juice boxes, canned fruit, etc). We were going to put it in an old closet until we found evidence of mice. These buildings are so old. So then we had to send the vice principal out (what a great woman) to get plastic bins with lids. She took the other volunteer, (not that we could do anything) and I ended up washing apples and delivering them to the classes. (We get some *great* people here. A local farmer gives us enough apples for each kid once a week. So Fridays are apple day.)

The VP and the other volunteer brought me back a coffee, which I drank and now I am hyper. I just can't handle caffeine anymore. The other mommies were laughing at me when I went back to pick up DD.

DS and I got home a bit before 1 pm, stuffed lunch in our faces and headed to cousin's to change the VCR tapes again. She'll have 7 full 6-hour tapes when she gets back. Wowza.

On the way back, we saw some poor guy pushing his car. He didn't have far to go, but was having trouble getting started, so I helped. Then I was really late, so I had to pick up DD in the car. The school is always a zoo at home time.

So now we're home. The kids have their snacks and I'm coming down from the caffeine high.

I'm feeling a bit good-deeded out, so don't ask for any favours.

*whew* What a day.
