Lunch Bunch

Okay...I am going to be nice today!! :)  

I do hesitate sometimes when posting things such as yesterday.  I mean one of the things, in case you didn't know, I try hard to do in my life is be a Christian witness.  Yet when I post things like that I wonder if I take away from my "credibility" but I have over the years come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect.  I have never claimed to be and am under no delusions that I am.  So I post because that is who I am and darn it that was how I was feeling yesterday wither it was right or wrong was not the point. That's one of the things that I have a hard time stomaching is when someone walks around believing that because they have Jesus in their life that they now walk on water just like he did. In all honesty I'm just barley treading water and that is even with arm floaties on!!

While I am feeling nice today I should warn you I am feeling spunky.  Why shouldn't I ...I am working on my second cup of coffee..and we are talking like soup mug sized cups here people...and it's going to be 70 today.  I am just tickled as pink as a piggie!!

I wanted to share a bit of my day from yesterday with you. One of the advantages of ALL my children being in school now is that I can actually volunteer up at their school.  Now please don't think I was that loving and devoted mom who was up their the second day of school...no not me.  I love my children with all of my heart but I just got the last of four children out the door. I took the first half of this school year to listen to the quite, clean and be able to take a shower without having to yell out that shower door that if I hear one more person screaming I'm going to come down there and smack some heads together...with love of course.  Yesterday was my first adventure as a Kindergarten Lunch Bunch Mom.  My job that day was to arrive at school before their designated lunch time and be ready to help six kindergarten classes in the lunch room open pudding cups, punch those straws into their drinks and any other little lunch needs they had.  Having four children..and a husband....and I new this was not the day to be a Dallas mom.  Which meant no heels and to dress for military action. (on a side note moms DO in fact wear heels to the playground here)  I had read the schedule and saw that I was the ONLY mom for the day...but this house mouse is not afraid of a challenge. I was happily surprised to see another mother there but quickly realized she would be of no help in her 4" heels and tightly fitted jeans.  There I was standing in the lunch room while hoards of hungry children rushed to their tables.  I  was on top of my game.  At one point I was putting a straw in a juice box, opening a fruit snack while I was getting a child a napkin..all at the same time.  At the end of lunch the children returned to their classrooms and I walked to the front of the school with the other mom.  She was obviously frazzled.  She told me that was her first time and it was NOT what she expected it to be.  I smiled and made some small talk.  She told me she had a big family and then asked me how many children I had...I smiled and told her four. Her mouth opened and this is what she said...I swear..."Good God...you have to many children...I have 2 and that is to many for us."  

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! :)
