Lies, deceit and WWF
I had to work a little late last night so I met up with Scott, and Jade at the rink while Drew had a practice . I walk in and Scott says 'Watch this" and points to the bleachers inside the rink.
Jade is charging at two boys ( who were actually Drews friends that came to watch her play) and trying to throw one over the side of the bleachers.. I screamed.. " Jade, WHAT are you doing???" Scott says 'Watch closer" and I do. Oh Good God, she is play wrestling! The boys are pretending to be flung around like rag dolls by my 5 year old daughter. I burst out laughing , as did the father of the boys . I turned to him and said " Geesh , your sons already corrupted one of my daughters, now they are starting on the other.
Today, I took half a day off to volunteer at the girls school for the Jingle Bell Bizarre. I do it every year. Its a day at school filled with Christmas shopping, present wrapping, great food and a visit from Santa. Every year I do the 'Thank You' lunch. Thats a lunch provided to the teachers for their great work with our kids. I organize the event, set up and decorate all the tables, ensure all the donated food is heat up or cut up or poured or whatever it needs.
I have a confession.
I do it for the food.
There. I said it.
I love the teachers and they really do a great job but the food is amazing. At least 30-40 dishes
are donated from parents and its all homemade delicious food. Everything from pastas to meatballs to chicken in peanut sauce to cesear salad to scalloped potatoes ...The dessert table is 15 feet long! Think of the most amazing homemade buffet on the planet and thats this luncheon
I run around for 4 hours like a chicken with my head cut off but when I get to sit down and sample these dishes, it's worth it all. Of course, lunch with the gossip loving teaching staff is always a bonus too.
