The Apple Never Falls Far . . .

I went to my mom's classroom today to help her reorganize some shelves and her cabinet and stuff in preparation for going off track/finishing the school year. And let me just tell you, I know where I get my cluttersome tendencies from. ;D I mean, seriously. My mom is never going to have to buy staples, paper clips, or sticky-tack ever again. Plus a lot of other random stuff that had been collected hodge-podge in these drawers since she was teaching in Vegas, inheriting random piles of stickers and flash cards and what have you from other teachers.

Yeah. As the pictures from a few posts back will attest, It was a familiar sort of job. ;)

Then after school I helped fill and tie maybe 300 water balloons in preparation for tonight's YW/YM activity--an annual, no-holds-barred, all or nothing water war. I didn't go (yeah, yeah, shame on me ;P), but Mom and all the girls came back quite soaked and well pleased.

The tragedy of the evening was, while I was busy filling water balloons, one of the dogs ran off with my brand-new black flip flop and tore it to shreds! And it was a nice one, too! *sigh.* Ah, well, C'est la vie. I may have to go buy a new set.

I'm afraid I missed my walk today, but all things considered, I think I spent my time in good causes. I'll just have to make it up tomorrow . . . if I can fit it in around the Cake Wrecks tour stop that (hopefully) I will be attending tomorrow evening, so long as I have a car to drive . . . (yeah, I know. I just rejoiced in my near-possession of the little red car. But Caryn's up for the last week of her single life, and she needs it to commute to work for another few days. *sigh.*)

So, that's my today. It was a good one, and I think I'll actually be able to fall asleep before midnight tonight. :) Being in a classroom full of 3rd graders is entertaining, but there's something about it that's just draining, too, even if you're just a sideline volunteer cleaning out the closets. :) I'm sleepy.
