Tonight's picture was taken during Mattie's last semester in preschool, in 2007. Every Monday, his class visited the neighboring retirement community/adult care facility. I always went with Mattie's class on those days. Not because the teachers asked me, but one day while being a Monday parent helper, I saw the teachers really needed an extra pair of hands getting kids jackets on, having them line up and taking them for a walk (which involved crossing a street) to the center. Of course once inside, the kids needed help interacting with the older adults and encouragement in whatever activity they were going to perform together. On this particular visit Mattie's class enacted the Three Little Pigs to the older adults. Mattie was the kid in stripes, holding up a wolf mask. This was a very well received performance and the kids had a great time hamming it up!

Do you ever have a day that gets commandeered by something you didn't expect. Well on top of a head cold, which is making me very sleepy, I received a 400 page document in my e-mail inbox today. This document has to be read before my Friday licensure board meeting. Perhaps this last minute dump doesn't bother some people, but it bothers me. So I pleasantly let it be known. It is not fair to expect professionals to stop what they are doing to prepare for a meeting last minute. As the chair of the board, I really have to read all the content so I can have an opinion on each of the documents before talking to other members of the board. So if I wasn't walking Sunny today, I was reading this document. Glued to our kitchen table! May tomorrow be a better day.
