Drizzle Dilemma

So today was pretty normal, and I was going to put a recipe up—but something better happened. (And the turnout was a bit of a flop, to be honest.)

I was at work, like usual, except I got called in half an hour early—1500 instead of 1530. I realized today I've lost near any touch I ever had with pre-schoolers. I have no idea how to work with them after spending nine months with school-aged kids. Though there is a lot of gray areas, especially for certain kids, the atmosphere is different. I miss it.

Anyway, my own room was hectic today, with over a dozen kids for almost the whole time. When we usually drop down to about eight or seven, we still had eleven. In a hot room. With some very strong personalities. So, we ignored the overcast sky, and went outside. Mega relief!!

I was so glad to be out of the room, I let my crazy show and smiled up at the rain when it came down (barely!) for a quick shower. No harm done, yes?It's spring, there was brief rain, it's beautiful. I love the rain on my face and in my har—it goes a little curly. Very much appreciated.

Anyway, after the rain stops, we see a parent coming to get kids, and walk over to our sign-out sheets.

The whole clipboard—receipts, accident reports, this and next week's sign in/out sheets…they're all wet and soggy.

Then me, being the seamstress and superheros I am…walk into the laundry room, and pull out…our craft iron!!

Don't laugh so hard, it works! Fifteen minutes later, after the dinosaur heated up, I was proudly wiping off the clipboard, replacing the pens, and re-assembling our weekly paperwork.

May I say…awwwwwwwwwww yeah! I normally wouldn't do this, but…like a BOSS!
