Round #1. Does anyone else think I look like a muppet? Standing alone in front of a class of 5th graders and their teaching staff is embarrassing enough, but having to stand there TWICE while 13 whipped cream pies are hurtled at you is kind of humiliating. Particularly when a plate sticks to the side of your face. So how'd I end up in this spot? It starts with a brilliant idea someone had. Ok, that someone was me. And it sounded like a good idea at the time to challenge 56ish 5th graders to see who could do more service over spring break, me or all of them put together (like I said, brilliant idea). After all, I was driving all the way to Seattle to help my mother-in-law get her house ready to sell (drive time counts if you are going specifically to do service). That's 26 hours just for driving.

I certainly do not like having the hard things done for me... Everyone expects us k9's to be in shape and motivate. Dad may lead me to treadmill but I am the one that says on for hours at a time.

I love your lists!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rufus! You might be interested in this - we might get the chance to visit a puppy truck! It's actually a nice, safe truck they transport puppies on to their new trainers. After the program they get to be guide dogs for a special person. If it works out I'll post all about it!
