Lunch Lady

Ok, so Mondays I have been volunteering out at the school while the girls are at Vickie's. So today, I am copying for the fifth grade teachers and Mrs. Castro, the head lunchroom lady is in dire need of another person. She asks me if I could help, and so why not. I did have a new purple/black striped sweater, my hair all curled, and my high heel black boots-not a wise choice for lunchroom duty. So the lunchroom girls find me a beautiful black apron that matches my outfit. LOL!! And did I ever look fabulous in my hair net. Ha! Ha! When J went thru he says "Mommy, what are you doing in the lunch line?" It was great. Then a little 5th grade comes running "Lunch lady, lunch lady" at me. LOL! I never envisioned myself in this role. He had taken a shower in chocolate milk and I had to run out and tell everyone to stay still until I clean up him and the floor. Wow! Just like home only a bigger kid! LOL! It was so cute having the little 1st graders and Kindergartners hug me and ask me to help. AND it was amazing seeing how the 4th and 5th graders all clean the tables and mop the floors to help out Mrs. K, the custodian, not because they are asked or required too but because they volunteer everyday because they want to. I love CATHOLIC school and amazingly good kids. Every single child told me thank you in the lunch line today, EVERYONE! My kids are EXACTLY where they are supposed to be and no one could convince me differently.
J came up to me and said "Mom, I had to tell on someone today! Emma called me Jackson Sock" I had to laugh and got the "Mom, THAT is NOT funny, we do not call names and that is not my name" I asked why she called him that and apparently when I pulled his winter coat out of the dryer this morning, he had a sock stuck to it. I told him to be thankful that it wasn't a pair of underwear! LOL! He did not find that funny. He handed me the sock after lunch and told me to take it home. Ha!
Last Friday after lunch, the principal, Mrs. Keith went outside for lunch recess. Jackson and his buddy, Jack (who happens to be Mrs. Keith's son) were watching her and Jackson tells me when I pick him up "Mommy, Mrs. Keith was watching everyone at recess, that means someone did something REALLY bad. Jack and I think that this kid stole someone else's milk and he was in trouble but we don't know. BUT we're going to find out" Then Jack decided he would be on a mission when he got home to find out from his Mommy who and why the kid on the playground was in trouble. LOL!
I love the Kindergarten and 1st graders, they are my FAVORITE!! So cute and want you to hug them and acknowledge them.
Then, after the 3 lunch rushes, I went back to work and served snacks for Pre-K, copied for pre-k, put a bug center together, did a picture project, and then made 30 baby Jesus mangers for the Preschool class out of baby food containers. We recycle EVERYTHING. LOL! Now tonight, I am cutting out Advent characters and making them into ornaments with yarn for all the Advent trees at school. I LOVE it and will be sad to go back to work.
We close on this house Friday at 3pm and our new house next Friday the 19th. Yay!! Time for this to be over!
Soph has been bringing me a diaper when she wants to be changed and she says "Spongebob" so clear. Funny. I think she will be my easiest to potty train and we will start next month.
Well, my legs are killing me and today wore me out so off to bed I go!
