I joined the PTO this year and found they were mid-way through planning a Color-A-Thon<\/a> fundraiser.\u00a0 It seemed like a very weird event, but everyone swears they are fun.\u00a0 The idea of running and having people throw colored powered in your face was a tough sell for this family.\u00a0 I couldn’t talk either kid into coming, though truthfully I didn’t try overly hard because I didn’t really want to go either!\u00a0 But, I’m on the PTO and we needed more volunteers, so off I went this morning in the cold and in the drizzle.\u00a0 There was plenty to do and the time flew by!\u00a0 During the run I ended up working a color station and throwing pink powder at everyone as they went by. I thought that would be a good choice, considering my current breathing situation, but it turns out I probably inhaled more powder than I would have if I were running!\u00a0 Oh well!\u00a0 I worked with a fun lady (another PTO person) and the morning flew by quickly.\u00a0 The drizzle stopped just as the run began and everyone had a great time!\u00a0 Lots of kids were there and many asked if we could do it again next year.\u00a0 We’ll see.\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n

Pretty in pink!<\/p><\/div>\n

Then I got home, took a quick shower, started to eat lunch only to be interrupted by a traumatized Eve who just discovered an American Doll massacre in her room, thanks to a bored Arlo.\u00a0 It took her awhile to recover.\u00a0 The dolls will be headed to the hospital tomorrow morning.\u00a0 Then off to the grocery store, home to drop off groceries, then off again for First Lego League.\u00a0 FLL is a challenging group of newbies this year.\u00a0 Needless to say, I am enjoying my well earned glass of wine tonight!\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is a no-school day, except now I’m a teacher and have to go to school! Bummer!!\u00a0 And double bummer for my kids, they have to go too!\u00a0 Haha.<\/p>\n

This was the weekend that wasn’t.\u00a0 Maybe next weekend I’ll make it all the way through the Sunday paper.\u00a0 Good thing I don’t attempt the New York Times!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
