Well this year was to be my "GOLDEN YEAR"...
According to Doug, this was to be my golden year, with staying home with the kids and not working. BUT-- My friend Lisa R. told me about a great opportunity/job that was open at the kids' school. The Lunch cashier was leaving and a replacement is needed. I thought about it ... going back and forth with what to do. My main concern was over who would be able to take care of Alex from 11:30 - 1:30. 2 hours really is not that long, but to be gone everyday-- I'm not sure he would like it. THANKFULLY, my mother in law (bless her heart) stepped up to the challenge and agreed to pick him up from school and keep him. Needless to say, ALEX is ecstatic that he gets to spend time with NANA, and I'm just as happy bringing in some extra Christmas cash! So, last Friday I filled out the online application with the school, had an interview on Wednesday, hired on Wednesday, started my first day on Thursday and was handed the "keys" today to make me the official "cashier".
How hard can it be???? I mean, come on, a cashier in the cafeteria... it's a cush job!!!! Let me just say, that by the time the breakfast kids came through the line and they were handing out hall passes-- I believe I had a little bit of sweat on my for head.-- and ya know, it could be because I'm over weight...or maybe a little bit of both. The first 2 weeks is going to be a little bit of a transition as I start to recognize faces with names. I also feel like I should take a beginning Spanish class so I can pronounce the little Mexican kids' names. Let me tell ya, some of those kids are the CUTEST little things- so tiny and they speak so soft.
Hopefully I can post in a few weeks that the job has turned into a cush job! Right now, it is getting high marks for 2 great benefits.... a free lunch for me ( hahahaha) and being home with the kids when they are! OH I just thought of another benefit... I don't have to wear a hair net or serve the lunches.. since that is the case...I wonder if I'm still considered a "lunch lady". :)

I'm SO excited for you!! I think you will have fun! Maybe you got this job to avoid my harassing phone calls??! LOL! I guess I will be calling after 2pm for ad advice:-)
Aren't the Hispanic girls adorable? I've noticed my boys tend to "befriend" them! I'm not sure if it's because they "look" like their sister or what? Anyhoo, I' m up way too early so I hope this all makes sense when I read it later:-) Have fun and enjoy the kids!
