Quick note or two...

We've been busy, so that's why I haven't been on here. Sorry. But as you all know, especially you working Mom's who know......Life Goes On!!!!!!!
A few points...

• We went to the Chatanooga Fish Aquarium last weekend. Both Natalie and Bradley LOVED it! Natalie's got some pics to post later on her blog.
• I've been busy at work. The teachers have a Gala of Table's breakfast the day before the students start back up. I hosted a table with my company...Big Brothers Big Sisters. There were probably 40 or more tables with different companies tables all decorated! It was really cool! I enjoyed it.
• The first day of school started this week....yesterday. I have really forgotten....actually I don't think I ever realized how so structured it is inside the school. They get from one class to the next in no time. It's much quiter than I thought it would be. I am patiently waiting for everyone to get their schedules in tow before I step in and start lookin' for those little ones who need some positiveity in their lifes. Can't wait!
• Today......................(this is why i am posting now) I went and visited the school cafeteria at lunch....only to get a birdseye view of the chaos. It wasn't chaos. What I saw was hundreds of primary children scavaging through the lunch line in quite an order. LITTLE CHILDREN...like 5 and 6 and 7 year olds. A teacher was between every oh...10 or so children. all I could think about was.........OMGosh....Natalie next year will be amongst this crowd. These little kids are getting their own food off the tray line, with their own trays in their little hands, MAKING THEIR OWN FOOD CHOICES. ~ okay....yes, Natalie makes her own food choices at home, and when we go out to a buffet style restaraunt...she does as well...but I (ME) get the food off FOR her. Otherwise she'd have a bunch of it all on her plate, and she'd eat NONE of it. I know her. but these kids, were doing for themselves....at 5 years old. It scared me....the thought of letting her loose on her own like that. Just watching all those kids doing for themselves.
• enough............i have to go now.
