I didn't think the Dew had any effect on me, but here I am awake. Eh... it's probably not the Dew keeping me up so much as my inability to breathe through my nostrils. So, here I am - choking down another Zicam in the hopes that it'll do the trick. I also have a tremendous need to burp and burp some more. This is obviously not me at my finest.
I went back to work today for a short 5 hour shift. I really had forgotten what working was like. Being there today was a bit like an out of body experience. The meager attempts at "rounds" were short drifts down the hall in which kids asked me if I was sick. I didn't really do a whole lot today. I just manned the phone awaiting calls from the children and from those picking up the children. I'm glad that I was not the one doing the picking up because I think I would have died trying to blow my nose and navigate a minivan around the airport.
I will be a first grade unit leader for a Girl Scout Camp a week from now. My girls are going to call me Nairobi and I will push for our group name to be The Elephants. If the director informed me correctly, my group color is green, so I'm thoroughly optimistic that things should go my way. So far, I have an elephant song that I will introduce to my little ones and an elephant craft. I'm excited. Bring on the games of Duck Duck Goose and Who Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar!!! I am sure that these kids will wear me out, but I am positive it will be more rewarding than the daily grind.
Ok... time to try to go to bed again.
