What will happen when you are NOT the center of attention?

Meet "the boys".  (They are spoiled and are Mama's Boys.)

They like to snuggle wherever it is warm.

We are starting to wonder... 
What will happen when they are no longer the center of attention?

How in the world will we ever keep them out of the baby's crib? 
(Thankfully, we've got time to figure that one out.)

Seriously? 11:30?

Was going to run to the post office on this cool, Saturday morning. I had my mind made up that as long as I got there by noon, I would be fine.

Busy working on getting the last of the wedding thank you's written and addresses found out. Thought I would go buy my stamps and then throw the bulk of them in the mailbox later today.

Guess I thought wrong.

The post office lobby closes at 11:30am.

Seriously? 11:30? (Thought for sure I had til noon.)

Change of plans: 
Guess I will try to buy stamps at the grocery store instead.

(or else they will have to wait until Monday... what's another day or two?)

Job is getting better for "the recess lady"

For the record, my job is getting better than it was at my last posting. For about a week now, I have had all of the holes filled in on my schedule. (Sadly, it took only a month...)

A good part of my day is spent on playground duty. I am a little concerned about standing outside in the Minnesotan winters for 2.5 hours each day, but they tell me "fresh air is good for everyone".

Now that I am pregnant, I am wondering how much fun it will be to take off my snow clothes whenever I have the urge to go to the bathroom...

Just discovered this week that I need to let the school nurse know of my pregnancy so that if any health conditions arise at the school, I can be notified ASAP because there are some things that I shouldn't be exposed to. Sadly, I never thought of that.... good thing someone told me!

Mr. Right and I just keep telling each other "Don't know... never been pregnant before"

A little worried how I will get out of the tiny kindergarten chairs once my stomach reaches epic proportions. Or how I will haul myself off of the floor after my reading group.... YEP, things could get interesting.

All in all, my job has been going better. I am recognized in pulic places.... when I go to Wal-mart, the kids have to wave in EVERY aisle that they see me in! I am also recognized in the hallways at school as "the recess-lady" or "the playground lady".

Ah, what can I say? (The simple mind of a child...)

My personal favorite is when they stop me in the hallway to say "Hey, I saw you outside!". (That is when I really want to say "NO DUH", but instead have to politely say "Yep, that was me outside on playground duty.")

Ah, yes... the simple mind of a child....
