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....
