Fall Schedule of Items Requiring My Presence, or My Chauffeuring or Prep Skills

Another reason to keep that bourbon on hand.

I tried out the Monday schedule today. On three hours of sleep (my and Pat's faults). Not a good idea, even without my work duty being Kitchen/snack, which is always sheer hell; even though I prepped all the food at home; even though I brought in my own coffee and coffee cups so I could take those dirties home and lighten up the in-class dishwashing load.

Mali, stuck in the nursery for the first time in six weeks, screamed like a fiend much of the time. She became hysterical near the class's end, and I ended up doing the kitchen cleanup with her sitting on my hip or howling in her stroller next to me. One of the nicer moms helped me dry and put away the wet dishes, but even so I was freaked and frantic. No Ir0n Chef America appearance for me.

I thought I did good--the kitchen was clean and scrubbed down, the cabinets were locked (the key has to be retrieved from and returned to another room), I put away my apron and clipboard (two other separate areas at the other side of the school), I remembered both Leelo's and Mali's backpacks, I emptied my mailbox. I even managed to squeak in a quick nursing session to help poor Mali deal with her about-to-emerge upper tooth. Whew.

Except just now I realized that I neither cleaned nor unplugged the pot of decaf coffee. I hope the building will still be there in the morning.
