Fall 2012 #3: The Oatmeal

Mandie Guinn made pumpkin oatmeal and brought said oatmeal to school in a crock pot, and had it there waiting for anyone to come along to enjoy it.  I was the first person there, eating this most delicious breakfast.  Thank you MANDIE GUINN!

Then I wandered with my pumpkin oatmeal into the Title I room to chat with two fantabulous peeps in there about a kid who needs some reading help. As we chatted, one wonderful teacher asked how I was doing and I told her that I was feeling pretty sad, but hanging in.
She answered, Well, a friend's death tells us that we need to spread the roses any way we can.
Then the second cool teacher added:  And it also tells us to spend all the god damned money.

Clearly, a great start to a rainy foggy Monday. Pumpkin oatmeal.  Funny, smart teacher pals.

We wrapped this Monday up with a visit to the Musical Arts Center to hear #1 son play in a jazz combo.  He played splendidly.  So fall, so good.

75 will be a lot of posts for one season, but if we follow Pronto's advice and go for quantity over quality, we should do just fine.
