It's the beginning of the school year for Wake County Year-Round Schools. Since I was a beginning year teacher (26+ years ago), I always had fresh cut flowers in a vase in my room when we have "Meet the Teacher" night. I got the bright idea to harvest some brown-eyed Susans from our little school garden. (I just got a few....I left some for the viewing enjoyment of our parents.) Well, I walked out the building, scissors in hand, eyeing the prize, thinking..."I'll just do this swiftly (~you know snip, snip, snip) and I'll be back in the school before anyone notices me taking advantage of our blooming garden."
As I was almost at the garden (remember...I was eyeing the prize), I felt my feet sinking is ankle-deep water! Yep...it has rained inches the past three afternoons and my sandaled feet were under water. GROSS!!! Instead of running back in the school with nothing to show for my dilemma, I snip, snip, snipped those flowers then squashed backed slowly in the door.
So even though my sandals and feet were yucky and I got myself into one of my typical situations, I got some pretty flowers for my reading table for "Meet the Teacher" night.
