Kids

So, I made the discovery today that I’m not as averse to kids as I’d first thought.  Yes, I might find them a little bit scary and intimidating, but it doesn’t take that long to become comfortable in their presence.  Now it might be a different story of course if I actually had to play with them or something.  I can cope with smiles, hello’s, and shipping them from one parent to another more or less fine.  And I’ve only been working there two weeks.  If I’m not careful, I’ll be getting over the shyness in no time. 

So yeah, kids are pretty cool actually.  And I’m really glad I’ve taken this volunteering job.  I really hope I don’t have to give it up completely when I find a proper job.  I really don’t.  I’m going to miss it next weekend as I don’t have to go in.  But I’m back there in a fortnight.  Yay.

And The Child had left her lunchbox in school.  Goes to show what can be avoided by paying attention to what she brings out with her.  Still, I should perhaps have been a bit more lenient with The Ex.  I can’t expect him to remember everything now can I?  Especially when it’s a bit busy in the playground and stuff.  That said, I still manage to count how many bags she leaves school with, no matter how flustered I am.  Hmm.  Oh well.  At least it all worked out ok.
