That phone call to AT&T lasted 45 minutes and now it is time to leave for lunch (btw, today was my 14th anniversary at work and I am so productive to celebrate, ha)
I stop at Target on the way to school to pick up 2 personal pan pizzas for lunch. But before that I try to hit the ATM since it was payday and I had $3 in my wallet. No such luck, the ATM, the one that doesn’t charge me (I won’t go to one that will charge me) doesn’t work. I pay for the pizzas with my debit card and rush off to school.
I get there for recess. It is cold and windy. I see Hollace running around with a girl and a boy. She doesn’t see me. Eventually she runs by me and gives me a hug. Her friend is a cat and the boy that is running with them is trying to get the cat. Hollace is trying to protect the cat. While I stand there (a couple other parents are hanging around too) one boy comes up to me to ask why Hollace never wears jeans. Ok, interesting question. She doesn’t like them. Then another boy comes up to tell me that Hollace is obsessed with kiwis. I say “yep, you think so?”
We finally get to come in. Hollace’s best friend the cat, sits on the end then Hollace then me. Across from us are 4 boys. One boy tells me that he had a heart murmur, another tells me when he was in his mommy’s tummy he had the cord wrapped around his neck. And that he remembers it. A third boy tells me that his brother died when he was a baby. Ok, nice guys. Another boy seems shocked that Hollace doesn’t appear to eat her crust on the her pizza. I tell him hold one she saves it for last. All in all it was a fun lunch but now it is time to get back to class and me back to work where I get productive after all on the day 14 years later I start.
