I survived!!!

I survived the last day of school! I roped three kids from church into meeting me at school on the last day for teachers (no kids on the last day for us) to help me pack and clean my room. It worked out beautifully! Three kids had to leave after lunch (it's amazing what promising teenagers pizza will do!) but one was able to stay with me until we were done...at 3! I was soooo exhausted at the end of the day, all I wanted to do was collapse for about 20 years. However, relaxing doesn't seem to be my lot in life...

My ward planned a end-of-the-school-year shindig for Friday, and I, thinking I'd be checked out by lunchtime, signed up to bring macaroni salad for THIRTY AND a "baked good" for the bake-off. I mixed up the biggest pot of macaroni salad I've ever made (and it was darn good, too), and threw together a blueberry crumb pie (one of the quickest desserts I know... use frozen blueberries, a frozen pie crust and a little struesal topping). While the ward party was fun, I hardly remember any of it...I was way to exhausted to notice what was happening around me. However, I DO remember one tidbit. I got the chore joy of lugging macaroni salad for 20 back home with me. Yup. Less than a third of it got eaten. Apparently my ward is abnormal and doesn't eat macaroni salad. Mental note to self...next time I'm asked to bring anything for thirty, bring half. Or eat it for a week.
