 Negative, Ghost Rider...the pattern is full! 30 September 2015 This week one of my "official" duties at work was Hall Monitor. It's kind of dumb just how important this made me feel. I got to escort students to the bathroom if they needed it, carry a walkie-talkie and call over it if help was needed, and make sure no one came into the building (which was an epic fail because almost everyone but ME has a key, so they can come and go as they please and unless I tackle them like a line backer, there isn't a dang thing I can do about it). It was the simple fact that I was in charge of the hallway during testing that made me feel special. This goes to show that either too much exposure to tiny humans has rubbed off on me, or I've become an adult who is easily amused! Either way, it's not a bad thing. In fact, I've reminded myself often over the years that the best pleasures in life are the simple ones and the most important lessons we learn are those we learn as a child.
With mid-week fast approaching its end, I hope you have enjoyed some of the simple pleasures life has to offer, as well. Sadly, they made me give the walkie-talkie back, but trust me that's a good thing. Had I ever gotten it truly figured out, I'd have driven everyone bonkers talking over it like some hack Air Force wife on the flightline with a new toy. Thank you for carving out some time for me today. Carry on. This is A....Over and out!

About The Author
I grew up in rural North Carolina. When I was only nineteen, I moved away and became a military wife. My only aspiration at that tender time in my life was to create an adult life that "fixed" all of the "injustices" of my childhood. Secretly, however, I wanted to reach for the sky! I wanted to be a writer and find ways to "save the world" (my mother used to say, "You have Save the World Syndrome".). Mostly, I wanted to matter. Archives
