In my formative years there was a just say no campaign. Why then, with all that teaching, is no the one word I can not seem to utter (the word utter makes me think of udders but i digress). No matter how impossible the task or if I am double booked I still manage to do all of the odd tasks I am asked to do. From watching someones kids twice a week (for free) to raising baby chickens for my sons kindergarten teacher I seem to have no boundaries.
It may sound so simple, just say no, but it seems like a crazy thing to do. There in lies my insanity. I don't want to let people down or leave the in a lurch and I crave the praise my martyrdom bring to me.
For example - a friend of mine had chickens that were attacked by dogs I volunteered to go over, find, pick up and bury the dead chickens. Who does that?
So my conclusions is I must have a brain cloud like on joe versus the volcano. What else could it be.
Tiger moments for your amusement -
About a month ago Tiger told me he no longer wanted to go to school. I asked him why and he said because you weren't allowed to poop at school. I had to ask him about 3 more times to make sure I had heard him right. Some little guy told Tiger you can not under any circumstances poop at school and he was getting tummy aches. I told him I would ask Mrs. Kirbawy about it. He then shot a look of terror at me. He told me that I was not to talk dirty to Mrs. Kirbawy. So the next day I took TIger into the school and asked the teacher point blank if you were allowed to poop in the school. While asking this Tiger began to silently cry because I had said poop to his teacher. So I think I became a blasphemer in his eyes but at least he can poop at school again.
