what happened was that I dropped off J Monday morning on my way to work, but as soon as we had entered the school Ms S was all over me, asking me to fix the plumbing in the kitchen. The weekend cleanup parents clogged up the kitchen sink and had not told anybody before school started again on Monday. Reluctantly, i agreed to take a quick look to see what needs to be done and subsequently called C, the maintenance coordinator, to do the actual fixing as i really had to get going because i was parked in one of the 10 min spots. Soon, i realized that my keys were gone and i could not remember where i had set them down. Did i put them on a table and some kid picked it up? did they get lost on the way in from the car? did they, somehow as C suggested, end up in the trash? patting down the kids did not bring the keys back, neither did a search outside, so i was forced to wait for C to arrive and hand me the spare keys. meanwhile, i had also gotten a parking ticket. not a good start into the week. Oh well.
anyway, while putting the last finishing touches on the easel, Chris turned the school upside down in search for my keys and in the process discovered a lot of junk in the kitchen area, a lot of which we ended up throwing out. inspired by her activities, i went through the tool shed, created a mental inventory list and threw out a bunch of broken brooms, rakes, tools, and other useless items. hopefully, our cleanup effort will help save the school (or at least make it easier for other people to find stuff and get around more easily). As always, J enjoyed playing with all the toys at the school, which for at least a few hours, all belonged to him.
