Nic Narrates

This is a really good one.

I realize that tomorrow’s National Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day is supposed to be a good thing, but HOLY HELL IS IT TAKING OVER MY LIFE! Which of course, makes it this week’s Toolbag. I know you’re thinking “Nic, how can a nationally designated day be a toolbag?” but this here blog is my party and I can cry if I want to, okay?

This isn’t the first time an office Activity Team event has accosted every ounce of my brain power and sucked up work hours with abandon. But where I willingly took on the Secret Elf festivity, I was drafted into orchestrating an art activity that will *hopefully* educate and entertain no fewer than 30 (!!!!) first through third graders tomorrow morning. Pray for me.

And on the eve of the blessed day, as I gather my glue sticks and construction paper and poster board, it sickens me to realize that in the hour they have to complete the activity, I will have spent nearly four days in preparation.

Regardless, I’m hoping for the best here and am optimistic that I can handle it (I can, can’t I?). At least I know where their parents are if they get ornery or become mutinous.
