So you might remember that I’m taking some steroids for my voice, and they are really proving their worth in all areas! Today I hauled the big tree trunk out of the basement at school and took it to the playground. By. My. Self. Boo-yah!*
Ok, it’s not really that heavy, but it’s still impressive, no? I hear you out there asking, “Why on earth did you have a tree trunk in the basement of a preschool?” Well, it’s another dead dream. Years ago I drew out the plans for a cool little loft in my room that was a combination crow’s nest/tree house. I bought diamond willow sticks for the railing and had the kids help me take the bark off the tree, um ……. four years ago? I’ve accepted that it’s never going to get built, and I’m just letting go. Excuse me *sniff* … I need a moment…..
* I don’t actually know how you’re supposed to use that phrase. I’m just goin’ with it.
