As a kindergarten teacher, I am constantly moving quickly from one activity to another. Sprinkled throughout this spastic chicken dance, are hundreds of redirections, reminders, scoldings, compliments and words of positive re-enforcement.
Perched upon a tabletop in the corner of my room is my open laptop. I keep my email open and at the ready for notes from the secretaries, pleas for last minute supplies from fellow teachers, and reminders from parents who might have forgotten to send something in with their child. (As the past president of the FPO- Forgetful Parent Organization, I can totally sympathize with every single stressed parent.)
I took a moment yesterday during snack to quickly glance in my inbox, when my eyes caught an unfamiliar email address. I reminded the children to not talk while eating (for the four-THOUSANDTH time) and sat in my chair.
I looked at the email again. I opened it.
Hi Vodka. It’s me.
A friend of mine found some of his old friends though Google, and I’ve been trying for a while to find you. Imagine my surprise when I did… I hope this really is you. Please email me back, cause I would love to catch up and see what you are up to. Please, please email me back.
Clint. (Now he didn’t say THIS part, but I will. YOUR OLD COLLEGE BOYFRIEND.)
Oh. My. God.
*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!*
ReplyDelete1. I probably pass you on the Stop talking with your mouth full since we have to eat lunch and snack with them.
ReplyDelete2. I hate last minute emails from the schools that say they are having an early release that sends us into a tizzy since we offer before and after school care.
3. You are really going to leave us hanging???????
OMG! WOW! YIKES! That's how I would feel.
ReplyDeleteWas he cute?
well I think that is just perfect. Btw, I don't know if I have mentioned it yet but I am for sure your biggest 'new' fan. I taught pre-school forever and then Kindergarten for the last 3 years (until we moved 3,000 miles away last year) and I can so relate to so many of your posts. I have showed my whole family the post about Frank's grandma and shared it with a friend back in California, I thought it was the funniest thing ever. I was going through some really hard times a couple of years ago and my kids in my class were the light of my day and got me through some really hard times. Reading your blog makes me miss the kids a little. :)
ReplyDeleteBow chicka wow wow!

ReplyDeleteOohhhh, is this good? Was he a jerk? A good guy? If he was a jerk, don't think maturity changed him, but if he wasn't, oh my goodness! You need to email him back... maybe he want's to see you... have a date? I wonder if he's cute. He may be cuter with age!! Keep us up to date!!
ReplyDeleteOh my hell!!! You may remember that a very similar thing happened to me last year. I hope you're as excited as I was!! But, please, for the love of all that is holy, give us some details!!!
ReplyDeletehmmmm....was he good? i mean that would def determine my reaction...
ReplyDeleteI got a similar msg on FB from my old college boyfriend. We even dated after college - 6 years total and almost married. It is UNSETTLING to put it mildly!!

ReplyDeleteI know, I am not a pessimist, just a realist! You are deserving of a good relationship, not just any old relationship. So, with my caring thoughts - get in touch for goodness sake!

Vodka, don't forget... dinners only, no funny business... and nothing crazy!
ReplyDelete:D
Wow! Keep up updated
ReplyDeleteI would be more excited, but my old boyfriend was a jerk.
ReplyDeleteI agree with two chicks...

ReplyDeleteMaybe this is P. Charming you recently wrote about? You know how the "prior boyfriend" is working out for me -- Good Luck!!!
ReplyDeleteO.M.G. How exciting! They "guys" always show up when you least expect it! Have fun! You deserve it :)
ReplyDeleteSo... did you email him back yet? (I wanna live vicariously through you since I haven't seen prince charming anywhere around here.)
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what happened to me (except I was the instigator and found my old college boyfriend on facebook). Both been married to other people, both been divorced, both got three kids... we started chatting, phoning, visiting and have now been back together (after 20 years apart) for just over a year. It was MEANT TO BE! (said in a voice of excited doom, whatever that sounds like).
ReplyDeleteIt can work! Do let us know how it goes :-)
Wow! 32 years! Have you written him back!?!
ReplyDeleteStart crash diet NOW!
ReplyDeleteO.M.G. Pitter pat pitter pat be still my heart...whew! Ok. Now, go have some fun. Even if you are just friends or talk once or twice, it's nice to cross paths sometimes with old flames.
ReplyDeleteTwenty five years after we saw each other last, mine showed up where I worked. I saw his chiseled good looks that he'd grown into from his cute baby face and practically swooned. (damn it, I'm married!) I walked up to him and said, Jay? He took one look at me, grabbed me and picked me up off the floor, saying, D? You are F...ing gorgeous!! Ok so I swooned some more... But ohh baby doesn't that do a 43 year old heart good! I dined on that one for ten years...(oh yeah, that's me, I'm effing gorgeous :D) LOL He lives in the Cayman Islands and has money now, what the heck was I thinking!! Haven't seen him since.
So I say, enjoy the moment!!
Sounds like the new year for you is off to a rousing start. :D
ReplyDeleteJust threw up in my mouth a little. Cause that's my worst nightmare.
ReplyDeleteAs rocky said to drago, "go for it" !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat, what what?????????
ReplyDeleteMore please, I promise not to talk while eating if you tell us more.
xoxo jj
If that's a good, "Oh. My. God." I say "Go for it!" : )
ReplyDeleteHe has impeccable timing!
ReplyDeleteDid you get that giddy school girl feeling with butterflies in your stomach? :) Gosh, I miss that feeling.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now that's fun! Keep us posted please.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the rest of the post?
ReplyDeleteDoes this have anything to do with the trip to Chicago? I feel a story coming!
ReplyDeleteDetails please! Lots of glorious, glorious details! :-)
