i headed to wittmann today to volunteer my hour.  

i had shoped to talk to mr. walker about losing recess as a punishment...dahsiell (on wednesday) got in trouble for throwing sand on another kid...and he asked mom if there was something going on at home.

the loss of recess for the last 2 days had made him stir crazy.

ms. saunders was there instead (asst principal) so she listened to what i had to say, and suggested that sometimes kids have to walk the perimeter of the playground or run to the wall, etc.  i said PERFECT! that is what he needs as a punishment instead of having to sit around all day long.  he needs an outlet for all that energy stored inside him.

so anyhow, here's the fire alarm.  not the exact one (although i did go to see it, it's identical to this one, but just to the right of the boys bathroom door, inside the day care room).

no plastic cover over it, like at the high schools.  and it says LIFT.  not 'use only in case of fire' etc...

her comment to me was something like, 'it's RED, so that's the sign to not touch it, and it does say FIRE ALARM' and there's this key hole here, so that makes it official-looking too'

umm, really?  i get that my kid did wrong, but that's the reason you're giving me?  sigh.

 mom said she's take me out to dinner, so i opted for sushi at a new place that opened up near the ralph's by us.  they had AYCE for $23.95 plus we had a 20% off coupon!

 here were their choices:
(aside from the 'regular' nigiri)

 we ate A LOT.

 thanks, mommy!
