sleeping on table tops with dragonflies and edgar

Today at work I fell asleep ontop of a pre-k sized table covered in my united blanket and head resting on my dinosaur pillow pet named Edgar! Thats not natural! Why, you ask, did i choose to lay ontop of a mini table?? Well because thats where Edgar happened to be and so thats where I planted myself. I was woken up by a student volenteer telling me nap time was over. I didn’t feel like an ass at all! ha!!! She then said "well don’t you look comfortable Ms.Kelly!" To which I responded " Why is nap time over?" I didn’t get to nap ontop of a table long enough! That hardley seemed fair! I had to force myself off the table top, and was very unhappy to do so!

Ada gave me Edgar because she is cool like that. Edgar is a pillow pet with grey and  black spots. At first I thought he was a Hyena. Its a silly thought, You don’t see much stuffed Hyenas now days, but it didn’t stop me from thinking he was one. But Im glad he is a dinosaur because dinosaurs are awesome, and they don’t laugh like a Hyena! They may roar, but they don’t laugh as far as I know. I wasn’t there with them unfortionately! Maybe they did laugh but no one will ever know! Maybe their roars is laughter..So I should take back what I said about dinosaurs laughing! 

 Work seemed long today, but thats probably because it was! I got stuck doing aftercare with the professor child explaining all the differen’t types of dragons. When this kid talks it takes about 30 minutes for him to just get out what he is trying to say about one thing. Its pretty frustrating but I try to hear him out! The only problem is is that for the most part I can’t really understand what he is talking about! This kid is a genius and is definatley smarter than I am, hes smarter than most people I know, hes at the level of a professor, I swear!!!! He lacks most common sense but can tell you about all the scientific elements, ancient civilazations, religions, you name it, he knows it. He also fully believes in fairies and dragons, and all that comes along with it. He swore the other day that a fairy dropped off a book in his cubbie as a suprise. It was a book on ancient greek something or another. He is eight, and acts about 58. Today he came to camp wearing socks with sandles! He sits cross legged, like a lady. He places his pointer finger and thumb on hos chin when he is thinking. I get a kick out of this kid. I also fear for his future. I’m not sure he will know what to do with all his geniusness as he gets older!

After work as I was walking in the parking lot to my car I found a dead dragonfly! I thought he was pretty cool so I picked him up to get a closer look! He was almost broken in half, and that disapointed me. But the I got the great idea to come home and repair the dead dragonfly. I figured if I could just glue his ass back on he would be looking good! He has huge awesome eyes and his head even turns, like a bobble head or something. Its pretty damn neat! He had big green stripes on him..I call it a him, but it could be a girl, I don’t know the last thing about dragonflies! Maybe I will ask Alan tomorrow and see what he has to say after he places his pointer finger and thumb upon his chin! Anyway, I placed the dragonfly in a cup I found in my trunk and took him home to be put back together. His wing was a little broken too but figured there wasn’t much I could do about it! If I tried I may have broken it more and then where would I be? I’d be left with a irrepairable dragonfly and whats the point of that. So yes, I took about twenty minutes out of my day to glue a dragonflies butt back on. I wanted to find a way to preserve him, so after using Gorilla Glue on his butt I used some Elmers Spray Glue and sprayed him down with some of that. I ended up with a frosty looking dragonfly and extremely gluey hands. It took dish soap, special soap and Goo Gone to take the sticky away! The spray glue didn’t satisfy me though so then I took some of that acrylic overcoat spray stuff and sprayed him down once again. Im not sure if that really helped any but he is now placed inbetween magnets upon my refridgerator. It looks rather odd but im hoping he will be all dry and preserved tomorrow morning because the whole reason I tried to repair him was because I wanted to show the kids at camp! I know they get a kick out of observing bugs! We just let go a Praying Mantis today that was named Green Jeans. They didn’t want Green Jeans to go but it was for the best! haha. Im contemplating telling the kids that the dragonfly is the offspring of a dragon and a fairy. I might tell them that a daddy dragon fell in love with a mommy fairy and so they kissed and then had a magic baby….and the baby came out to be a dragonfly! No that would be cruel, and I don’t want to confuse them. Im sure they would know that it wasn’t true anyway! Then again when I was their age I believed fire flies turned into french fries, so they just may believe me! 

I have a few pictures of camp but Im going to be lazy and not load them to the computer right now! Thats just to much of a hassel, its 12:30 am…that means its too late!…Im going with that excuse. I should be sleeping right now! 

I felt much better today over all! A slight head ache but nothing I can’t handle! 

Oh, I forgot to mention..I fell out of my chair today! Appearently I thought sitting on the edge of a cheap wheely chair was an okay thing to do. No, it wasn’t, I made the whle damn chair flip. I laughed at myself for a good while for that slick move. All I could think about was the way my face must have looked. Im thinking a slightly alarmed and shocked face mixed with the face of thinking, "well there isn’t anything I can do about the fall now, might as well just go with it" Again, I felt like an ass since Ada watched the whole thing go down! 

I did weird things today!
