CODE YELLOW!

What an exciting day as Lunch Lady at my son's school! First of all - it was Grilled Cheese Day - as requested by me! Yes kids, thank ME for the Grilled Cheese today at school! mmmmm!

But that wasn't even the best part! There was a CODE YELLOW! There are 3 lunch periods and inbetween the 1st and 2nd lunches, there was an armed robbery at a near by shopping center. So while the cops were cruising around trying to find the bad guys, the school was on lock down! All doors and windows locked up tight! ( The students were all back to their classrooms before the Code Yellow went into effect.)

We (the other lunch lady's) were in the cafeteria and our fearless leader - Queen Lunch Lady Mary - and Cool Gym Teacher Lady were on the walkie-talkies with the Principal. A few squad cars cruised in and out of the parking lot looking for the perp (something I picked up after years of watching Law & Order...and of course from my 2 days on Jury Duty last week). Our Principal was the hero of the day with the comment "I am ready to run over anyone that comes into this parking lot."

After about 45 minutes, it went CODE GREEN - which meant all clear - so we could continue the lunch service and were free to move about the cabin. HOWEVER, it was at that precise time that the clouds opened up and it POURED rain! I had to leave to come to work, so I couldn't help the other ladies who serve the kids lunch and haul alllllllll the stuff over to the school!

So I would like to recognize the fabulousness of the Wednesday Lady's right now:
Queen Mary
Liz
Kathy
Erin
Martha
Cool Gym Teacher Lady
Becky - who is usually there, but missed the excitement today
Other Kathy
and other lady I'm not sure of her name

So unless Madonna comes to the studio today, I think that was the big excitement of my day!
