Well....It has been a little over 3 months since I left the comfort of my home at Twin Oaks and accepted the position at Lee County High School. Remember when I said I was ready for a challenge????? I have certainly had several challenges!!
The challenge of an older school once again. The challenge of double the employees and double the personalities. The challenge of a new faculty to try to get to know. The challenge of LOTS of more students to feed and order groceries for. The challenge of once again being involved with a school doing construction. The challenge of trying to survive the South Ga. heat in a NON air conditioned kitchen. Yes. There have been lots of challenges!
I have to admit that there have been times when I have had regrets. More ladies calling in sick (which rarely happened at TOES). The level of noise (lots of very loud voices...ok..yelling) ...I miss the quietness of my former kitchen. The problem of replacing a manager who almost lived there and always was there to do whatever the school staff wanted regardless of policy. The extreme heat in the kitchen when I had gotten used to a much cooloer kitchen.
However...since I said I was ready for new challenges I have received just that! I AM excited about lots of things as well. I am excited at how well new food items have been accepted. I am looking forward to the construction to be complete so I can go "full blast" with all my ideas for things to serve to the students. I have so many neat ideas that I would never would have been able to implement with elementary kids! I plan on having a soup and salad bar at least 3 days a week. I want to try a breakfast for lunch day at least once a month...a meatless Monday for one of the serving lines....an "International" day once or twice a month.
The ladies at this school have been very welcoming to me and very accepting of the changes I have made which is half the battle! The school staff has enjoyed some of the new foods and help me get the word out about changes.I know things will only get better and easier once I am there longer.

Long time away...so many potential changes!!
I have been away from this blog for a LONG time!! I need to do a better job!!
January-May was a pretty busy time for me. The manager at the High School went out for neck and back surgery in January and I was asked to do double duty at TOES and the High School.
I was really terrified at the prospect. I had been at the Elem. level for a while and was very comfortable with the way things were going. But...I am usually up for a challenge and I knew someone was needed so I agreed. I had an excellent staff at TOES and knew they could handle me being away more and the High School did not even have an assistant manager so it had its own challenges!
For the first several months Regina and I did the grocery orders together and when I did not have time she posted any invoices that needed to be taken care of. Also a huge help was that she took care of anyone calling in sick and getting their replacements...whew!!
I added some new items to the menu and experimened with a few other things and from everything I heard, the students and teachers were very happy!! There were times I felt like I met myself coming and going some days!! I would drop Jennifer off at TOES in the morning and check my emails. Then I would go over to the High School to open up, work on paperwork, check in trucks if they were there and try to make sure everyone was happy. I would stay there until around 9 or 10 and then head over to my school to work lunch and get started on my paperwork. Later, after lunch I would finish the daily paperwork and then head over to the High School before that crew left and I would then do the daily paperwork for that school!!! In May an assistant manager was put into place so then in the afternoon I would head over to the HS to teach Lisa how to do the paperwork and then at the end of her day I would go back to my school to finish my paperwork and orders and wait for Jennifer to walk over from the Middle School!!! WHEW!!!
All in all it was a pretty good experience...in spite of having 2 inventories...2 grocery orders...2 sets of payroll items!! There were days when I got passwords mixed up between the 2 schools and times where I would need to order something for one school and ended up ordering it for the other school!!! I am surprised I did not mess up more than this!!
Well...we found out that the manager will not be able to come back to work....so...where does this leave me??? I thought long and hard and had many sleepless nights thinking about this. Do I want to transfer to the HS?? Do I want to stay at TOES? I had kids that love me and love getting and giving hugs, huge office, brand new equipment, awesome staff...why in the world would I give that up??
I decided I would apply for the position! The main reason is for the challenges. They have old equipment, tiny office, much bigger kids that will not appreciate the hugs that the TOES kids loved from me!! I still have to go through the interview phase of this but I don't think anyone else will want to leave their school. Who knows? Time will tell. I do find myself thinking about what changes I could make but at the same time I have left this in God's hands. If it is meant to happen it will.

Christmas Vacation....Part TWO!!
O.K. So Mom is doing pretty well so I start looking for a part time job to help with our situation. Not looking forward to working a second job but, "ya do what ya gotta do".
I went to our new Publix that recently opened in our town to see if they were hiring. I worked for them for 6 years back in the 90's so I figured that was a good place to start. They do an online job application so I went over to the application kiosk and started filling in the info. I was wearing a jacket and was starting to sweat so I pulled my jacket off. Then I started getting dizzy and lights were flashing in my eyes. I was going to ask for a chair.......
The next I remember I heard a voice asking if I was ok. I thought I was having a dream when a Publix employee was huddled over me asking me again if I was ok. I finally realized that I was lying on the floor of Publix and I had actually blacked out! That has never happened to me before but I have come very close at work before a few times.
The Managers wanted to call an ambulance for me but I assured them I was ok and only needed some water and a chair. I could tell I was going to have a huge Fred Flintstone lump on my head and it was already pretty big.
So I drive home after I finished my application and walked in the house to tell Don and Jennifer what had happened. The next day I can barely walk on my right foot and I was thinking I had broken it or something. I am able to get an appointment that afternoon and after Xrays they say I have a sprain and give me a "boot" to wear. I hobble around the rest of the day and go to bed...all is well.
NOT!! I wake up on New Year's Eve morning and I can see my skin from my cheek from the bottom of my vision. I look in the mirror and my right side of my face is swollen and starting to turn all sorts of colors. I put an ice pack on but it continues to swell more. Ok...I can deal with this. Feels kind of funny though with seeing part of my cheek while looking forward. Throughout the day and on New Years Day I look like a Klingon. Don keeps doing the "live long and prosper" greeting to me. Never a dull moment.
Sunday morning I do not look like a Klingon anymore but now I look like I have gone "3 rounds with Rocky Balboa". My right eye is swollen and puffy blue, purple, green. I do not put my ankle boot on today because something in it has given me an allergic reaction. Right where it was at on my leg is red and very itchy. What luck I am having!
I have to go back to work on Tuesday....I am VERY glad to get back to the safety and security of my home away from home!! This has been the craziest most emotional Christmas break I have ever lived through. I HOPE that most of the bruising is gone when I get back to work. The way the gossip factory is around town no one will ever believe that I was hurt to way I was. I guess I need to get the tape from Publix for proof! I would like to see it myself just to see exactly what happened.
So that is how my 2 weeks off went. I am warning the Deer now.....get out of my way on Tuesday Morning. Sheila is on her way!

Christmas Vacation was not what I am used to!! Part ONE
I always look forward to Christmas Vacation from school/work as a time to rest, relax, get things done I normally don't have time to do in a normal week. This break was none like any other I have ever experienced and I hope to never experience again!
School ended with the kids on early release and having lunch with the school staff. The very next day I received a call from my sister telling me that our Mom was in the hospital with chest pains. The next update was that she was being sent to Tallahassee for further care. I received many more calls from my Sister and my brother-in law the rest of the afternoon getting updates. The Doctors in Tallahassee determined that Mom had had a massive heart attack and they would need to do a heart catheterization immediately. Well...once they got in there they found her artieries 90% blocked and that they could do no repair because of the damage and her artieries being too thin. Next came the dreaded call- Do we authorize a DNR or not. Even though Mom has told us for years that her wishes were to issue DNR it was still a very difficult thing to utter. Thankfully Mom was awake and able to tell the Doctors herself what her wishes were. The Doctor told my sister that Mom would not leave the hospital. Scary thought. I slept as much as I could with the phone next to me that night waiting for a word...any word.
Jennifer and I got up the next morning and made the drive to the hospital. When I got there she was sitting up talking! I was surprised to see this! She was not perfect as she developed congestive heart failure and pneumonia as well while there. She started getting her color back and was able to fuss at the nurses so we knew she felt better!
The power of prayer is amazing! Church friends, facebook friends, and anyone who would listen to our story sent prayers and to our amazement God issued an extended warranty on Mom this Christmas Season!
Mom has since been sent back to Moultrie...not to her apartment but to a rehab center where she is trying to get stronger and hopefully back to her home.
I know that Mom's time is limited here on earth. She is 88 years old but at least we had her for one more Christmas! God is an amazing God!
Part TWO coming!

My Daughter is my Hero!
My 13 year old daughter is my Hero! It's true!! Why in the world would a teenager be my hero? Well....
Jennifer has a friend named Madelyn who has been her very best friend since they met in 1st grade. They are so funny to listen to and are always cracking each other up with their silliness.
This year in 7th grade has been difficult for Madelyn. The teen years are trying enough without some of the pressures that teens have to go through.
A few weeks ago Jennifer and I were going home after her Model United Nations Club meeting and she started telling me some of the struggles that Madelyn has been going through. Sadness, feelings of worthlessness, and questioning her own sexuality have been following Madelyn most of the school year. Jennifer disclosed to me that Madelyn wanted to kill herself and she also told me that she had already had been cutting herself. She felt that no one would miss her, not even her pets,her sister, her parents. Jennifer said she tried to cheer her up but it did not seem to be working.
I talked to Jennifer quite a bit on the way home about how tough it is in these years and some of my own struggles as a teen. I encouraged her strongly to go to the school counselor the next day to let her know about what Madelyn was threatening to do. She said she would go the very next day and I knew she would because I could tell that Jennifer was truly scared for her best friend.
After lunch the next day Jennifer and another close frind went to the school counselor and thank goodness she took it seriously. She immediately called Madelyn to her office and after talking to her she called Madelyn's parents who both came to the school as soon as they could get there.
Jennifer called Madelyn later that afternoon to check up on her and Madelyn thanked her several times for being such a good "sister friend". She was thankful she went to the counselor and told her she would be out of school the next day to see a Dr.
Jennifer was going to be on an U.N. competition trip right after this so she enlisted the help of another friend to stay in contact with Madelyn to make sure she was o.k. while she was gone.
Madelyn is getting the help she was crying out for and I truly feel that Jennifer saved her life!! Jennifer was very brave for taking this so seriously and caring enough to do whatever it took to make sure her very best friend stays on this earth. There might be tough times again but at least Madelyn knows she has a true "once in a lifetime" friend in Jennifer.
So THIS is why MY teenager, Jennifer Leighann, is MY hero!! Don and I are both so very very proud of Jennifer. She was named Student of the Week and Student of the Month and I told her that evidently someone at the school thinks she is a hero as well. Jennifer just shrugged and said," I am just glad that Madelyn is still alive and that I did not have to go to her funeral."
....Spoken like a TRUE hero!!
I LOVE you Jennifer!!!

What an impact!!
Well...the first day back with the kids actually went pretty well. Of course lunch ran LATE but I hope with help from the teachers things will get better.
It was great seeing some of my favorite kids and all the new cute 3rd graders. Looks like it will be a great year! I did not see my little buddy S.R. at breakfast so I was hoping she had not moved. But...all of a sudden there she was. She grabbed Oreo the cow (our kitchen mascot) and then gave me a huge squishy hug! I really missed that little girl. Of course being in the 4th grade she is not little anymore though.
Every year it seems that there is always at least one student that really takes a liking to me. A few years ago it was G.B, last year it was S.R.. I hear her home life is not the best but I like that she feels she can come to me for a hug or to tell me what her day has been like. She even gave me an ivy plant on the last day of school last year...that has never happened! Such a sweet girl.
There was also E.L. another really sweet girl who has a kind of rough time at school. Most of the other kids hated her and would make fun of the house she lived in and I would take up for her and sit down to listen or give advice when she needed it. Last day of school she ran to me and gave me a huge hug and started crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said she was going to miss me! She had moved to another county and would also be in Middle School.
Another little girl that comes to mind came through the lunch line last year and was crying her eyes out. Some of her friends asked me to help her. I hugged her and found out what was wrong and she told me her very best friend was moving. She was so upset. I told her about my very best friend, Cindy. Cindy and I met in 4th grade and became the best of friends on the first day we met. She moved away a year later but even after all these years we still keep in touch. When I told this story to this little girl she looked at me and said "Really Ms. Sheila??" I told her it was true and that we have been friends for 40 years even though we have only seen each other twice in all those years. She dried her tears and tried to smile and gave me a hug.
I get to see most of my Little Buddies (the ones that move on the Middle and then High School) every now and then if I run into them at Walmart or Target, or sometimes at the Middle School when I have to go over there for something with Jennifer or borrow from their kitchen. It is nice to know that anyone can have an impact on the life of a child. Even though I am not a teacher, I have built good relationships with quite a few of the kids and I like that they can trust me to come to me when they are sad or very excited about something. I have patched up friendships, repaired eyeglasses, helped them with homework, given them school supplies, encouraged them, given advice, made them laugh, and even helped them with other problems they are too embarrased to tell anyone else about.
So I guess never underestimate the qualities of someone that works in the lunchroom. Some of us can have a lasting impact on the life of a child.

Must be Back-to- School because it's hair cuttin' time!!
Let me start out by saying I LOVE BACK TO SCHOOL!!! Even though I am no longer a student (a long way from it) I love the excitement of buying new supplies for myself and Jennifer. I scope out the good sales and decide how to hit the stores to get the best deals. I am always looking for cute new office supplies for me to use!!
I try to buy new scrubs so that I can have new school clothes too! This year( since the 3rd graders are "Third Herd") and they love my cows I have on the serving line, I found a really cute scrub top with silly cows on it so that will be my first day outfit. I am READY ;).
I decided this morning that I needed to get a hair cut. I have lost about 30 pounds this summer and was able to fit in a smaller size so I figured I might as well get my hair chopped on. I am a cheapskate when it comes to things like this and usually end up at one of this places where you can get a cut for $10. Well...today I decided to splurge on myself and I went to a nicer (translated to mean expensive) place.
I am SO glad I did. I did not have an appointment so I had to go to a few places before I found a place that could fit me in. WOW...let me tell ya...I have never experienced a head washin' like I did today!!! This guy scrubbed my hair and head, massaged my head, massaged my temples, and even massaged my neck!! I was just about ready to fall asleep it felt so good! Anyway he did a great job cutting my hair and the whole experience was well worth the extra expense. I will try to post a picture later. Jennifer is going to get her hair cut by this same guy tomorrow so maybe I can get a picture of both of us.
I am now officially ready for Back To School!!
