the effers

i am the mother effer. what i mean by this is my colleagues who teach in the "f wing" (as opposed to where my desk is in the "c pod" or other colleagues in the "b pod") call themselves the effers. and every week they gather for a effer's luncheon on thursday. since i team with a few of them and am friends to all of them, they include me in their lunch. it is quite the gathering. turns out they used to have pizza every week and then started grilling weekly.....and then when i joined them (and another female colleague sarah), they started to eat foods that required SILVERWARE! :) i have brought them lasagna, venison stew, macaroni and cheese, and this past week i made my cheesy potatoes with ham! delish if i do say so myself. i love this weekly lunch and camaraderie. they are fun guys to be around and it is a great way to reduce stress. on a side note, these are also the great group of guys that invited and took my three boys to mountain man junior :)

i love being the mother effer :) hee hee!
