Inept.

I went in to volunteer in Ethan's class today expecting to do math.  But when I walked in, his awesome teacher who I would do almost anything for, asked me to help her by putting up some bulletin boards. I wonder if she saw the color completely run out of my face as I said, "Sure!"   I truly am inept when it comes to this.  Long swathes of butcher paper, measuring lengths whilst standing on a chair in the hall, trying to hold the stapler and scissors at the same time....and then to have to make it look cute!  So not in my skill set.  If you want it to look like you asked a student to do it, then have me do it.  If you want it to look 'pulled together', well, you may want to wait for another mom to come in tomorrow.  It ain't gonna be pretty.
