My Interim Time
(Barry Does Time)
In 1996, I became unemployed after 23 years. I did a variety of things during an interim time. I won't go into all of it, but here is something you might find interesting.
At the beginning of the school year of 1996, I was asked if I would be interested in supervising children (grades 1-8) before school (6:00 to 8:00 AM). This is not the kind of thing a man would do.
After a little hesitation, I agreed. After all, I would be finished at 8:00 and that would hardly interfere with anything else I wanted to do during the day. Little did I know that I would be doing this the entire school year, and I even worked the after-school program part of the year. What an experience! I never thought much about the word "hellions" until this time. It was a memorable time though, and realizing this, I kept a daily journal so I could look back one day an think; "I actually did this?"
I actually stole the picture at the top from someone who makes "Time Out Kids". My appologies to Nana for my abuse of the picture, but if you want to look at or buy one of her creations, CLICK HERE
