This morning I am nervous. I have taken on the duty of organizing this year’s walk-a-thon for my baby bassets school and today is the big assembly announcing the theme and getting the kids fired up to start fundraising. I am not even giving the speech. My job is to stand off to the side and show my support. I knew better than to let myself be the one to talk. I would surly make a fool of myself up there somehow, and my poor kids would have to watch the tragedy unfold. Do you remember how Elaine danced on Seinfeld? Ya..well, that’s me giving speeches, but not quite that coordinated. All I have to do is stand there…just stand there… nothing else. I am really doubtful I will be able to do this. Not doing something weird or crazy is very hard for me. VERY HARD!
