Ever seen a defensive lineman turn green? . . .

Today I am sitting at "my station" as mentioned in previous blog, helping assist students and parents with their registration paperwork. This week is also the start of daily doubles for all fall sports so we have kids everywhere, three volleyball teams in all the gyms, 3 football teams on the practice fields, 4 girls and boys soccer teams are on the fields, Cross country runners are taking to the streets, plus Cheer and Dance Teams are rah rah ing to get ready for the starting season. During the football practice breaktime this morning some players came into the commons to use the vending machines. A couple of the players came to my table after buying some cookies or something out of the machine. As they approached where I was sitting, they didn't look like they felt very well. One of the guys held out his bag of cookies and said "look at this", I said "it looks like the bag is open a little bit", he say's "come see something" he looked rather upset . . so I follow him back to the vending machine. He points . . I look . . .OH yuck! There are 4 dead mice in the bottom tray where your food lands after you press your selection and it drops down. GROSS!! Apparently our little mice problem we have been having in the building this summer also extends to the inside of the vending machines GROSS!! So we shut them all down and called the company to come empty everything out and get them cleaned up. What a great thing to have to witness this morning. Even our big burly football players have no stomach for little mice nibbling on their snacks...mmmmm good...ha!
