Whew, I feel like I can catch my breath today. You might not know but I have a job these days and it’s just kept me hopping since September. I’m away from the house so much that all my work here at home piles up so it’s like work, work, work around the clock to keep caught up.
This past week for example, I worked:
Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday morning, Friday night
I guess I took Sunday off.
Too bad I don’t get paid for this position, Volunteer Mom. This is what I did:
Saturday—worked kiddie pool game at Sam’s school Fall Festival
Monday—worked library at Caroline’s school
Tuesday—made a huge amount of vegetable soup to take in for teacher appreciation at Sam’s school plus with some help from Gary and Caroline, sorted/trimmed/counted Box Tops
[Btw, this is what $65+ back to your school looks like at 10 
This is a four foot wide table.]
Wednesday—worked library at Sam’s school
Thursday—worked library at Sam’s school
Friday morning—worked Accelerated Reader at Sam’s school
Friday night—worked a game station at Jack’s school Fall Fling
Oh yeah, add on yesterday: Monday—worked library and Halloween party at Caroline’s school
Whew.
But I love doing it. You know, I remember when the older boys were younger and I couldn’t go in to help at school that much even though I really wanted to because of having the babies at home. Well, now I have my chance and I really enjoy doing all of this. But I think maybe I am going to have my fill by the end of this year keeping up with this schedule. I think I might have taken on this volunteer thing with a little too much enthusiasm.
On the other hand, it won’t be that long before the kids are all in college and I don’t think their schools will be calling me to come in to help then, well, other than to write a check.
Which reminds me that I think I better be considering maybe a paying job.
