For my children...

As many of you know my children started a new school this year. Of course I plan on continuing to be that mother all of the teachers can count on so I jumped right in when asked to chair certain events! After this weekend...I am asking myself what did I get myself into?!?!?! We had the school's annual fair which next year I will be organizing the entire food court...this year I only had to assist. Talk about WORK! From making sure all of the volunteers were signed in, cleaning tables, making sure the volunteers had their supplies, jumping in when needed to sell churros (lol...thanks Yami!) cleaning up afterwards and making sure the rental companies had their items back. It was definitely more work than I anticipated! Let's just say by the time I got home my feet were crying for a massage! After about 10 hours sleep, I am all better now! LOL! This morning my first thought was I am not doing this next year especially because I am also chairing the staff appreciation luncheon tomorrow! BUT....everyone who knows me knows I love a "challenge"! So, I sat down and brainstormed about what I would like to change, how many people I would need to help make this work and what could be done to make everyone's lives easier! Now I am looking forward to taking this on. I try to show my girls that you can do anything you set your mind to doing. When things get rough, I only tend to work harder! Although this weekend's event isn't the type of work I am use to doing or prefer doing...I have to remember without parent volunteers these events our kids love participating in wouldn't be possible!
