The Week To Come

The "busy" time of the year is descending upon us. I just realized that Chanuka is early this year and I am completely unprepared.

Last week I spent quite a lot of time at our elementary school:

• Monday I volunteered at the Book Fair
• Tuesday was banking day - I was the volunteer teller, making deposits for our students who participate with our community partner bank.
• Wednesday I provided 20 baked potatoes for a teacher appreciation luncheon
• Friday I again worked at the Book Fair

That's a lot of time volunteering with our school PTA, whom by the way, I find most active members to be snooty and unfriendly.

Next week I have a PTA meeting and am volunteering in the Kindergarten classroom's annual Thanksgiving Feast. I was lucky enough to be selected to bring the paper plates so no cooking for me.

The kids attend school Monday and Tuesday only, so I will be figuring out how to entertain them for the rest of the week. Walker is a beginner agoraphobic, who will leave the house only when forced, which I balance with Reese who is always ready to go, go, go.

Don is off for Thanksgiving only. He was scheduled to be off on Friday, but since he missed so much work last week being sick, he will now go in.

I am super thankful that we do not travel on this busy holiday.
