Let's not speak about this



What has been consuming all my 'free' time for weeks?

The Fall Festival at school. It is a carnival and the main school fundraiser for the year. There have been three 'co-chairs' and now it's become one...me. I'm not sure what happened but I was given the official honor this morning - even though it's been in my lap the entire time.

I just spent two hours emailing and coordinating for this event happening on October 30th. Two hours that I didn't have and now will be really tired tomorrow when I go work out. I've already spent lots of other hours in meetings and emailings.

Let's not speak of this. I get sad when I realize how much of a time commitment this is and how I really don't have time for this, but alas, I signed up for it so I must do my best.

Maureen,

I am SO sorry you have been consumed by all of that. You are one busy lady...they are lucky that despite that you still volunteer. Hang in there... it will be over soon. In the meantime, we HAVE to get together. I need a break... are you up for lunch?

You have a big heart. I wouldn't even DREAM of signing up for something like that!

PLEASE let me know what I can do for the fall festival. I am so excited for peaches, and I'm totally daydreaming about everything we can can (hee hee) next fall from our fabulous gardens. I never dreamed I would string those words together! See you tomorrow friend!

I totally got up to meet you guys for running and I was so bummed that you didn't come--however, given our phone call last night and your list of things to do I fully understand your very legitimate need for sleep. I'll call you today, hopefully the new day brings less stress....
