At times volunteering is eerily like having an actual real-live paying job. Without the paycheck or the benefits. Don't believe me? This was yesterday:
9:00 Dropped children's lost homework at school
9:15 Picked up four big trays of invitations from printer
Drove to Chicago
10:00 First of three meetings
11:00 Focus group
12:00 Lunch
1:30 Drove to Chicago Cultural Center for meeting; used Wi-Fi to work on agenda for 5:30 meeting
2:00 Meeting
3:00 finished and printed spreadsheet and agenda
4:30 Headed back to set up my 5:30 meeting
5:30 Ran meeting
7:15 Finally got to drive home
At times like this I wonder why I call myself a "housewife." I didn't see my house all day. I bet it went out with a couple of other houses, had a few beers, watched the game, and flirted with the waitress.
Remind me to tell you the story of How Not To Run A Gala.
ReplyDelete-J.
P.S. It has nothing to do with you and everything with a colossal waste of time and money on our part this weekend.
ReplyDeleteFlirted with a garage.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that, RW. I know my house, and I think it's more of a domestic beer and bag of chips kind of flirter.
ReplyDeleteJoke: Please tell. I could use a laugh.
Poppy, I have a small note for you on my blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll do anything to help my numbers.
Just as 'housewife' is a misnomer, so is 'stay at home mother.' I'd love to just stay at home one day!
