Off Again

For the last couple of weeks one thing has been dominating my thoughts. I was one of the chairs of our school's annual Grandparents', Family & Friends luncheon.

I wouldn't say that it was a hard volunteer job, but it was something that meant a lot to me.

Now it's all over and I can only hope that everyone was happy with the results. I have to admit that I am feeling very relieved to have my major volunteer commitment fulfilled for the year. I always have fun and make new friends when I do these things, but it has been a hard year for me.

Today, the kids and I are flying to New York City for Thanksgiving break. I hope that it will be a fun and relaxing time, but with a five-year-old in tow you just never know. Our plans are open and we'll take each day one day at a time.

I have to run because, of course I waited until the last moments to pack for my trip. I feel like throwing together all of the clothes and things we need together at the last moment just adds to the excitement.
