Lordy, Elizabeth, we are sacrificial sisters, all the way!

I’m really dreading this project. It’s like this huge weight on my shoulders, dragging me down. Bleah!

Oh, dear. My dear, dear Bonnie. We have ENTIRELY too much in common!

Let me guess: Cub Scout den mom? The-Teenager-Formerly-Known-As-Pumpkin talked me into that one. Newsletter editor for the booster club? I thought it would be good experience. Until I found myself up at 3 a.m. because the copy came 2 weeks late. Free fundraising brochure development for that great kids charity? They actually fired me in a huff because I let my paying clients interfere with their deadlines. Silly me, i was actually hurt at the time. Until I realized the incredible gift they had given me: I would never volunteer writing or design again.

I volunteer during services at my church. I’m there every Sunday anyway, so why not be helpful. I bring pizzas to my son’s theater group on final dress rehearsal nights. Only chance I’ll see him all week.

Anything else? Show me the money.

You got her! LOL. I know the feeling. I get suckered into those types of things WAY too much.

JUST SAY NO…not only to drugs but to volunteer work as well! HAHAHAHA

Once. Child #1, aged 2. Organized bake sale and other fund-raising event.

NEVER AGAIN. Children #s 2 and 3 have a sadder, wiser mommy.

I’ll tell them to think of it as more time with me, and I will (gulp) drive on field trips.
