I'm very annoyed with myself. I usually check my calendar in the morning or at lunch time, but did I do that today? No, of course not. I was supposed to be at the Preschool's Annual General Meeting at 6:30 p.m., but today I didn't check the calendar until 6:45 p.m. So at that point, I thought: I don't have a babysitter and the girls really need to have a bath and go to bed early, so I just can't go.
I proceeded to wash a few dishes, then got the girls into their bath at 7:00 p.m., and then started thinking, I really should go to that meeting. What a stupid thought! So I rushed the kids through their bath, got them dressed in pajamas, called Shauna (at Laurel's) to see if I could leave Sophia there for half an hour, got everyone in the van, and zipped over to the meeting (after dropping off Sophia).
By that time, I was over an hour late for the meeting, and by the time I got to the volunteer sign up sheet, there was only one job left: Volunteer Coordinator. I'm sure there's a reason no one else wanted this job; I'm thinking this has to be thee worst job in the history of volunteer jobs. For the next eight months, I have to get other parents to volunteer to do stuff (all kinds of things from supplying snacks to working at fundraisers). Arrrrrgggghhhhhh!
Okay, it's not going to be that bad. It's not going to be that bad. It's NOT going to be THAT BAD. Right?
I said, "I hope everyone has email because I don't phone people. I don't even phone my own family. But I can email people at 6:00 a.m. or 11:00 o'clock at night." Apparently, all but two people have email. I think one of my main tasks will be to see if I can get these people set up with email. Honestly, what year is this?! Okay, I won't really do that; I will phone them if I have to.
I could have bought my way out of this for $100. Seriously, I could have; that's one of the policies: volunteer for one of the bigger jobs or pay $100. I may have made the wrong decision. We'll see.
