Education Uncensored

Since the beginning of this school year, I’ve been a volunteer freak at my son’s schoo I’ve he volunteered in the classroom, I’ve built websites, some of which are not even being used, I’ve worked snack days, I’ve worked fund raisers, all the while, many others have done way more than me. 

I am not a PTO officer and to be quite frank, they do a majority of the the work.  But, I do think I’ve put in a great deal of time in my own way in the volunteer department.  I have typed, designed, printed, folded, handed out, emailed and compiled information for months now.  I’ve done it most all of it from home and even when I wasn’t feeling well, it wasn’t a big deal, the work could be done from the confines of my sofa, in my pj’s and I could take breaks and work into the wee hours of the morning if need be.

Now how in the heck this post started as an educational post and has ended up as a post for my Don’t Eat That blog, I’ll never know…yes I do, I talk too much. 

So, I’m breaking it up and you’ll have to figure out where the parts of the store come and go.  Now, that is a truly educational experience, right?

So, back to education, I am suppose to be at the school today at noon to set up for the Fall Festival which is tonight.  And, then I am suppose to return to the school at 6 Pm to help out until only the good Lord knows what time.  And, then, leave home at 7 in the morning to drive 90 miles with son and mother in tow, be sedated by 9 pm. 

I just don’t know.  Where do you draw the proverbial line in the sand it the volunteer department?  Because honesty, I just don’t know if I have it in me.  The pain from these tears is enormous.  The medicating for it is even more enormous.  And, no one wants to go to their child’s school and volunteer….drunk…..wait, that might be the best way….no, I guess not, better find a better way…..
