Snack Lady...

So today I stepped into the world of School Volunteer...I have always wanted to get involved with the girls' school, but I always thought of a million reasons why I couldn't commit...Fast forward to the post-cancer world, and I realized my girls are only going to want me at school for a little longer...There will quickly come the day that my appearance on the school campus will cause a panic attack and the silent treatment...

So I signed up to be a Snack Sale Volunteer.  Once a month the parent's organization sells snacks at recess to raise money for the school...easy enough, right??

I could KICK myself for not doing this sooner!!  Those toothless smiling faces were the cutest, most precious things in the world!  I can't count how many times I heard, "It's Morgan and Avery's mom!!" followed by a sweet smile or an even sweeter sweaty hug!!

Don't take this as a signal that I'm making a career change though...it was great for three hours...but I know that those 20+ cute faces, wouldn't look as cute to me after 7 hours in the classroom...It takes a very special person to be a teacher and my hat is off to them!  Today was a great reminder to....


Hope you have a great weekend!

So true! I try to volunteer at my son's school whenever I can. These days are precious.

I'm allowed no where near Madilyn's school now. This started when she was in 5th grade last year. Volunteer as much as you can b/c they will soon not want you there.

Kudos to you!!! I recently decided the same thing and my first snack sale is Sept 30th. I am glad to hear it went so well!!! Love the quote at the end :)
