Volunteer

I've started volunteering at Nick's school.

It's only one morning every couple of weeks, but it's exciting because I get to help out, and also to stick my head in every once and awhile and see how he's doing. I do a few mundane tasks, like make copies and cut out whatever shapes the kindergarten classes need for their projects. But I also get to go to the Library with Nick's class. I help the kids check their books in and out, which is fun.

I'm glad I'm doing this. Not only because I feel good doing it, or because I get to interact with a few kids. But I'm going to be involved in this school system for years. After Nick I have Nathan and Andrew. I plan on getting to know this library very well. And the copy room. I can feel comfortable in the halls and in the office. And I can get to know the people that will be seeing my sons every day for the next few years.

This is the best testament to mother love I have heard in a long time -- you are doing your boys good, your community good & the local school system good, not to mention volunteering is good for you too! You get A+++++ & gold stars! I wish more parents could do as you are now.
