I’m all for volunteering. When I worked full time I dreamed of being able to work non-gratis for a cause I believed in. After H was born I became a volunteer mad-woman. I cooked for sick people at church, licked envelopes, cleaned up after tornadoes, helped build homes for habitat, served on the board of a couple of charities near and dear to my heart, and set up camp at H’s school. So when she becomes involved in something at school I am 100% supportive.

She’s on the social committee for the 7th/8th grade party.

Today she came home today and told me she volunteered to bring 15 cases of soda.

I’m so proud.
