I realized last night, on my way home from the HS's production of Peter Pan, that I had been to the high school 4 times already in three days this week.   This really isn't an odd occurrence, but sometimes it does surprise me still.

Call it my overactive sense of responsibility, but I as I serve as PTSA president, I feel that I need to be there to cover things when we have things going on.  This year I have a co-president but she had been ill or substitute teaching more often than not.  we have a Viking Store that is open Tuesday through Friday during lunch each week, so I have been covering things there when no one shows up--or is late.  I try to make it as easy as possible for whomever is there to work.   I get to attend a school community council meeting today and then it's my turn to work the store on Friday.

Never a dull moment, I concede. But really, I wouldn't be anywhere else.  It is a blessing to be able to volunteer and work at the school where my kids are each day.  Not only am I close if they need me, but I also am discovering just what is going on there and how the faculty and staff and other students are working together to make it the best possible learning situation they can.  It is good to feel the unity of purpose with those in charge.

In the meantime, I'll just be grateful I am there and have the chance to do the fun stuff, after school too.  The play was very cute--music was delightful and the "flying" was pretty cool.
