teamwork!




the masochist in me likes to sign up to do stuff...a lot...sometimes when i am pretty sure i might not even have the time.




i signed up to assemble a bunch of take home books for my son's school. considering that each book takes me about 45 minutes to complete, the vice principal of the school sensibly gave me 5 books to complete. "i can totally do more," says i.




says she (with skepticism) "really?"




"yeah, oh for sure, i love this kind of thing...give me more!" (why people? why do i do this?)




so after doing 7 out of the 13 books i brought home, i was pretty over the whole thing.




BUT...i'm always thinking...so i brought the whole operation with me to our weekly family dinner at my in-laws house and with the help of my truly wonderful family, we banged those remaining 7 books out in a flash...thank you guys! (i'll let you know the next project i volunteer you for, ok?)
