School Auction Countdown

I have been crazy busy with our school auction. Last May I decided to sign up as Co-Chair for this grand event that will take place next Friday. It started out as a formal affair where parents could dress up and have a nice dinner while raising their paddle for a good cause, our kids! Well, things changed. With the economy and families struggling it was decided we should take it down several notches and we rescaled to a Sweet Valentine Affair which I think will be great. From running around to work, kids schedule and husband recovering from back surgery (he's doing great) my evenings and breaks and days off have been non stop auction. I can't wait until it's over! This has been quite the learning experience for me. Lots of women involved and many helping hands contributing to this event. I have been volunteering since I was in the 3rd grade, it's in my blood and I enjoy it. I get way more out of it then the ones on the receiving end. I learned many things about myself in this particular process which is always a good thing. 9 more days and then I'm looking forward to an empty calendar for a few days. Lol
