Day 8 - Bad News
This was the horrible rotten day that I walked home from FHES in 3 inch heels because I was furious!

Day 5 Breakfast is Served
I am not really a fan of food. A good meal is wasted on me unless it goes with a great glass of wine. Mike keeps us fed around here.
We have been doing the 17 day diet. It really is a super easy diet to follow. In the morning we either have eggs or a probiotic serving with fruit. This morning Mike was using his new knife skills from a Culinaria class he took this weekend. Everything was chopped up really nicely.

Day 4 PTA Meeting for After School Programs
Day 4:
If parents knew how many volunteer hours went into the After School Program, they would be amazed. I am amazed and I have seen the behind the scenes for two years now. I need to create a Rachel worthy flow chart to really share who does what. First off, most of the PTA Exec team was brought in on this meeting Lisa and I went to talk about the finance side of it, where the money goes and who handles what. The After School Program has one parent to handle the registrations and another parent to handle the $$ generated from the registrations. The same money handler takes the invoices from the Vendor Coordinator who makes sure that we have the coolest and best classes ever (she really does). The Vendor Coordinator is the smoothest operator I have ever volunteered with (next to Bea, who walks on water at FHES in the volunteer circles). Oh, and there is a chief volunteer who makes sure all wheels are on the ground and going - she has insane to do list management skills! Then there were volunteers that were not even at the meeting (I think 4 others). We hire a high school student to make sure all the kids are in the right places and no one mistakenly went home on the bus.
Sometimes, I sit at these meetings and wonder WHY the volunteers do it. But we do and we rock!
I *heart* PTA Volunteers!

Tonight was the fantasy football draft. As the time ticker went down, the excitement grew to building their teams.

Day 1 Photo 365
Last year the family came up with a challenge - to take a picture everyday. We called it photo365 - you had to pay $5 to get in and the pay out was $100. The only limitation was to take a photo of an immediate family member. The winner was Ryan - he never lost his focus and he took a picture everyday. When he was at Camp Varsity, he took a picture - he never missed a day! I am so proud of his dedication and commitment to the project.
This year, we are doing Blog365. You must blog everyday for an entire year. You can add a photo or just tell about your day - it's your blog and you can do it your way!
Let's see who stays in and let's see who drops out.
