Hopefully I didn't bite off more than I can chew

So I deleted deactivated my Facebook account a couple minutes ago and already feel some sense of relief. It will definitely take some getting used to not hearing my phone ding at every new comment or tagged photo but I think I will get used to it.

I have found something else to occupy my time for at least the next month or so...
At the beginning of the school year, Mykayla's elementary school PTA sends out the volunteer form for the year to which I faithfully (Ok, only for 3 years now) sign up for the same three events: Holiday Craft Night, the Scholastic Book Fair and Teacher Appreciation week. As I am filling in my volunteer choices for this year, I notice that the Holiday Craft Night needs a co-chair. So I email the gal in charge "just asking" some questions. Some of you may already know that this means "I have just volunteered myself for the co-chairing position" : ) She wastes no time emailing me back thanking me for co-chairing and being in charge of the 10 or so crafters for the night. Now while I knew this was probably what would happen, I suddenly realized maybe I bit off more than I can chew. For the past two years, I have simply come up with a craft, created kits for 50-70 kids to make the craft and then showed up the night of and manned a table of elementary age crafters. (My first year, I was 9 months pregnant with Michael. I was induced the next morning. What was I thinking?!?!)  That year I made JOY banners and last year I made 4x4 mini albums. I got a chance to talk to the gal in charge tonight at the PTA meeting and she was able to put my mind at some ease. I am looking forward to taking on this position and hopefully get some fun crafters to work with. Who knows, maybe this will be my contribution for the next several years (Which I would be ok with!) Michael will be in Kindergarten when Mykayla is in 5th grade. Hmmm, that means 8 more years or so...I think I will go year by year for now : )
