Once a joiner, always a joiner...

I have always had trouble saying "no" to people who ask me to help out on a school committee or join a group, or a book club, or do a project, or watch their kids, or, or, or... So it shouldn't surprise me that I'm constantly busy here already! I've volunteered or signed up for so many things that I'm having to cancel some due to double bookings. Have I mentioned that I don't even have a job to go to here??? This is all "fun" stuff, though.

Tomorrow, for example, I have a meeting about the Halloween Party at Aidan's school at the same time that the Scrapbooking Club I joined through his school is supposed to meet at the same time that the new class at the gym I joined and told a friend I try with her is. Hmmm...so I think I'll go to the party planning meeting, then to scrapping for a while, and skip the class at the gym but go workout after I drop Delainey off at Gymboree, but before I go back to Aidan's school to bake an apple pie with the kids and read a book to his class. Whew! I think I can fit it all in!

Then I have to remember that next week is book fair set up, planning meeting for the Holiday Market, German lessons, pre-sale of Halloween party tickets, a class parent meeting, Gymboree, pumpkin carving in Aidan's class, the neighborhood Halloween party, Lainey's ballet class, and the Halloween party at Aidan's school.

Why do I always do this to myself?? Probably because I hate being bored!

Thank God my friend Megan volunteered to watch the kids for us next Saturday when the wine boats come in to Zurich! I think I'll be needing a night to relax with some vino!!
