[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 264283, member: 1722"] Volunteering literally kept me sane through Duckie's youngest years... it gave me a sense of stepping outside myself and being part of something bigger. I've volunteered at my: local library (shelving and assisting with children's activities) church (Sunday school teacher, kitchen committee, altar guild, rummage sale and special projects) school (in the classroom assisting students or other tasks, making copies, cut-outs or putting up student projects, filing books in the library and creating special displays, and making myself available as an experienced parent in the multiage program, field trip chaperon), team mom for cheer leading (helping coach keep order, pass communications on the parents, help with uniform problems, give out hugs and band-aids as necessary) assistant Brownie troop leader (assist the leader, chief nut sale mom, assistant cookie mom, pass on info to parents and occasionally plan/run a meeting) I've actually began to back-off some because I was often putting in more than 40+ hours a week and I need to make sure I have time to take care of me.
