It&#8217;s really only once a month that I have to worry about it.  I order donuts, I go in at 7:00 and pick them up, take them to the school and pass them out to dads and kids.  Well, this morning I found it particularly hard to get up and do my job.  <\/p>\n<p>Last month, I had WAY too many donuts, with tons left over.  So, this month I toned it down a little bit and only ordered 16 dozen, because I don&#8217;t want a zillion extras at my house.  <\/p>\n<p>When I got there this morning, we had a rush of Dads, and I went through 3\/4 of my donuts in the first shift (we have extended day, so 1\/2 of the kids come at 7:30, and the other half come at 8:45), so I went back to the store, bought more napkins and two more dozen donuts.  I had someone else who was going to pass out for the second shift, so I just took them to her house and told her I hope she doesn&#8217;t run out.  I just saw her as I was dropping Jenna off at preschool, and I&#8217;m pleased to report that she had 2 left over.  *Whew!*<\/p>\n<p>But my enthusiasm for Dads and Donuts is waning.  I&#8217;m really glad that I won&#8217;t have another one until January&#8212;maybe by then I&#8217;ll be recovering from the holiday whirlwind that will be my life, and I&#8217;ll be enthusiastic about it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, I&#8217;ve been on the PTA board pretty much since Cole started Kindergarten, and I really haven&#8217;t minded..up until now.
