I'm a little overwhelemed with life. I have a lot to do and enough time to do the important things - like, keep my job performance up and eat healthy, or at least pretend to.
I have been putting off yard work and so I said to self "Self, get 'er done, tonight, no excuses." And so I began the process. hauled out the lawn mower, weed wacker, edger, extension cord, two buckets, the dandlion weeder thingy, the shovel, and a spade. It was like a garage in the front yard, I swear. I have so much grass...ok, not like acres and acres or anything but enough that in just the front yard and little tiny strip along the driveway, I had to empty the bag like 5 times.
You won't believe that while I was working, a kid (36 year old drunk, recovering from drugs, smoker dude) from church saw me sitting weeding, pulled over and helped me for two hours. We got soooo much done. He really is a sweetheart and honest. He said Sharon, I can either be here helping you or go home and get systematically drunk. I said, hey, stay as long as you like.
For work, we've been challenged to meet and greet at least 20 community folks and I am getting ready for my golf tournament. I've been meeting lots of very cool people and am speaking at several service clubs in the next little bit. We are looking for a chairman and some other folks. We are also planning on doing a commissioner search by taking a look at folks who have volunteered over the last 5 years and who have dropped off - they are candidates.
Alright, I want to post a cool flyer but I dont' know how. I have Till. Roundtable tomorrow and then EV Camporee this weekend. I'm teaching RS on Sunday, have our annual pack planning on Sunday at 1 and a Singles rep committee meeting at 5 PM. I am overwhelmed. one step at a time or one bite at a time or whatever. One check mark at a time. And I KNEW this job wasn't family friendly when I took it.
Ok, gotta go. Report later.

I am always impressed with your good attitude! And for the record, I would have helped with your yard too, even though I am allergic to grass.
