Should've kept my mouth shut!

So, it's "hump day" and I'm at work SO TIRED because the hubby and I stayed up talking last night. I have to say, it is so wonderful to now be able to put my girls to bed and just have time for us. I think our relationship was really starting to feel the weight off all the changes that have been going on, but as anything - you must have your ups and your downs... just so happy that we are up!!! I think we may even have our routine down pat in the morning- he takes care of the toddler, I take care of the baby. Mind you, that means I'm up at 5:30 feeding her, but I don't mind if it means we are a team in the morning :) Yay for routines!
Getting back to the topic of work, we're having an "official" Take Your Kids To Work Day. I say "official" because for as long as I have been here, we have had Take Your Kids to Work Day, but it has never actually been on the National Day. I don't quite know why this is, but it just is. So, this year I was asked if I would like to help plan the day, I happily agreed. The thing is, I've been to these "events" and all it's ever been is crayons and games for the kids and that's that. How hard could it be to find crayons and games for kids???? OF COURSE, this year they decide that it has to be "official". That means, even for the toddlers (apparently it will be more than just toldders this year) we have to find a way to incorporate teaching them about what we do- huh???? Really??? So, I think to myself, of course the year I say I will help it has to be "official" I will also be running around after my active toddler! FANTASTIC! Did I mention we are having a meeting about it??? Send me an e-mail with your thoughts and cc everyone that wants to help. Ugh this is ridiculous. Why is this world so obsessed with meetings for everything???
I think it is important to teach kids about their parent's work or just work in general, but did we have to change the rules the year I agreed to arrange this madness??? UGH! I know it's my own fault for agreeing to do this without asking questions, but do you blame me??? It's NEVER been like that, EVER! I guess rather than blogging, I just be thinking of creative ways that toddlers can learn about what being a non-profit is all about but I'd rather blog! LOL!
