10 Week Max

It appears that 10 weeks is my maximum for not working. When I had Dude, I went back to work part time after only 10 weeks of my 12 week maternity leave was over. It’s not that I had to WORK, but I did NEED to get out of the house and interact with adults. With Hubby gone so much flying, adult interaction, without talk about babies, was necessary. The same thing when Princess was born.

Apparently, after losing my job in December, 10 weeks of free time was all I could handle. I did love being unemployed - gave me a chance to catch up on some things, get back in the groove of the gym, and spend more time with the kiddos. Then this opportunity for the part time job came and I couldn’t pass it up. 2 days a week, 20 hours max, seemed like a good fit. And so far, it has been! I love my job, the company, and the people I work with.

Yesterday, I guess I decided that just wasn’t enough. I went to the Board meeting for the local Little League and volunteered to fill the Information Officer position on the board. It must have been a stupid attack! Apparently, I’ll be in charge of the web site, the entire player/parent database, all mailings to everyone . . . oh, and REGISTRATION!

Seriously, I don’t know what I was thinking! I thought it sounded like a good idea at the time - fit right in with my freaky need to be organized (and really, what group of baseball men couldn’t use a woman to organize their stuff!) and my little bit of web knowledge. But now that I think about it, there goes all my free time!

10 weeks. At least I had 10 weeks to try to join the Pro Snowboarding Tour I didn’t quite make the tour, but I did have a lot of fun up there with the fam.

So, did you have any stupid attacks this week that you might be second-guessing?
