I was "in charge" of the Friday night portion of St. Matthew's auction yesterday. Man, was it a lot of work! Mostly this past week, and all day/night yesterday. It reminded me of horse shows...leaving early in the morning, on your feet working all day, barely eating or getting a chance to use the bathroom, getting home late...and that great feeling of tiredness after hard work, and the feeling of accomplishment. Don't get me wrong, there were times yesterday where I just wanted to QUIT!!! but I found out this morning that we raised $14,000 with little to no cost. Not bad for a "community event."
I think people had fun, got some great deals. I know what I would (will?) do differently next year. Marcus was great with the kids and the kids were great without me (is it OK that I have mixed feelings about that?). It will take at least this whole next week to get the house/laundry/schooling back in order but that's OK. I am wondering, though, why did I schedule the kids' dentist appt. at 8am for Monday????
Here's a random picture--from Meghan and Sophie's birthday party 2 weeks ago. I thought it was really cute, the two cousins sitting there together. :o)
