The Unofficial Job

In the last 7 school years, if I wasn't home, I was at Hans' school. Actually, in the last 5 months, if I wasn't home, I was actually at work or wherever work took me. So, technically, I wasn't at Hans' school; however, his school took over whatever time I had left after doing my 4 jobs.

I am not a Co-Chair, but felt a sense of responsibility. I am not a Classroom Parent, but felt the need to support a parent who stepped up and took on that role! I need not care about what happens to Hans' school after he is done, but how can I abandon what felt like a second home to me for the last few years?

So, I helped everyone who took on a role or a responsibility. The Fun Fair wrapped up a couple of days ago. So much was the same and so much was just not quite right! But it didn't matter. Families showed up and families had fun.

Last 3 weeks of the school year and only 14 more school days to go! I have just a bit more left to do with my unofficial job.

At the Fun Fair, a parent told the Principal that I did 90% of the work at Hans' school and that they would have to pay me to come back! I believe this parent was grossly exaggerating. What I do believe is that I care 100% about Hans' school and I have never attached a price or a percentage value to the work I have done there!

It will be very sad saying goodbye in a few days' time to this unofficial job. On a positive note, I will have some much needed free time! I just have to figure out what I am going to do with it!
