It always amazes me how summer reading consumes my every waking (and sometimes sleeping) moment starting at the end of May. The events have been planned and scheduled since December, but the nitty-gritty back-breaking preparatory work happens now. And it never seems as though there’s enough time to accomplish all that needs to be done.
On the docket for today:
- making the final 300 copies of the summer calendar (bringing the total copies made to 1000) and 200 more copies of the summer letter to parents (for a total of 800 of those)
- folding the calendars
- desperately trying to drum up more volunteers to help at the Ice Cream Social – seven wonderful volunteers is great, but no where near enough
- typing up all of my “begging letters” to take around to local businesses on Thursday…to get items and gift certificates to use for summer raffles
- following up on the food donation requests that I sent out two weeks ago
- a million other little things that I can’t think of at this moment
- and, of course, putting through this month’s book orders
Yikes. I just might be freaking out right now….
