Volunteers

I want to be a good parent and do right by my kids and like every other mom out there I want to be super mom. But come on! When did every organization in the world decide they need not only a ridiculous amount of money AND hours of volunteer time from the parents. For example I signed my son up for Little League this weekend which he is very excited about. They practice twice a week and play a game once - so I am already committing to sitting out there 3 x week and paid a very large sum for this to happen. But they still would like to know if I could please play catcher or be team mom - um no?!?

This brownie leader, PTA mom, fall festival planner, youth counselor, chauffering mom is over it!

And yet this teeny part of me says - those are mostly Tori's things, I should go help with something of Tristan's. Please someone teach me the word "no"!
