To help ensure that her chance of getting into a good college, Mama has been scheduling Cupcakes to volunteer since she was zero — even if she just slept in the stroller the whole time.
Mama signed us up for two days of volunteering. She wasn't so sure when she found out that we would have to be there by 5:30am on the day of the event. We got there. It was so dark that Mama almost parked on the soccer field. It was a good thing that Daddy could see because there was a soccer game when it was time to go home. Mama signed up to work at the water station. Little did she know all the work that involved. The team got ice to put in the buckets, put the water bottles in there and put the bottles out on the table when the athletes started crossing the finish line. (When it was time to get busy, Cupcakes sat herself in the stroller and took a nap — good girl!) It was a lot of manual work through noon. Mama felt good. She was confident that Daddy had easy jobs and was having a great time chatting with people. Mama was right! She was really tired by noon but felt good for all her work.
When we got home, ahgong and ahma had lunch ready for us. We visited for a little bit before it was nap time for the family. Ahgong and ahma helped weed and trim plants in the garden. Thank you very much!!
