My daughter started Kindergarten this year and I enthusiasticlly voultneered the classroom.

If you think you have it tough with your clients every day, try volunteering in your child's school!

I help out at my daughter's school once a week and I have to tell you, I am more exhausted after 2 hours in her classroom than I am after 9 hours in my office!

I have realized several things since volunteering in my daughter's school;

1. My daughter is a Genius!

2. My daughter is the most patient kind and considerate child I know.

3. 5 year old boys have no focus.

4. Kindergarten Teachers are Saints.

5. I can never be a teacher.

6. I have learned all the kids names and most of their parents names as well.

7. Be ready to take a nap after you get home!

If you haven't volunteered at your child school, I encourage you to do so. You will not only learn more about your child, you will learn more about yourself!
