HelloChrissy's Journal

To all my friends:

So sorry that I've been Missing in Action this past month.  I just finished overseeing the annual party and fund raiser for my daughter's school.  The event was awesome and we raised a lot of money for the school... but the planning and details sucked the life out of me!  I've been working on the event for the last 3-4 months but this last month was pretty insane.   After numerous long days and late nights, I had to stop and ask myself:  "Is this worth it?"  I wasn't curing cancer or helping the underpriviledged and every moment that I worked on the fund raiser was a moment away from my family, my friends and of course, Daily Strength!   Don't get me wrong, the school needs the money... they are trying to replace the deck that the children gather on each day (it's been there for 16 years) and some of the money is used to send the teachers to an annual teacher's convention each year.   I'm thrilled to donate time and money to those causes but I would feel so much better about myself if I had spent that time and effort on my family... or really helping people in need.   I wish I could do it all... but there is just not enough time in the day.  

Anyhow, just want to let everyone know that I'm back and ready to help!
