Yup.\u00a0 We’re officially less than 2 weeks out from contest now.\u00a0 Things are coming together slowly but surely.\u00a0 I had my first volunteer days held here at my house yesterday to get the results mailing ready to go after contest.\u00a0 I have one more next Sunday where we clean out all the old folders from last year and get all the little details prepped for contest weekend.\u00a0 I’m amazed that it used to take us FOUR volunteer days to do what I can now get done in just TWO.\u00a0 And it feels so amazing to have all the details put in place and organized again.\u00a0 The longer I do this the better I am at putting things away in a way that makes them super simple to set up for the next year.\u00a0 I also make lists of what I’ll need to order and do differently next year as I wrap up this year.\u00a0 All those little details makes my life WAY less stressful around contest season than it has been in years past.<\/p>\n
Oh!\u00a0 And I’m super excited because daylight saving does NOT fall on contest weekend this year!\u00a0 Yippie!\u00a0 That makes my life sooooooo much better.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
The only real worry I have for this year is simply my exhaustion and fatigue now that I’m getting more pregnant. \u00a0 I was on my feet for 5 hours yesterday stuffing envelopes and my lower back really hurts this morning.\u00a0 So, I’ll just have to be careful with making sure I sit once in a while on contest weekend.\u00a0 And I’ll need to remember to wear comfortable shoes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
