I was barely functioning by Sunday. You have no idea.
Bornieo saw me.... Saturday i think, while I had my youngling. he was trying to talk, the young one wanted to leave.... it was slow at the booth, but the hectic just kept coming.

Between patience with attendees, other volunteers, machinary, family, and constant inturruptions it was like having your button pushed all day long.

Twenty seconds is about all I had to myself.

I was at the Nintendo booth almost all of the time.

Yes, Ponine, you did look quite busy. I hope you are having a break today?

How old is your son? My youngest is 12. I couldn't even figure out what to get for my son from the booths, it was so crowded.

That train ride sounds miserable!!!

Ponine, thank you so much for everything. The kids enjoyed volunteering so much. Excited every night when they came home with stories. I wish they'd have dressed up for the Masquerade. They were Frankenstein and his Bride for Halloween and had very good costumes. But, we had a family event and that wiped us out.

Mine is a month away from eight.
He got oodles of stuff from the Pokemon booth, and he got a shirt from Cartoon Network. We'll go through his loot tonight.
He was with my father most of saturday, so really, i dont know what he got yet.

MW, you are so very welcome. Your kids were a blessing. Thanks to them I had enough staff to make sure that my staff saw the floor, and didnt burn out.
People commented on your daughters tattoos, and came back looking for the nice person that helped them get their badges. They were incaluable.
I really never even got the chance to train them, I threw them both to the wolves!

Break... whats a break? I went to work, gotta payroll to do!

How cool for your boy. That is what mine needed, someone to walk him all over. Well, I walked him to where he wanted to go . He did thank me for standing around for hours.

I am glad the kids were helpful. Yep, I asked Billy West if he remembered the girl with the Frankie tattoos and he said she was cool. She liked that.

Yeah, what was I thinking? Break?
