1. The little army of neighborhood girls who have been my dog sitters, plant sitters and package picker uppers for many years. There are two sets of sisters that have been doing this and although when they were young they very much wanted the extra money, they now are older and have real jobs (two have moved out of their parents homes and the last two probably aren’t far behind) and it is truly a favor to me that they are still willing to do it. Heck, the one from this weekend I paid but also left a bottle of champagne for her 21st birthday. This girl has a much younger sister that I have my eye on, but I think she is still a bit too young.
2. My sisters—often helped me out with my kids when they were little.
3. Volleyball moms—my daughter plays on a team that travels a lot and we have a team mom, but so many of the non designated moms ( and dads) go above and beyond with figuring out which hotels, scheduling team dinners, catering food if it’s a late night, having snacks for between matches, making sure they have water, pain meds, ice etc…we’ve been on a ton of teams over the years with this kid and 2 others and there have been great parents, but this team is a whole other level.
upcoming to your daughter, Caseheidi!
