Here’s Tuesday’s menu:
Breakfast: I think I had a SoyJoy bar? Jai had a banana.
Lunch: Leftover pork chops, curried rice, and a banana:

Dinner: I had planned to make a nice casserole and a cabbage side dish, but after it hit 80 degrees, turning on the stove was no longer an option – the heat snuck up on me, or I would have planned something that didn’t require cooking! I know many of you live in much hotter areas, but we’re not used to these temperature on the Oregon coast, and no one here has air conditioning. That kind of heat is rough with no AC, and by dinner time I was too hot to even think. So instead, we drove to Home Depot to buy a fan, and paid a visit to the McDonald’s drive-thru on the way to get the largest, coldest drinks they had:

I also got a cold ice cream cone, and we each had a hamburger. Total for the meal? $4.88. Not turning on the stove? Priceless!

The new school year is just around the corner and with budgets stretched thin, parents are going to play an evern greater role in helping bridge the gaps that have grown in this wobbly economy. Parents are spending as much time at their kids’ schools as their kids are – monitoring, supervising, fundraising – to help out where staff cuts leave holes. Fortunately, the web and social media are poised to become the most efficient ways for everyone to pull together to help out at school.
Parent volunteers expect to play a larger role than ever this fall as schools across the country grapple with staff cuts and tight budgets. Whether helping keep peace in the school lunchroom or manning the dunking booth at the school carnival, parents can rely on VolunteerSpot — a free, easy-to-use online tool that takes the hassle and headache out of coordinating volunteers and encourages everyone to get involved.
With just a few simple clicks, VolunteerSpot enables anyone to organize a group, no matter the size, to sign up for any activity — from reading to the first-grade class to staffing the football concessions stand to attending parent-teacher conferences. Organizers can mobilize parent volunteers with an easy e-mail sign-up invitation, and parents can volunteer for tasks with a simple click on an online calendar. No registration required. Automated e-mails remind folks of their commitments and schedule. No more mass “reply all” e-mails, late-night phone calls, dreaded clipboard sign-up sheets or confusion over exactly who will be doing what.
Teachers, parents and administrators across the country are singing VolunteerSpot’s praises and find the site inspires greater involvement to help fill the gaps.
“In these times of limited resources, you can be certain that VolunteerSpot will be used by our staff and parents to help with activity organization for the next school year, including fundraising,” says Linda Mora, principal at Laurelwood Elementary in San Jose, CA. “The word goes out, and the volunteers sign up. It’s that easy. Student success is built by a community of caring parents, teachers and staff — and using VolunteerSpot allows us to get the needed volunteers in just a fraction of the time.”
“You made it so easy for our parents to sign up to help and saved me many hours worth of e-mail exchanges and fussing with spreadsheets to fill the schedule,” notes Amanda S., the Recess and Book Fair Coordinator at Eanes Elementary School in Austin, TX, and a VolunteerSpot devotee. “The teachers, parents and all PTO event chairs love those automated e-mail reminders!”
VolunteerSpot also includes helpful tools for organizers looking for a little creative input or just plain inspiration, including free eBooks and an active blog featuring ideas and user suggestions for successful event planning.
