Well, even though it was a very early start to yesterday, it turned out to be a really good day. It helped immensely that Accalia was in a wonderful mood. And the fact that both kids took a two hour nap at the same time added to it. I just sat in the recliner holding Cole in the sling and read and read. I haven't done that in ages! I'm currently reading Four Blind Mice by James Patterson. Cory hooked me on Patterson not long after we started dating. Patterson doesn't require a lot of heavy thinking with his books, so it's nice to have an easy read. Next I have to tackle my pile of magazines.

The especially great news yesterday is that I was offered the position of Associate Coordinator of Leader Accreditation (ACLA) for my area (South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota) of La Leche League It's a volunteer position - as LLL is composed mainly of volunteers - and a three year term. I'll be working with leader applicants and leaders through the leadership application process.

I was really excited and surprised to be offered the position since I've been a leader for just under a year and I haven't actually had a group to lead yet due to our moves and unsureness about staying here in Yankton. But apparently I impressed em anyway! My main focuses right now as a leader have been working with two leader applicants and answering weekly help forms that mothers submit through the LLL website. This will really be a great opportunity to do more for an organization that I believe strongly in.
