A day in the life of a CFS Staff Wife

Today I left the kids home with Jesse and headed out to camp.  Several times a year camp has mailings that go out for various reasons.  Today I was scheduled to help get over 15,000 letters stuffed, labeled, sealed and mailed!  Wow, how’s that for a days work.    It is always a great time to get together with the other staff ladies and I do look forward to that time whenever I go and help.

I thought I would post a few pictures for those of you that wonder what it looks like to do a mailing with that many letters.  So, I will let the pictures do the talking.  What would I do without a camera? 

Here I am working on “Arthur” our sealing machine.  We just named him today.  I guess that is what happens when you send over 15,000 envelopes through.  You have lots of time to stand and look at the machine, and think of good names.  I was actually surprised to learn that for as long as Arthur has been around, today was the first time he has ever been given a name.  So, glad I accomplished this important task!

Here is a picture of just half the room.  The other half of the room had just as many if not more people.  Those that you see here are either stuffing the envelopes, or labeling them.

So, as you can see it is quite the process.  We worked from 9 in the morning until about 2:30 in the afternoon.  And actually we got done earlier than anticipated.  That is always nice when that happens.

When I came home Lauren told me all about her day.  It included a trip to the hardware store with daddy, the coffee shop, and the library.  And then she ended by saying that she went on a nice adventure.  Sounds like they were well taken care of in my absence.  Here are a few pictures of the kiddos, mostly for the grandma’s!

It’s funny what kids mimic.  Guess Jack has seen me on the phone a time or two!
