I'm volunteering for a non-profit. I'm the roll-up-her-sleeves gal working on a project. As I go along, I have found the process rather opaque at times as to at which steps the board needs to review and approve, when those meetings are, how long that process will take, and when I will be thrown the ball again, et cetera.

This morning I asked my husband to make my daughter's bed. He was resistant at first and I pointed out that it would only take 60 seconds. Later, when I went into her room, the bed was made, but not that well. Her decorative pillows were strewn about, not placed at the top of the bed. The sides of the blankets were not tucked under.
