A few years back when my children were in School I was involved in School Field trips and events, as a parent, and went on a few field trips as a parent supervisor of young kids. During this time, I also had my own house cleaning business with another parent while my kids were in School, which I worked about 15 hours a week, and my own CD duplicating business where I copied CD's for the School District with a duplicating machine, and labeller program on the computer which I would type out and label each CD.
