[Artemisia] Youth activities WAS NMS and Site Fees

[Freydis the Good]

Yep, it was MUCH harder when the kids were younger, I can sympathize!
I thought it would get better and actually it did until I caught a
nasty case of HELIUM HAND.  :-)

So I'll say it again, two Kingdom offices, two equestrian practices a
weekend and a newsletter to put out, WHAT was I thinking???

I spend all my time chasing Emily and miss a lot of things because they happen when Fernando is on the field and I can let Emily loose because she is too young. I am hoping to find solutions to this by being involved in planning Youth activities and not being turned into a babysitter for others.( been there, done that, not doing it again) It is what turned me off of doing youth activities before this.
