School Days, School Days…
My work on the PTA is now up and running in full gear. I signed up to promote the school’s Fall Festival and it’s this weekend.
When I first signed up I thought I was getting off easy, I mean.. I do PR for a living. Then we had our first meeting – where I learned I was wrong. My role would actually involve working with the student council to have posters made. I would then take the posters to local businesses and ask them to to hang up the signs. It was a lot more work that I had expected, but it was also a lot more fun that I’d expected too!! (I still did PR – scored two stories, that’s right.)
In addition to my work with the PTA I am also a room mother. This Wednesday is my son’s Halloween party and while I can’t attend (I am really busy at work and it is at a bad time…10:30 a.m.) I am helping by making all of the goodie bags for the kids. Tonight I picked up some cute Halloween notepads and pencils and found some multi-color spider rings. To top it all off I included some candy.
So as you can see I am morphing into the mother of a school age child quite nicely. It’s actually been a lot of fun and it feels good. I am always doing volunteer work for varouis groups but this time the person benefiting is my son – and that means the world to me.

It is fun, isn’t it. We better volunteer now while they think it is still cool : )

Sounds like you’re fitting in really well!
I don’t work and it’s hard for me — with a 2 YO in tow most days!
I’m room mom too (again this year) and it’s hard! But I have good help this year. Still, trying to get any help from the other parents is THE WORST!!!!
Sometimes I don’t know how you do it. It’s like your THAT GIRL, but with kids.
