Crud! (as my little one likes to say) Look at all I missed! Seriously, I got online to work on my letter of interest for Region Director and am yet to start writing it (had to stop into the forums, heck it's my start-up page!)
Anyhow, I think I am finally feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm meeting the girls in the morning for "Take a Special Person to School" and I haven't even taken a shower. We got a new/used car and the brakes sound awful, so I spent a couple hours back at the little dealer lot, next week is Thanksgiving and after making alternate plans, my inlaws decided that they WANT to take us up on the invitation to come over made two weeks ago, I am working with five PTA boards and attending all of their meetings, in the absence of officers, I'm handling their membership drives etc. and I am trying to keep my house clean and the family alive too! I want to run away!!! Anyone want to go to Bermuda with me?? Keep those tequila shooters coming!!
I'll try anything once, but what is it? I like Tuaca, but it doesn't take much!
The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life. --Anne Morris
I've always said, if you want something done, ask a busy person!!! The more you have to do, the more you get done, right?
Next round's on me...anyone up for Red Death?
I hate to admit it but I am 26 and the youngest-I got started having kids early-but sometimes I feel like I have more of a clue than the principal, who I extimate to be in her late 40s. I have always been the old soul. One of my teachers told me I had to have been born 20! I am married to an Italian, therefore I clean and cook and nurse my 16 month old all day long. Sometimes I even watch my friends and relatives children and have even taken them to do PTO stuff with me. I also go to college part time and do financials for the new business my husband is starting. If I'm not doing 5 things at once, I feel like I'm not getting something done. I hate when people assume I can do something because I do not have a regular job. One time I was asked to make calls because what else did I do during the day and no one seemed to understand that it's impossible to spend 30 minutes on hold with Sam's club while chasing around 2 toddlers and picking up kids and dropping them off other places. The only time I really have to talk on the phone is after the kids get put to bed or when I'm in the car! Ok, that's enough for now. Bring on the shots!

I'm 31...and I've always been the youngest board member as well. It's funny, my mother is the same age as many of the other moms in my kids' schools--my oldest is in eighth grade--I was 18 when my husband and I got married and had her. I used to have problems with gaining the respect of the other parents--they looked at me like I was just the baby (admittedly, I was!!!!) but it seems that now their attitudes have changed, just as mine has, too! I used to hate being the youngest in the group--now I'm lovin'it!
I did joke about how my boobs were considered FULL and dangerous!
Right now I am the youngest Board member and have been for about six years! And I'm 35! How crazy is that!
Let's see...mean people could be chairs of the labels...let them cut labels!!
