The PTO meeting sounds excrutiatingly boring, so I don't blame you one bit for making the very understandable decision to cut any more of them out of your future. In fact, it sounds like a very good decision. Better to just be honest and handle it rather than dread every meeting and have to make up excuses to miss them.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432497142155757992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21435031.post-90165622790613672182008-09-21T01:43:00.000+02:002008-09-21T01:43:00.000+02:00We never go to those things....I think the others ...We never go to those things....I think the others have given up on us to the extent that we are no longer on either the 'winter or summer group'(which means you are responsible for cleaning up, buying gifts etc...).

Even though I had an assistant, which made it just 6 or 7 kids for each of us, there were two little massivly overactive boys that were like 5 children in one body each, which went well beyond my maternal comfort zone... <BR/><BR/>Long story short, we went to Carl's Jr. for lunch following church and I asked Chad if perhaps they had any vodka they could add to my shake, and have since taken my name off of that volunteer list!tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759572670468991739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21435031.post-91622876482442158972008-09-18T01:42:00.000+02:002008-09-18T01:42:00.000+02:00I agree 100% and wholeheartedly with my big Sis. ...I agree 100% and wholeheartedly with my big Sis. Committees are overrated and tend to bring any progress to a grinding halt. Just give the damn job to somebody who wants and let him/her run with it. (If ya need me, call me; if ya don't, just get the job done!)<BR/><BR/>But I have to say your description is hilarious. I wish I'd been there sitting next to you so we could snicker and say snide nasty little things in English. Congrats on getting out before you got bogged down!Queen LaTeachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953508792230836980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21435031.post-78790143880266476052008-09-17T18:31:00.000+02:002008-09-17T18:31:00.000+02:00Let me see if I can help....This may very well be ...Let me see if I can help....This may very well be a gene thing, I seem to have the same affliction (ya I had to stop and look up the spelling for that one) and your comments brought back some not so good memories of quitting. Through the years I have learned to stop and think very carefully before volunteering or committing to almost anything. Which just proves that I am at least teachable, even though it takes a little time. Look ahead there is life after all this crap. And I'll just bet the kids will still think they had the best of all the moms.skinny bitch's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162974264281660098noreply@blogger.com
