Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Random Thoughts of the Day

PMS is not a "Syndrome" ...it's just something I use to rationalize my crazy.

If its called the PTA (Parent and Teacher Association)...where are all the Teachers?

If school starts at 9am then why do I drop my kids off at
8am on Monday for Choir
755 on Tuesday for Cheerleading
8am on Wednesday for Gymnastics
8am on Thursday for Chess

Funny. Oh, I made it to PTA a few times. I.couldn't.take.it.

I've seen more nastiness in PTA meetings between crazy parents that must control everything than my 15 years in the corporate world.

Just sayin'!

The PTA at our school accomplishes a lot of great things for the kids, but they truly are a clique. I don't like gossip or nastiness. I'll continue to be supportive from home. Luv the PMS quote!

I love that your kids can do extracurriculars before school, but what time do they get our of school? Must be late!

Margo said...

things have gotten so much easier since my older daughter drives... and loves running errands - meaning drive her extroverted sister all over kingdom come.what's with school starting so late? I like it being early enough that I can justify driving in pajamas - when it's dark still. The PTA would not approve.

ModernMom said...

Wow! I will no longer complain about before school activities.
School here is from 9am-3:30pm. Perfect for us. If your kids start at 7am what time are they done?
If they catch the bus at 6am how early do those babes have to get up?? Yikes!
