I'm sweating. It's a little early for my morning hot flash. That doesn't usually kick in until 10:00 or so...Today is my first PTA meeting as Vice President. I know it's retarded, but I'm actually nervous. I have to get up in front of everyone and introduce myself, yadda, yadda, yadda, dork. I used to be an Assistant Vice President at an international bank. And I'm nervous now? Life is strange.
There are usually like 100 women at the first meeting. ALL DOLLED UP. Oh the labels and matchy, matchy outfits, lots of pink and green, lots of make up and expensive pocketbooks....It's hard for me, because really, I'm a regular girl. I don't usually wear make up, I don't dress up to pick my kids up at school. The only person I want to impress is my husband and he likes me the way I am....well maybe a few sizes smaller, but he likes me nonetheless. Today is a dog and pony show. At the next meeting, the attendance will dwindle to about 40 and then to about 20 for the rest of the year.
Today they announce class mothers, which I hope I get picked for my sons class in the worst way....cross your fingers for me. I was already Daughter's when she was in kindergarten and that lessens my chances, but I am hopeful!!!
Gotta go put on some lipstick. I actually put on mascara, but this is the last time dammit. Have a nice day....
UPDATE: I GOT PICKED FOR CLASS MOTHER!!!! (dancing and arms circling in my best cabbage patch....) Cannot wait to tell my darling Son!!!
