After procrastinating for at least a year now I am FINALLY starting my blog.....
Okay, so in the past when I was a much more judgemental me, I would have felt like vomiting at the thought of becoming a PTA mom. The very term PTA mom brings certain stereotypes to mind that I don't, generally, associate myself with, if you know what I mean. (Notice I used the word stereotypes as I am sure you real PTA mom's out there are a very diverse and interesting bunch).
But a few random events have brought me to my current predicament wherein I am being asked to join the PTA ranks, and not just as some low level member, I have actually been asked to fill in as PTA Vice President. I know! That is the epitome of uncool. Grappling with this question has brought me to the sudden realization that for some time now I really have not been fitting into any image that could even remotely be considered "cool" (or hip, hot, fresh, etc....).
It has been a work in progress, actually. As I have been trying less and less to fit some "image" or "ideal" that I consider acceptable to others I have become more and more like "me". If my goal is to worry less about what others think and more about the real me then I really need to accept the fact that I may actually be very "uncool".
So, the big question is do I take the final step that will really send me over the threshhold into the world of the uncool from which I may never return? Do I accept the position as PTA vice president? Well, I have until Monday to decide and seeing as procrastination is my way, I have plenty of time to make that decision. By the way, is procrastination among the skills needed to be a good PTA mom?
