I am so glad you found me cause the PLO thing made laugh so hard I choked a little on my cantaloupe.

There's a VP of Communications for the PTO? Yeah, they probably won't be picking me for that one...

As I always say, the PTO is just like the PTA. And a little like the PLO.

Found you via After the Bubbly. I'm in Austin and as the PTO VP of Communications (WTF?), I feel your pain.

Totally runs in the family girl. Totally. I am a freak.

I have done the cookie thing before, except it was with muffins. Everything at Max's school has to be all healthy, but I burned the healthy muffins, so I bought some of those little mini muffins in the bags and dumped them in my bowl. Everyone thought they were delicious. Well, duh.

I'm way to competitive to be a PTA mom. Already, when it comes time to do goody bags, I want my girls' bags to beat any of the other moms' bags! Being a PTA mom wouldn't be good for my health probably.

I've got your cookie problem solved. Find you one of those markets that have the freshly baked goods. Buy the cookies freshly baked at the store, remove them from the package and pass them off as your own!

I have a smarty pants on my hands too. He is about to start kindergarten and while he's not reading at a sixth grade level, he is reading better than most his age and knows the states, presidents etc. probably better than I do!

I will consider myself warned about the PTA and while I believe myself to be rather crafty, I usually do it with a fair amount of smart ass and potty mouth mixed in so I don't think I would be a good candidate anyway.

Good luck with all that mess.

With Black Cloud: Use the force.

Michelle: Oh, I'll have to delegate all that cause...

Michelle: Oh, I'll have to delegate all that cause if I put any type of my dough in the oven in the attempt to fashion it into baked deliciousness, it will likely come out either still a doughy substance, at least in the middle or a little ball of charcoal.

Allie: I know. I didn't expect it either. You know, you bake real good and you live close to me...I need to e-mail you about meeting up. I'll do that now, I think.

Lesa and Black Cloud: I'm scared...

The first day my daughter went to school they sent home a note asking parents to come join the PTA. Friends, relatives, boyfriends, creatures and Gods of all kinds came forth and said unto me, "Do not pass go. Do not collect $200." Most people were afraid that I'd walk in, tell everyone they didn't know what they were doing and leave as president...then spend my year complaining about how much work I had to do all by myself. LOL They were probably right. I never went. Never intend to.
May the force be with you.

Oh lord...your life is about to witness scandal, impeachment, brown-nosing, cliques (even though the parents aren't still in school) I witnessed this all my first year of PTA and got the hell out as quick as I could. I never went back to PTA. It was a train wreck for sure! I'm now involved in the parent booster for class of 2010 and it isn't much better! If they weren't so desperate for help and me being worried that son's prom will be held in the cafeteria I would run away from it too! Be prepared for the stay at home mom's to be the first to not do what they are supposed to and the working moms to have to do the brunt..sorry all you SAHM's this is only my experience in my little suburb!

Oh wow. I don't know what to say. I wasn't expecti...

2009-07-10T01:02:46.126-05:00

Oh wow. I don't know what to say. I wasn't expecting this. I like Michelle's idea though: delegate.

2009-07-09T23:46:54.971-05:00

Tell me it ain't so! I can't believe you have fallen to the dark side. Next thing you know you will be baking fourteen dozen cookies for the bake sale. Or even worse, strong arming the other mommies to do it for you.
