Tonight, I attended the first of what is most likely to be thousands of P.T.A. meetings! I was asked by a friend of mine who is on the executive board to be a member and of course I, Mrs. Overcommit, was only too happy to join! About 50 mothers met at On The Border for Mexican food, fellowship, and information about the coming year.
I am in charge of the birthday book club. This is a neat program that allows parents and grandparents to buy a book for the library in their child's honor. A name plate is put into the book and the child gets the honor of checking it out first. My duties are to work with the librarian, get the word out to parents, and most importantly, set up a booth on Grandparents Day. I have been told that more books are bought on that day than any other! Nana and Deedah, get your checkbook out! I am passionate about reading so I think that I will really enjoy this job!
I met several new people tonight as well as reconnected with friends from high school, college, and working days. I am excited about expanding my circle of friends by my volunteering at school.
I am so excited both for Matthew and for me about this year! We will both experience new things and make new friends. Only 9 days to go!!
Had a thought.

Birthday Book Club? Sounds really neat! Gracie started today! She did well, and I'll probably post some pictures on my blog later.
You'll do a great job!
That sounds so neat! PTA is so important to be involved in. We are starting school on Monday! And Sunday, we are presenting kinder kids with their kinder boxes. I will cry like a baby for sure, and I am in the front of church handing them out!! I need to get my emotions under control before Sunday morning.
You will love every minute of being involved in M's school. I pledge so much allegiance to good 'ol Desert Willow elementary.
