My oldest just started kindergarten and I had my inaugural PTO meeting last week. I can really get behind the PTO and what they do and provide for the school and teachers. I offered to volunteer what time I can for now, but when the baby is born in November my time will be very limited to Caedon's teacher. I was tempted to flash the devil horns/rocker sign at the mom who kept eyeballing my black nail polish. PTO moms come in all shapes and sizes and sometimes we leave our pearls, skulls and crossbones at home. Caedon did manage to sell $205 worth of pizza kits. You know the ones..... Linked from blissfully domestic living. hahahaha!! My oldest just started kindergarten and I had my inaugural PTO meeting last week.

We told the strategic planning committee we were flat tapped out. When you start to resent your volunteer work, it's time to take a break. They backed off quick. The main problem was that it was primarily my husband's overloaded church volunteering that has caused us to feel burned out, not the school at all. But the school will suffer a bit because of it. But I will still be peddling cookie dough in another month. Some things can not be avoided.

I wish I would have read these tips earlier! My son came home with a form asking for volunteers to help with various duties including making copies for teachers, organizing forms, putting together packets, and more. I practically checked them all, thinking I could do something every now and then. But now I'm hitting myself on the head! Doh! Oh, gosh… I wish I would have read these tips earlier!
