Rambles

Before going to bed, when Alan opens up a little he mentioned he'd had a time out with Ms. Maria (daycare). I wonder what he did? He also claimed he had no lunch today to my husband. I doubt it as he had orangey grease stains on his outfit (pizza was the lunch of the day).

I got a bunch of stuff as I do on Wednesday from the public school program. There were some flyers from the PTA. One had the different things you could do, noted as being day or evening type jobs. I did notice the legislative and bylaw committee which brought my mom's old position to mind. The other flyer asked for class mother's. Thinking that's an easy job as the "disabled" pre-k classes are small, I signed up.

Is anyone else a class mother - is it a big job?

I was a room mom a couple of years ago. I was a bad one! Some moms really get serious about it, pop in every week or every few days, help the teacher, really get to know the kids. Some, like me, are delegators. I called the other moms, asked for help with everything! "Can you send in some cups?" "Would you mind running the class party on this day?" I made sure that teacher appreciation week was covered, sent in extra flowers so all the kids could give her one on flower day, etc. By the end of the year the kids all knew me, but I only knew a handful by name! I'd have liked to be there more often but I had Audrey in tow and 2 other classrooms to volunteer in so it was hard!
