the first day of school



I know it's just Pre-K but our 4 and 1/2 year old is going to big girl school.  I think I'm more anxious than she is at this point.  Meeting new parents and teachers and being in a new environment is something I'm use to.  It's just a big deal and I'm ready for the first day to be over.  Plus the PTA wants us to volunteer 1 hour a week over lunch so the teachers can get a break.  I thought I would be using my musical talents to entertain the kids but I guess I'll be cleaning up sloppy joe's off the cafeteria floor.  But whatever, it's better than waiting in a truck to catch Lindsey Lohan stumbling out of a party.  But that's a whole other story.  Almost a different life.  But I digress.  Well, wish me luck. I just can't believe the "PTA" is now apart of my life.  But it's inevitable when you have kids.  So I'll embrace it.  And help change it.  I'm sure there's not a lot of guys like me on the PTA board.  But that's going to change.  Because a lot of things have changed in this country.  In this world.  The old way is out.  The trophy wives/moms are dwindling and there are more dads involved in school activities than ever.  And that's a good thing.  Alright, thanks for listening....Now, off to Pre-K.......
