PTO President Today, Master of the Universe Tomorrow

I know I've basically disappeared from the blogosphere the past couple weeks. Everything is going really well, it's just been incredibly busy here not helped by the fact the Big Giraffe needed to strip my computer since it basically bit the dust. Yes, I know it's busy for all parents, but seriously I didn't expect my life to be this busy. Alright, foolishly I thought that having a child in full day kindergarten meant that I would have a little more free time. On second thought I take that back. Yes, I did indeed have more free time, I just also have much more things to do.

Last weekend was my last triathlon of this season. While I really enjoyed doing it, I was looking forward to it being over for a little bit. I was feeling a little burned out. While I'm still working out 5-6 days a week, it's not as intense and I'm not doing any double workouts. I ended my season on a good note. I relayed a fundraising triathlon as a runner and got my best running time in a 5K so I was pleased. It's only a couple more months until my training starts back up again.

I'm not sure exactly how this happened, but I went into a PTO meeting as the VP and came out the president. I'm still trying to figure that one out! Anyhow, it is going really well and all the positions got filled, some of them with multiple people. Everyone seems excited by it. I do confess though that this weekend there may have been a few tears shed over something called Muffin Monday* and Treat Tuesday that I completely didn't understand. Not to mention that fact that I was putting together a PowerPoint presentation on a topic and that I had only learned about a couple days ago myself!

Anyhow, like I said everything is good. While I wasn't planning on being president, it actually works into my grand plan nicely. PTO president today, Master of the Universe tomorrow. It's all about small steps!

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: If you were president of your moms group, it is inevitable that you too will some day be PTO president.

* I wrote about Muffin Mondays over at Grasshopper Network Media Parents. It will be posted on Saturday.
