Yes, I know ... I promised you a vlog of the drawing for the blogiversary prize package, but you know what? I didn't do it! That's right ... me! The ultra-responsible, anal retentive, must do what I say pain in the ass. I didn't do it! So there!! What are you going to do? Make me eat liver and onions and lima beans for dinner?? YUMMMM! Vlog will be posted Saturday along with the lucky stalkee winner!

It's been one of those weeks - high, highs and low, lows.
Sunday night, while I was at the market, there was a pissing match between husband and son (12) that culminated in son saying, "Well maybe I should just run away" and husband responding, "Then pack your shit and get out!" Three hours later, after scouring town to try to track him down (it was 9PM), yet another call was made to the police for a "domestic" issue. Fortunately, son was found, safe and sound. Unfortunately, I know this speaks to much larger issues.
Tuesday was my first "official" PTO meeting in my presidential position. Couldn't help but wonder if any of those "conservative" mom's have naughty, HNT filled blogs they are keeping secret *giggle* And someone please tell me what genetic flaw lies in most all women (me being the exception of course) that requires the most simple decisions be discussed ad nauseum? For goodness sakes we are talking about collecting Box Tops for Education, not saving third world countries!
Last night was the Middle School Open House, run much differently this year than in years past. We followed the daily schedule of our kids - eight minutes in each class - three minutes to get to the next class. Three minutes just happens to be the exact time the kids have between classes too, and I find that incredibly ridiculous. Three minutes? I had difficulty getting from one class to the next in time (didn't want to get a tardy slip) and I wasn'tstanding in the hallway, picking my nose stopping at my locker to get my books for the next class!

Found out yesterday that I'll be attending the Moscow Ballet's Great Russian Nutcracker in December. No ... I'm not going to Moscow - they will be in Chicago! Now, I do love the ballet (yes, I realize all of those muscular men with tight asses are gay), but I am far more excited about the music. I am quite the Tchaikovsky fan and will likely be listening far more than watching!

Well I hope things are better now. One thing, when you type Nutcracker, I both wince and get aroused at the same time. Cheers Dana!!
PTA moms are hawt! :-D
Awww...your a PTA mom! PTA mom's are hot. ;)
I hope things are better on your home front. *hugs*
Somebody could probably make a really hot TV show about the Secret Lives of PTA moms.
And put it on cable so it wouldn't have to be censored.
Yeah, that would be hot. ;-)
Hahaha... Jay. I think they have had something like that on HBO... It's called "Real Lives". But I agree, great idea! *giggle*
{{{hugs}}} regarding the issue with your son.
I have often wondered if I'm the only naughty mom around, or if the others have something to hide, as well. :)
Matt-Man, things will get better when I make them better, and not before then. Damn fence is hurting my ass again!
Trée, I will admit my thoughts wandered during the meeting *giggle*
Vixen, yes ... my secret is out! But for the record, I'm not a soccer mom nor have I ever owned a minivan!
That new profile pic is delicious. Let's talk about it ad nauseum.
I'm sorry about the trouble at home. I hope Cam is going okay.
Jay, I'm wondering if mine might still require some censorship!
Biscuit, well, you know you aren't the only naughty mom, just the hottest *wink*
Knight, you better like that new profile pic - it's your fault it's there!
I can totally relate to the ad nauseum part about the PTA meeting.
I honestly dread going to them anymore, since all they talk about is how our PTA is taking care of 2/3 of the school budget with clever fundraisers....
The ONLY reason the PTA is doing so well is because we've got two well-off parents who are in the leadership positions on the board. Once their kids leave for high school, the PTA fundraiser stuff is going to go in the tank, just like it was before said parents got there...
Many kudos to be able to distract yourself in a better way than I'm able to!
Oooo, Nutcracker!!! I'm jealous.
I hear ya with the fence. I'm going to sit a while longer though, it's starting to turn me on...
I'm officially jealous of you now. You get to go to the ballet....the Nutcracker no less!! Hussy!! And I agree, Tchaikovsky rocks!!!
Sorry about all the crap going on at your casa....Poor Cam!
I, too hope things have calmed down with the domestic situations.
As for the new pic, Dana, Dana, Dana...you are such a naughty PTA mom! And I like it! :)
I'm jealous, too. I love the Nutcracker!
I've owned a mini-van, but it got repo'd. I decided paying for the house was more important, seeing as Portland is chock full of buses. I've never been either a soccer mom or a PTA mom, however. I can't stand over-the-top juvenile competition fueled by less-than-mature parents trying to recapture some ethereal lost glory of youth, and I don't have much in common with soccer mom's either. *Grin*
You know how I feel about the Cam situ. Why keep sitting on that fence when you can come sit on my face? (Whoa... did I just type that out loud? *giggle*)
That is going to be so amazing! I would love to go see that show.
Ya know, I ran away when I was young. Well, I was 16 (late bloomer). And it's really sad that your husband said that to him. That's why I left. My mom said she wouldn't care what I did.
Box tops huh? Can't the mother's just send them in, like we do??
You know what, Dana, that breaks my heart about Cam. I'm sorry your husband is so mean to him.
I don't know if my telling you this will make any difference at all, but my mom always stayed with men who were crappy to me (and her, too actually). It really hurt me as a teenager. She even chose one man OVER me and sent me packing to live w/ my grandmother (with the choice being that or foster care). I was barely 14. WTF? I'll never, ever understand why she chose him. He eventually beat the shit out of her and she left him. My younger sister got to witness that.
Do you to explain to Cam why you are there and why you continue to stay when this man who is so mean to him? I'm sure you have your reasons and I'm sure my mother had hers. Didn't make it hurt any less.
I was a very angry girl for a very long time. Sometimes that girl comes up to the surface! ;)
I know this is none of my business so disregard if this offends. I just wondered how you deal with this issue.
Jormengrund, we are a fairly "low budget" group - we put maybe $5000 back into the school each year. Our main focus is giving time, not $$, but still ...
Apple, I'm just getting a big pain in the ass.
tt, yes, the ballet - and it's been years!
I hope things come together soon. You don't want to get any splinters in that luscious derriere
RLL, the pic is YOUR fault! You've corrupted this mild-mannered PTA mom!
Boo, you did type that out loud, and *I* heard it!
Bina, surely you jest! This isn't about just sending the box tops in, it's about how we communicate when they'll be sent in - what award will be given to the grade with the most turned in, etc. You are just so silly!
FF, not out of line or offensive in any way! Actually, it's the thought of your experience - happening to Cam - that concerns me most. Is this "normal"? You see, I don't have any "normal" experience to draw conclusions from - it's almost as if I don't have a properly gauged thermostat. Because, like you, I grew up in a home that was always chaotic, my perception of chaos is likely way off.
No - you weren't offensive at all - I appreciate the sentiments.
Turnbaby, splinters? I hadn't considered that! Let me stop wiggling from side to side before I do permanent damage.
Well, I am getting more muscular and I have been told I have a tight a** (especially for a 54 year old) and I know I am not gay!
HUGS to you Dana...you deserve so much more
Glad your son was found.
Dana, I would have replied about the same words as your husband. I love my boys but I can be a very demanding dad.
PTA in my book = Pain in The Ass
I'm using your third world country remark at the next voting marathon.
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."
- Anais Nin
You have the power to live the life you want. You're strong, my pretty...
You and Cam deserve the world. Now you have to figure out what will bring you happiness and grab it.
Much love to you.
I love the nutcracker, we used to go every year when I was a kid, but it was a local performance, not quite the caliber of what you get to see, WOW! We all expect a review afterward.
By the way, you have been tagged. Come visit my blog to see the rules.
:)
Good luck with the PTO; they can be a great assist to the school. Just reach back and apply those military organizational skills and focus on the mission; you will do well.
Glad to hear Cam is back safe and sound. Does this put "Plan B" in motion?
I HOPE there are more PTA moms out there with naughty HNT blogs. (Wow. THAT was a weird sentence to follow up the previous one!)
Here's to next week being better than this one!
Your husband is a complete fuck! What kind of an idiot would say that to his child? Especially one of that age. No, not going to mix any words on the issue, I've heard too many reasons from you in the past that only highlight the fact that this guy is a loser.
God I hope you won't sit on that fence too long. Playing the part of the victim, may not be what you're calling it, but it sure is looking that way. I don't want to see you or Cam get hurt by this guy.
I was afraid for Cam. Glad he is home safe? and sound? Kisses to you...
Bond, but can you perform the nutcracker??
Al, interesting that you would have had much the same reaction!
Anndi, thank you!
Heather, don't you know that I don't play well with others?? Especially tag *wink*
Kannon7, you know, if I could treat them all as privates, the meeting would go much smoother.
Garbonzo, plan B gets closer and closer each day!
Jeff, thank you for the cyber slap up against the side of the head. Victim is not a word I'd use, but looking at it from the outside, I'm not so sure it isn't the word that should be used.
Lu, thank you!
Yes! Wonderful, Dana! I am delighted that you broke free from your ultra-responsible, anal retentive, must do what I say pain in the ass! I sincerely hope and pray that you will do so again and again and again!
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose
Nothing, I mean nothing honey if it ain't free, no no
