I've never filled out the PTO volunteer forms; and my kids seem to be OK so far :-). I'm happy that there are other moms who are willing. It might be a different story if we were at a school full of apathetic parents -- then I'd probably feel the need to step up somehow, if that makes sense. <br /><br />Anyway, I'm in my 40s and I'm enjoying it although I don't care for the extra wrinkles so much :-).Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10401551604933163595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-75688571136436757652011-08-04T11:29:21.904-07:002011-08-04T11:29:21.904-07:00Thanks, Flash! Glad to hear good thoughts on the ...Thanks, Flash! Glad to hear good thoughts on the 60's too!<br /><br />Kelly-- You're welcome. I mention these things because I want others to realize we all don't fall into the "mom" category stereotypically and that it's okay. Thanks for your note. I always love hearing that others also feel that way!<br /><br />Poetic Soul-- I definitely say to continue to look forward to these things, but don't feel bad if you fit the "perfect mom" mold. <br /><br />I spent a lot of time questioning what was wrong with me, why I didn't like doing the things other moms did. I still did a lot, but I never felt as if I fit the "mom mold." --I don't like to cook, I don't like organizing birthday parties (or handmaking decorations, costumes, etc.) all these things I watched other moms doing, field trips were never fun for me--I took them way too seriously and as I said, worried the whole time...<br /><br />BUT you may LOVE all these things! And that's great! <br /><br />I'm not saying moms with these crazyskills should hide them or pretend to be interested in poetry, what I'm saying is honor yourself and your style. <br /><br />Just always remember to listen to your own heart.Kelli Russell Agodon - Book of Kellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798460634708905783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-85713209869800070632011-08-03T00:03:04.155-07:002011-08-03T00:03:04.155-07:00The less you volunteer huh, classic..

I am loving my 60's...I love your confessions. <br /><br />I am loving my 60's (I'm 61). Other than some physical stuff, I'm mellow and circumspect, I'm not so much into any one elses' business anymore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067576860660881139noreply@blogger.com
