School Daze

I am envisioning interesting times in the future. It seems that I am now on a committee for our parish school. I cannot even begin to explain just how ironic this is in oh so many ways.

My kids did attend the school from the time they were 3 up through 5th grade for Steve & 2nd for Theresa, at which time I homeschooled them. During the 8 years my kids attended that school, I was very involved but there’s also a lot of history which I won’t go into publicly.

The president of this school committee (or board or whatever the official name for it is) is a friend of mine. It seems she brought up my name at some meeting they had and the principal and our pastor both thought it was a good idea. What they don’t know is I have never been on a committee in my entire life. I haven’t the slightest idea of what exactly I’m supposed to do.

My friend said one thing I bring to the table is I think outside the box; that I have a unique perspective on things. I laughed at that and said, “Uh… and you think that’s a good thing??”

I have no idea what I just got myself into but neither do they. Hey, what’s the worst that can happen? That they kick me off or I quit? I can deal with that. And maybe I actually will be able to contribute something. In any case, this should prove to be an interesting adventure.
