After my wildly successful evening on Saturday when I won a trip to Puerto Vallarta, I was certainly not expecting tonight to be anything special. The PTA President had a procedure done yesterday and wasn't feeling up to leading the meeting tonight, so as runner-up (I mean 1st VP) I was tapped for the job. I wasn't too concerned about leading the meeting...after all, we have a script, and I don't have a problem with public speaking.
I was more nervous for Jacob who was going to be the speaker from the Cub Scout pack to lead the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. He practiced and was totally ready, until he saw several hundred people in the cafeteria who were ultimately there for the 4th grade choir concert! He did well but was so quiet, Mark couldn't hear him in the back. Oh well. At least he'll earn his Webelos badge now.
The meeting was short and sweet and we moved into presenting Honorary Life Memberships, "one of the highest honors that can be bestowed in the Texas PTA, awarded to individuals for outstanding service to children and youth.
Donna Allen started to read her speech first. I didn't know she was talking about me until she mentioned Jennifer Massey Designs! And then it just got funnier from there.
Hopefully all the parents and teachers in attendance will forget the part about me not liking kids by the time the election comes around in April. But then again...it might be my only way out of being president!
So, thank you, thank you to Donna and Evette and anyone else who nominated me. I appreciate being recognized - especially when I least expected it!
Feeling rather lucky now and might just have to jet off to Vegas!
