oh oh a bump in the road

okay, so this was supposed to be a rambling, ranting, reporting of a mom in transition - like from home to work outside the home. uh huh. except, then i went and volunteered to be on our parent council at my kids' school. hello. remember office politics? worse. remember client politics? worse. remember playground politics? much much worse. ick. i love doing it for the kids school and i thought it would be really great to be part of our school community. it is. but man, some of these women (oh yes, they are always women) are so so so full of this role. this tiny bit of acquired power (??), or social standing. it's truly obnoxious. wow.
on the other hand, there are still many women who i adore who, like me wanted to be part of their kids' school and help wherever possible. i do love my co-mommies, for so many reasons. it's the other ones, the ones that i don't even love as co-mommies that grate on my noives. yes, i did say noives. need sleep now.
