Tonight is the third annual Scholarship Dinner, Silent Auction, and Basketball Game (I think that's what it's called) at the boy's school.
Today is the day I realized that I am a suburban mother. I'm even ROOM PARENT for goodness sake! Crazy Exciting for me to get to know the other parents and the boy's friends!
NEVER before today has going to something like this even been remotely appealing to me, but something happened in me this morning. I was poking around on the kid's school's website and sure enough there was the event that the boys have been telling me about. I didn't realize what it was or when it was even though they have been telling me everyday. Honestly, the event looks kind of neat. There is a BBQ dinner and a silent auction. (I am all about those---I'm still sore over last year's loss on a Nativity Scene at a diffent auction)
Well, we're goin! It's going to be pretty fun I think. The teachers are playing basketball and everyone will be having a good time. I think the boys will really enjoy it. I adore their teachers this year and find the small town like atmosphere at the school refreshing. Plus, I'm a real people watcher. NOT a starer... Ok maybe, but going to these types of things will allow me to get to know the other parents better. Sam and Stone are constantly asking me to go over to "So and So's" house and I continuously have to say no because I am NOT about to allow them to go to someone's house whom I do not know. I mean, I am not completely blocking them from all outside of school social interaction. I have taken them to about what seems like 100 birthday parties this year and we have had a child spend the night at our place, but I am not ready for them to venture off just yet. I KNOW I am good. How will I ever know that of others?!?!
Anyway, I have crossed over into being a suburban mother and lovin it! Kennedale has been a great experience so far and am so excited about building a life here with my boys!
