I’ve Become One Of Them – My First Step Towards The Dark Side

Wow!  I think that I may have just suffered a temporary bought with insanity.  You hear about them all the time in court cases.  I usually think it’s a bunch of bunk but now that I think it’s happened to me…

Tonight was our children’s Little League Annual Meeting.  My husband coaches and I help out with odds and ends stuff with the league when my job allows.  We felt like we needed to go.  At some point during the meeting my insanity took over my body.  When I awoke from my stupor I found out I was now on the Board of Directors.  WHAT??!!!  How in the world did I ever let that happen?  I vowed I wouldn’t when our son started playing 3 years ago.  I promised that I wouldn’t let myself get sucked in.  I wouldn’t let Little League Baseball get the best of me.  But somehow I let it happen.

My Dad was President of my high school athletic club and that drove me nuts!  While I appreciated his involvement there was a lot of “stuff” that went along with it.  I was President of my children’s PTO for two years and there was “stuff” that went along with that.  People just aren’t nice all the time and Parents aren’t nice more often than people.

It’s so political which is so not me!  At the same time I am VERY opinionated and not very quiet about sharing my opinion.  As I look into my crystal ball I see me pissing off A LOT of parents.  Parents with pitch forks, torches an axes.  I fear for my life and I fear that my brief episode with insanity is going to be rearing it’s ugly head again all too soon.

I’ll keep you updated on my next steps towards the dark side.
