Okay today was a typical PTA president day. I arrived at school at 11:30 to calculate the latest fundraiser. While that was happening the school pictures came in. Handled that, went back to the fundraiser. Finished the fundraiser and realize the banks are closed. Take home money from fundraiser and picture profit. Stop at barnes and noble to purchase 20 books for tomorrow’s book club. They only have 10 copies. Call next nearest store and reserve another 8 (all they had) and will have to find another 2 copies at Borders. Realize that I have again scheduled my son’s allergy shot during a once every two week special event so call to reschedule. Now I am downloading software for another homework assignment and I either have to go out early tomorrow morning or tonight to get Danishes for the group that does my son’s event tomorrow. Life is never boring!

Movie Day at School
It is very easy to plan a movie day if you have cooperative teachers. Pick a date and location in the school that holds the students. The easiest is to make popcorn and we have a large drink thermos. I put together a couple bags of ice, Ginger ale (about 6 2-liter bottles), any powdered juice mix you have to make punch. Have the movie run, feed them a little popcorn and punch and you are doing good. Anything that breaks up the every day tedium is appreciated.
