I've been elected!
« on: October 16, 2008, 06:40:24 PM »
I have been elected to my first official position.  My sons played tee ball last year, and I coached their team.  We had a board meeting tonight and they voted me in as treasure.  I was shocked!  Matt and I designed a site for them last year. We are upgrading them to the 21st century by giving them an on-line registration system and putting the majority of records on the computer and possibly even putting in cameras on the fields so parents or other family members can view the games from.   I am really excited about next season.  I feel honored by my new responsibilities.  They have instilled a large amount of trust and faith in me.  I hope I can make a difference for the better.

I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

Heather you will now be surrounded by "tee ball lobbyists" ;D, and will be given many opportunities to be corrupted by them. Be careful of whom you take donations from. ;D

Seriously, congratulations. ;)

Congrats! Working for your kids and the other kids is definitely worthwhile.  Everyone benefits, including you.

Next will be school board, then town mayor, then state governor, then .....  :)

Spent five of the best years of my life in little league while my son was the best first baseman in the world.
I wouldn't trade for the experience.

Heather, If I were you I would demand an audit before taking the job over because those parents can quibble over things of a lot less importance. hahaha

Seriously, congratulations on your new position in the clean and worthwhile field of youth sports.

No offense to Mrs. Palin whatsoever, but I personally feel that my place will remain at home with my children for at least the next 17 years.  Contrary to my liberal feminist feelings, I personally feel that our society took a major downturn as a whole when women left their homes to find jobs.  I don't blame women for wanting or having to work.  I just feel that it is my place to raise my kids and instill the proper morals and values.  I don't feel comfortable allowing a day care, school system, or after hours care, to do my job for me  just so I can pursue a career, no matter how noble that career might be.  Through the next 17 years, I do see myself participating in my kids lives to the fullest.  You may see my name on the ballots for school board, PTO, or any other organization my kids decide to join.  Heck who knows I might be pres of the quarterback club one day.  I will leave national politics alone until such a time when my kids are grown, self sufficient, and outta my house!  Who knows 20 years from now I might be on the ballot!   ;D ;D
