It’s been a busy few weeks. Quinn started back to school for his final year of preschool. And I have been simultaneously getting busier at work while also transforming into the next stage of mom-dom.

Two weekends ago I attended my first soccer league meeting. (Yes, I’m serious. How cliche, I know.) San Francisco Micro Soccer, to be exact. The meeting was a first in league history and came as a reaction to several assault charges over the last couple years. Not between the kids but between parents and coaches. What is wrong with these people? It’s MICRO soccer for goodness sakes. They don’t even score the games.

This past week I experienced another first. My first PTA meeting. Well, PTTA actually. I haven’t figured out what the extra “T” is for, but since his school is in San Francisco and is very focused on diversity and inclusion, I’m guessing it’s for Transexual. The Parent Teacher Transexual Association. No?

The meeting was actually quite insipiring. Parents told their stories of how volunteering at the school has enriched their lives as well as their childrens’. Then they briefly listed all the areas of need. It was focused and to the point. No bitching and moaning as one might imagine. Very friendly and efficient. And they passed around wine and champagne so what’s not to love about the PTTA? By the end of it I was seriously considering offering to co-chair a big end of year fundraising event. Heck, I might even bake a batch of cookies.
