So, I missed the PTA meeting that happened earlier this week. I hate the PTA. It is boring and ridiculous. The first time I went, I paid my $8 dues. Dues are $16 if you're husband wants to go. If he does go, you're welcome to to vote 2x. Whatever that means. What does that mean?!
My first PTA meeting went ok. I got to hang out with a friend. It is not a coincidence that I got to hang out there. She is partly to blame for that horrible night.
I grew up in Hawaii. I remember only a few fundraisers. I remember those hole punchie things at Ooka's. I remember the girl scout cookies. Oh, I remember Campbell Noodle Soup labels, too. I do not, however, remember box tops.
Just FYI...never say you don't know what a boxtop is. The PTA people will look at you like you're crazy. They will gaze in your direction and attempt to fill you in while they stare at you in disgust. I was shocked by this. I should know these things. I am, after all, a mom! Cassey, my friend, later took pictures to show me what a boxtop is. Thanks to her I am no longer PTA freak.
I have two kids. I should take advantage of these boxtop meals. I think my life would be easier. I think dinner would come together in a less rushed fashion. We might be given the chance to eat at a decent time.
The truth is that I enjoy cooking. I enjoy putting the energy into making my family a home cooked supper. I like that slow cooked taste. I enjoy putting a meal together from a group of ingredients. I love fresh vegetables.
Oh well. Lesson learned. I like that I found out what a box top is. Now I can nod my head and act like I know what people are talking about.

LOL, I actually collect box tops for Tia..if it is actually the same thing you're talking about..they use it here to raise money for new computers & educational supplies throughout the year..but don't worry, you are not alone! When her teacher approached me to join in the "collecting group", I was clueless..I did not know what it was, & I was embarrassed to ask, haha...thank god for Tia..she walked me through the whole process & gave me a printed list of items that have them..
ReplyDeleteso...are you gonna give us the scoop or just wait for the rest of us to be PTA freaks too
ReplyDeleteA boxtop is found on stuff like Hamburger Helper & other box meals. Everything in my house is from scratch. We started making even brownies from scratch, so of course I wouldn't know what a box top is. Who cares anyway. PTA=freaks. LOL. Just joking. Kinda. I totally felt like a freak there.
