For those of you who understand the difference between “planning
a wedding” and “getting married”, you will appreciate what I mean when I say
there is a similar difference between “organizing a political campaign” and “running
for office”. Right now, life is a hectic
blur of campaigning, moving back into our bedrooms (after moving out to finish
improvement projects and swap bedrooms for more efficient living), preparing
for school, and (still) toilet training my 2 ½ year old daughter. I do not mean to sound like I am complaining –
I feel very fortunate in my life. But,
of course, all of these exciting things would happen at the same time. I am really trying my best to "do it all" - there is no doubt that I will need a big nap
on September 18th and again on November 6th (assuming I make it through
the primary).
I am in the process of writing my next blog post about
parent involvement, which will hopefully be ready to post over the weekend. I have another post (or two) in the works about
Superintendent Russell’s evaluation and the DESE’s Quarterly Progress Report, both of which were on the agenda at
the last school committee meeting.
I am happy to report that my campaign signs and bumper
magnets are in the process of being printed.
As an exercise to expand my blogging expertise, I will try to post an
image of my logo below (fingers crossed with that one). Please let me know if
you are interested in getting a sign or bumper magnet. (Magnets will be oval, signs will be rectangular.)
In the meantime, I am looking forward to returning to some
semblance of the “normal” routine – and getting back to what I enjoy doing in
my spare time, which is talking to people about our schools. Maybe that makes me a geeky school mom...or just
passionate about the cause? I am
interested in coming to your neighborhood and talking to your friends and
neighbors to get their feedback and thoughts.
If you are interested in hosting tea/coffee (just a few friends or
neighbors, not an all-out party – I will even bring the refreshments), please
let me know. Thanks!
