In Gloria's Place I can be a mom, a woman, a daughter, a wife, a writer, a customer, an observer and a person all at the same time, without judgement or remorse.
It occurred recently to me that I'm more political than I wish I'd be. I try not to discuss politics, avoid any political conversation possible because the truth is once I start talking I'm not going to shut up. Once I take a first step I'm going to get involved and before I know it I'm going to be up to my head trying to make a difference. Take my daughter's school for example. The lunch menu and a few other things I noticed about her school convinced me to sign up for the PTO and when the 1st Vice President position opened up I almost signed up for that too. Instead I've decided to get people to know and like me first. Then slowly convince them that non-preserved food is better. That eco supplies are healthier. That recycling fundraisers are best. That walking to school keeps our kids fit.... I could go on. Like a politicians I'm slithering in kissing babies, winking eyes, shaking hands with the intent to one day be 1st Vice president in a few years or more so that I can make sure kids, especially my kid gets the best education possible in a healthy environment. It seems all so manipulative to me, but the things is I haven't lied about anything. I haven't even stretched a truth. I don't plan to either. So why do I feel so dirty? Yes I know it’s just the PTO. I'm over thinking this. Am I? is this really no big deal?
It's cool that we are able to get the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/mortgage-loans">mortgage loans</a> and this opens up completely new opportunities.
