SOCCER MOM?
When did life change from getting high and drunk in a nightclub to soccer mom and the PTA? I never thought I would of seen the day when I became a soccer mom and on the PTA council. One morning I woke up and said, "who is this?" It is not that I don't like being involved with my son's interest, but I never thought that would be me. Am I one of those mothers? Am I going to start baking cookies and selling lemonade on the corner? Or better yet sewing Halloween costumes? Jude better grow up to be a wellrounded, educated, cultural, generous, athletic and open minded adult, because I am going against my morals here to show him that I support him a 100%. Kids need that and I hope he benefits. If he turns out to be a serial killer, racist, junkie, drop out, I swear I will be the first to kill him.
The good thing is the times have changed most of the soccer moms and PTA parents are all young and hip parents. It is not the stereotypical Betty Crocker mothers. Not at all! Most of them are our age who surf and play in bands. They are pretty cool parents. So, I do not feel so bad. The PTA/Soccer mom image has changed.. The Generation X kids are the parents now. Which I think is pretty cool. I do not think our kids will be as screwed up as we are. The new generation of parents will not hide anything from their kids. They tell them about sex and drugs straight up. Not like my parents, who gave me a book to read because the couldn't even say the word "SEX". Drugs? What was that? I did not even hear the word in my house. We would not of been so damn curious if we knew what we were getting into. Atleast if my son is curious he will be educated about sex, drugs and materialistic skanks. He will know the cause and effect of everything. Lets hope he will not be curious.
Well, this is my weekely schedule..
- Jude has school M-F 8:40am - 2:40am. I drop him off at school.
- Go to the Java Beach Cafe and do some homework for my class while I watch all of the hippies and surfers skateboard outside.
- Then attend my yoag class if I actually make it on time.
- Head home and read all of the emails from the PTA and start on that work load.
- Pick Jude up from school and turn in my work to the PTA.
- If it is Thursday - Soccer practice
- Oh, I forgot I also have school Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays.
So that is my week! Oh, Jude will be starting Spanish and Cantonese at the end of the month as well, so I will have to pick him up from those classes as well. Man, I did not know that your life becomes so busy when the kids start school. I do enjoy being busy but I am still getting accustomed to it.
Check put this album called "SoccerMom", pretty cool if you like the 60's..
Really cool record. She is pretty hot in LA right now.
