Election Day

Well, the day has come and I'm not really sure how I feel about it. A few weeks back, I decided to run for an office in my dd's vball club. No biggie. I wanted to help out and that seemed to be a great way to go about doing so.

I think I was the first one to be running for co-vp. But when the names of the candidates came out, I had competition. No biggie, except for the fact that the person that is running against me is the wife of my dd's coach (well for the past year anyway...she'll have a new one next time around). Now, the last time I had spoken to her about what positions she was thinking of running for, she told me that she probably wouldn't run b/c the organization didn't like to have 2 members from the same family on the board and her hubby was already part of the board. Hmmmm...so I'm guessing that if she wins, hubby will be stepping down.

At first, I have to admit that I was just a bit perturbed. Because of some things that have been said and just a bit of a gut feeling, I almost believe this is kind of a black-balling thing. Ok. I don't think I've ever done anything to piss these people off, but who knows.

After a while and some thinking about the whole situation, I am thinking that losing would actually be better. This way if my dd decides to try out and play for a more *intense* club, there won't quite the hard feelings of being a board member then taking off for somewhere else. And since I signed up for running, I have found out some really good things about the other clubs that I think are better than the one we are in now.

But again, this is all speculation.

So, later today I am off to talk to a group of people that I really don't know (except for a few) and tell them why I should be co-vp. This should be interesting.
