Campaign Manager

There are many hats I knew I would wear when I decided to be a mother. I knew I would be a nurturer, cook, housekeeper, teacher, taxi driver, nurse, and a mired of other things. But to this day I never considered campaign manager as one of them. Logan I mean Max has decided to run for Vice President of his grade school. I know a shocker to us all, but this kid is really coming out of his shell. His teacher told me he is a friend to everyone and he won the class elections. So, here we are Max running for office and me the amazing campaign manager.

The first item of business was to make 5 posters to hang in the halls of school for the next week.  Now being the amazing campaign manager that I am, I immediately asked the treasurer of our campaign aka Monte if I could have a budget of $300. You see I've always wanted a cricket or a silhouette or any of those fun kind of machines and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to acquire one. I was immediately shot down. For some kind of reason the treasurer did not think it was worth running a $300 campaign for a child in grade school whom nobody really even knows yet because he's the new kid. Ahh the injustice of working within the government.

Well a good campaign manager always picks themselves up when the chips are down so we created 5 posters on a budget of $0. They turned out great, and the candidate was super excited. So next up on the campaign trail is writing the speech, which will be delivered in front of the whole school. I'm pretty sure speech writer falls under the tittle of campaign manager. So, here's to wearing new hats, and taking them for a ride!
