FYI: If someone begs you to be a room mother because no one else has signed up, there’s a reason for that. One, apparently this seemingly-simple job is too much work and other people know that, and two, you have “sucker” stamped on your forehead.Â
Don’t say you weren’t warned.
See you tomorrow after I’ve burned all the candy in the house.Â

OMG, I did the same thing. Teacher put out a “I still need one or preferably two people to serve as room parents.”
Feeling guilty for not having pulled my weight in K and 1, I emailed her with “If you don’t hear from anyone else I can help out. But you know I do work every morning.”
Next thing, I get teh next newsletter and it says “Thanks to Sara for agreeing to be Room Mom!”
And then she emails me, “So, you didn’t get back to me about being room mom?” and I replied, “Well, when I saw it in the newsletter, I kinda figured it was a done deal.”
D’oh. Never again. At least, not again until DD hits school, and its been a few years since this year and I get that “I should be doing more for the school” feeling again…..
Hope you made it through *your* Room Mom Trial By Fire…. eat the candy, don’t burn it.

well, I feel your pain but I’m glad there’s another SUCKER out there! LOL
I think next year I’m only going to sign up on the helper sheet AFTER someone else has sacrificed themselves for the top job.
