I'm the PTA president at dds school and ALWAYS there. I make copies, I cut stuff out, I do bulletin boards, I paint, I organize, collate, all of that crap. When dds teacher approached me about being room mother I begged her to find someone else and not make me do it.
She was more than a little surprised. Room mom is the pits! Let's outdo each other! Let's worry about sugar but not food dye! Let's get passive aggressive when the other parents don't do things the way you want them done!
