I just got the BEST phone call ever! My son is starting preschool this year and it is a co-op preschool. For those of you that don’t know what that is, basically the tuition is lower for the moms who agree to help out in the room.
Anyhow, I forgot (not setting a good first impression lol) to send in the job form. Tomorrow is the orientation, so I figured I would take it tomorrow and take whatever crappy job was left. Apparently I wasn’t the only mom who forgot to mail it in so the lady in charge had to make phone calls to distribute jobs. She started going through the jobs available and let me tell you, I was getting a little nervous. Things like, grounds keeper (shovel snow and put out salt…no thanks), housekeeper (no thanks again), classroom liason (well maybe), and are you ready for this…PARTY MOM!
I couldn’t believe Party Mom was still available. Of course I chose that. That job is right up my alley! I love to plan parties and the best news…as Party Mom, I have to be at every preschool party!! Some of you may be thinking “sugar, 4 year olds, screaming…”, and yes I thought all those things too, but…this is my son’s first preschool experience and I can’t wait to get pictures and watch him have fun!!!
I’m so geeked!
Wow what a fun job !
I’m hoping to get an assignment at my daughter’s kindergarden as well.
Oh definitely just ask if help is needed. Teachers like to know they have parent helpers…especially parent helpers that WANT to help!
Hey there! Thanks for coming by my blog and entering my blog design giveaway! I enjoyed reading your blog! Lindsey, Mommy Chronicles
leah thanks for those lyrics lol 🙂 that was awesome.
That is awesome! I would’ve been all over the Party Mom job myself – lol – though I tend to let myself get carried away sometimes…. 😉
Congrats!
Party mom does sound like fun!!! YAY
Sounds fun! Congrats!
Very cool. Glad you got a job that suits you.
Oooooohhhh…I was Party Mom in my daughter’s preschool. It’s loads of work, but loads of fun, too, and you can meet new friends as you try to get everyone involved. Good luck on your new adventure!
That’s the only part of homeschooling that I’ll miss from public/private school. I was homeroom mom every year. I’ve also been 1st V.P. of the PTA/HSA. I love doing that stuff!! Oh well, I have her home where she belongs and that’s worth everything!!
You’re absolutely going to love it!! It’s definitely you!!
