Helper Mom

Last night I found out what parties I'll be a homeroom mother for. With two kids in school now, I have to admit I'm getting confused with all that I'll have to do.

Our elementary school merged with one of the other schools that closed, so now we're dealing with a lot of different mothers, mothers who seem to have too much time on their hands.

Not to mention, when I attempted to chat up and make nice with some of the preschool mothers, they looked at me like I'd farted in church. Or else I had a booger in my nose, I don't know.

See, these moms are from the "Peyton Place" elementary school, while our school is looked at as "Deliverance."

And these parties are usually no big deal, but these new moms make it seem like a lot more work that it has to be.

Oh yeah, I have to get fingerprinted too! It's not enough that I've gone through all kinds of clearances in PA for my teaching certification, or that, because of what Husband does, the US Military has checked on me. Nope, I've still got to be fingerprinted to hand out candy to a bunch of ungrateful hooligans little blessings.
