I Am That Mom, I Guess

I am a mom.

I live in the suburbs. (But I live like two blocks from the city so I am still a city mom. Right?)

I have a kid in school.

But I am not a suburban PTA mom. I am way too cool for that.

Except that I am not.

When Bunny started Junior Kindergarten this year, I was super excited. There were sign up sheets for activities on the table at orientation and I totally signed up for most of them.

Library walk, check. Halloween party, check. Holiday party, check. Field trip, check.

Room mom, check.

That's right I'm a room mom and I love it.

Wednesday was the Halloween party and I was in charge of it. I planned the crafts (making witches and decorating cookies) and the games (spoon races with candy corn and toss the ghost in the witches cauldron). The kids loved it. I loved it.

I loved everything about it. I loved hearing the kids say "Bunny's mom could you help me." I loved the smiles on their faces as they ate the cookies they decorated. I loved hearing the laughter coming from the games.

I am a suburban PTA mom and I am proud of it.
