Yes, dear friends, it is HERE that, with great sadness, I am officially announcing my retirement from the esteemed position of Room Mom at St. Dominics School....
Actually, I told the school two weeks ago and I am not the least bit sad :) What a ride! It was everything I wanted...and SOOO much more :) I knew that I wanted to stay super involved in Brooke's school...especially since it was her first year. Check. I knew I needed to complete 35 hours of volunteer work for her school, anyway (LOVE that about her school in that it makes parents stay involved). Check ++++. 35 hours? Whaaaat? Try 235! :)
But between the school auction, three class major parties, a casino night event, teacher gifts, field trips, monthly newsletters, preparing a faculty luncheon, PTG meetings.....I am ready to spread the wealth here, people. Luckily, they got a brand new sucker, I mean, LOVELY, COMMITTED MOM to be the Room Mom in 1st grade.
All jokes aside, it really has been an amazing year for both Brookey and I. It was such a blessing to be able to be involved with her school by working on campus 2 days a week and participating in Room Mom activities. I can tell it means so much to Brooke when I am in her classroom--her face just lights up. I know these moments won't last forever so I'm trying to hold on...I can find other ways to "hold on" without being Room Mom, though :)
