I say this to my kid's teachers every single year.
I tell them, hey- let me know how I can help.
I am willing to do anything, but just don't ask me to make cookies. I'll tutor, I'll do research, I'll chaperone trips, I'll decorate bulletin boards- just no baking please.
I am so not that kind of mom. The tutoring is really more my bag. I like to go in, help someone somehow and be done. Then I stop for food on the way home, I sure don't come home and BAKE.
So, I agree to be VP of the freaking PTA and guess what I will be doing the weekend of November 1-2? That is right folks- helping to make 500 cookies for the fall cookie dough fundraiser kick off event. I only own one freaking cookie sheet.
Really. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. How did this happen? I swore to god I'd never be the cookie toting PTA mom. But rest assured- next year, when I inherit the queen of the PTA throne, I am really hoping there are no cookies involved.
I'll do everything I can to keep that from happening.

ROTFL! And what I tell them ... I can't do anything right now *at* the school, because I have a three year old, but I love to bake, so anything you need, cookies, cupcakes, brownies, just let me know. But I can't come in to the school.
"Can you help run the in-school museum?"
Shaking my head. Because it IS my life. "Anything but a soup lunch, no more soup lunches, PLEASE!"
Yeah. Uh huh. You got it. TWO of 'em. Every month.
lol!
Rock on all you funky UU moms!
That is sooo funny! Isn't it amazing how we always end up doing the one thing we don't want to!?!
