Room Mother ....

So ... My son brings home this letter that NO ONE has volunteered to be room mother for the Halloween Party and that the 6 families that said they'd help or donate should coordinate and get this party underway ... Instant GUILT TRIP!! I'm on vacation this week, and have been picking Austin up from school so I decided to stop in and see if she got any volunteers .... NOPE, NADA, NOTHING .... I told her that my biggest fear was that this would be the lamest of parties the kids had had in the Six years in Elementary School. She said that they'd have fun no matter what ..... SO .... I told her I would do it .... I've always only helped, never took charge .... what am I thinking ... I can't do this .... I only plan/coordinate events from behind the scenes, I don't actually ever have to talk or be in front of people ... and KIDS ... they are the worst, well next to the other parents that will be there as far as judging goes ...

I've asked the teacher to send a note home with the kids for each child to bring $2. I will take that money and get the snacks/prizes etc for the party ... What am I thinking?!?! Now I need to plan, organize ..... think of games .... any ideas?? Anyone?? These are fifth graders ... last year in this school... they can't leave here knowing they had the lamest party ever ......

I know I'm panicing ... its only 20 days till Halloween ... 14 school days till the party... I can do this ... I can do this .... but any ideas would be appreciated .......
