Kibbie - hope you feel better! This should make you laugh (reminded me of your coach story), and yes, an actual email I was oh so lucky to receive yesterday:
Dear Zimbo - I am so glad our girls are in the same class again this year, and we'll be room moms together. YAY! Little DevilSpawnette begged me to be room mom, that's really the only reason I signed up. I hate talking to groups of people, am not artsy, so can't really help with the craft projects, and don't think I'll be good at managing the money or volunteer schedules. Sorry you couldn't get hold of me before the parent meeting, but you did an awesome job getting everything organized in time. Do we all need to take a turn reading to the class? I don't really like doing it, maybe I'll see if someone else will do it for me. Hey, let me know if I can help with anything.

So did you roll your eyes and laugh until you snorted?

How do you respond to that!? Love her last line but then insert "but I probably won't do it anyway".

Two days ago you told us your room was full to the brim with clothes. Dig. See if there are some big girl panties in the pile and pull them on.

Reason: Wouldn't let me type caps on the first OMG. Very odd.

Dear Mommy of Little DevilSpawnette.
Well, first I'm SO glad that LDSpawnette knows how to whine and beg. It's such a necessary life skill. You must be proud.
I totally know what you mean about not being able to do anything most people can do while they are actually living a life. I mean, WOW!, it's just so hard to be as special and helpless as a kitten. A cute little kitten. So you really think I do an awesome job getting organized in time? Pishaw. It's just little old me doing nothing special. I mean it's not like I'm solving the federal budget problems or anything. You're just buttering me up you silly girl!
No. You can't help me with anything. Because, silly me, I'm just smart enough to not get roped into anything to save your size 0 butt which you only have because you are in the gym and not doing things like, I don't know, organizing things.
Let me know if I can do anything for you. Really. Like pick up the tab at lunch.

One thing I have learned (finally) is that if I do volunteer for something, I bank on it just being me. If people actually do step up, then that's an added bonus. I also have a band of trustworthy cohorts whom I rely on when necessary.
