i do not appreciate the strong arm tactics being employed by the committee for good schools

Today P is seriously on the mend. He has moved all the way from comatose into cracked-out kitten. Our house was SO LOUD this morning, and I guess I hadn't realized how quiet it was all week. Haney didn't really talk from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday, and P has mostly laid on the couch and/or cried since Sunday morning.

Miss A has a school choir concert tomorrow morning. It's at the fundraising pancake breakfast for the Committee for Good Schools. Is that a racket, or what? So each of us has to pay $7 for pancakes, OR we can be the a-holes who don't bother going to their kid's concert. Although I actually attended the concert when it was held the first time, sometime during the last week. So we [geez, I say "so" a lot] have to get up and dressed and out the door by 7:45ish so we can get to this dumb thing and get good seats and pay $25 (family maximum) for a bunch of soggy pancakes, and for the pleasure of cleaning syrup off our three younger children and, subsequently, ourselves.

  1. sooo skipped this! i agree: it's a brilliant, yet evil plan to get cash into the coffers. i will not be manipulated :-) plus, with 187 kids in all, even if 100 don't show, they'll still be packed onto those little risers. hope you had "fun"! -j
