I wish the word "got" was taken out of our language.

we got 3.....yes 3 different things to sell from school yesterday! :banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

:grouphug:
Welcome to my world. :evil: Last year and this year mine are selling cookie dough (and not so pretty jewelry). Last year a flat donation of $20 or $25, the "prize" got them out of class to see an animal show in the gym/auditorium. This year they have to turn at least two orders and the better bargain is $15 ea. Personally, I don't believe on putting the burden of raising PTA money on the backs of my children. Add this to the five or six different cancer charities, donations for Haiti, cans, juice bags and box tops collections ...It gets a little ****ing old. I appreciate what they are going for the benefit of the school. But for those of us who are willing to donate money with out having how to figure out how to store four 3 lb tubs of cookie dough it sucks. Last year for the fundraiser alone we donated $50 total. I just feel they are figuring out a way to squeeze a few more bucks (that is taking food off of my table) from my pockets.

If we didn't have to buy something I'd be more than happy to make a flat, substantial donation. ...I just feel like they are feeling out different ways to get greedy.

</rant>

 

I am not looking forward to when this starts happening with my son. It already gets a little crazy at work with the girl scout cookies and you have to decide who to buy them from and you feel guilty if you don't buy from everyone. It just becomes more of a huge pain than any sort of worthwhile cause. Not to mention you don't want to disappoint your child if they get really excited about "winning" because depending on the age even if you explained to them that winning isn't everything they may still be pretty sore with you. Ugh.

 

its exhausting and aggravating! they have already done 3 or 4 this year!!! when does it stop! geez!!

funny......son is selling (or supposed to sell) the not so pretty jewels. in his mind he is supposed sell MY jewelry! he said this morning for me to pick out the ones i dont like so much!! LMAO!!!

 

and do people even buy the jewelry other than family members? I can only imagine what it looks like or what it costs. I mean the cookie dough I get. That gets put to good use, but ugly jewelry? Come on JoCo schools! Surely there are better products out there.

 

Another $300 + more stuff done to my car today :cry::cry::cry:

 

this is the 1st time i have seen the jewelry.....we wont sell any of it. people get tired of you peddling that crap ya know?!

 

I am disgusted with the way our government treats our seniors!

 

Yeah, ummmmm... I'm not going outside today.

 

Me neither. I've decided to scrounge up food in the office for lunch instead of going out to get something. Not only is it cold as crap, but the wind is so bad I can hear our building creaking (I'm on the 15th floor).
