Preschool fundraiser
Ladies Night Out - of a kind
so long, low on chairs
Spent twenty-five bucks
Didn't win anything at all
but got baseball cap
there were nice baskets
filled with such pricey prizes
fancy vendors too
stood for three long hours
didn't even buy paisley
lacrosse stick holder
Didn't eat either
Just had some bottled water
Not a real night out
And I think the worst part of it is I've yet to hear what the fundraiser was for. Being the slacker class mom, I haven't gone to a meeting in a while. I could never get a babysitter on the right nights. Not that I tried that hard. My life is busy enough as it is. And it's one thing to make sure Ironflower's class parties are perfect, it's another to raise money for a school where we already pay tuition.
Maybe I'm a little bitter. Our discretionary funds are small enough - to have wasted twenty-five dollars (movies! lunch out! a pedicure!) to stand around for three hours AND not have won anything (one woman won FOUR prizes, FOUR!) AND know that the school is pretty well stocked. . .it rankles a bit.
This attitude is probably something I should add to my "Reasons I'm A Bitch" list, huh?
