September is such an expensive month. Back to school supplies, new clothes and shoes, registration for extracurricular activities and all the paraphernalia/equipment that comes with that, it certainly adds up. Worse than December it seems.
I'm sitting here at my desk gazing at this stack of papers. A stack that really irks me.
A stack of what you're thinking?
Fund raisers.
Why is it that everywhere you register they bombard you with fund raisers? Between the kids' 2 schools, gymnastics, badminton, hockey and 2 dance schools, I'm faced with a multitude of vending options: the ubiquitous chocolate bars, cookies and muffins, magazine subscriptions, cards and wrapping paper, gas coupons, labels, calendars, Christmas cards and decorations, tea and coffee, golf tournaments, walkathons for CHEO and Cancer research. Will I be harassing my neighbor and friends and family with all of this? Most probably not. I'm not comfortable with sending the kids door to door. I may approach a few people perhaps. Ultimately, I usually end up giving a contribution myself.
Want to buy something from me?

I'll buy.
Now - you want a Caramilk bar from my kids?
LOL! I was going to say the same thing. I usually just end up buying them myself and not bother anyone with them. Sigh there is a lot.
on the bright side, think how fab you'll be feeling, mainlining all that chocolate X
