I’ve done it again. The teen wants to go on that French tour next year. Another friend’s mom, Yvonne, and I decided that we should organise something to raise some funds. Now we are organising a fundraising event in two week’s time. And we are seriously worrying about getting all the seats sold to be able to pay back the hosting company. Why, oh why, don’t we learn?
Note to self: when toddler comes home with letters from the school to tick, or with open spaces to put my name in... Don’t do it! Take a deep breath. Let the guilt (parents are supposed to help out at school-guilt) pass! I don’t have to say yes to all, especially since I am a working mom.
We thought it was a good idea to identify a venue and show. I still think it is... Not the extra worries of organising and setting up a venue, or having to pay for the entertainment. We only have to worry about selling the tickets. Now we find it is hard enough to sell all the tickets.
Barnyard Theatre at Cresta Mall in Johannesburg is currently running Super Troupers, a musical show of Abba, the Bee Gees and the 70s. What are you doing the 17th of September? Please support us!
Ah, the reluctant volunteer... I'm one too. I just can't seem to help myself. I have to help. It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteHope you get all those seats filled with happy people. x
That is proof that we will don ANYTHING for our children. But have you noticed that it is always the same mommy's doing the work. Makes you think, does'nt it.
ReplyDeleteMother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.
ReplyDeleteYou sound very busy - good luck with everything and I'n no volunteer. Don't like anything school related.
