We couldn’t have picked a worse day for our fundraiser – weather wise. It was cold and damp out all day. I do think it had something to do with the amount of traffic we saw. It didn’t help that my oldest got sick and couldn’t come to help us out. I really believe a lot of people just can’t say no to a kid, and she rakes in the donations! She was so disappointed. In the end, we collected $352, so $176 for each of us. We got several donations of $20 from people, including one guy who whipped out his checkbook on the spot and wrote a check for us.
We stuck it out for 4 hours and then I came home to a nice hot shower – but I’m still shivering. (Hope I’m not getting the bug that Catherine has!) Jim is going out tonight to watch Ultimate Fighting at a friends house, so I’m going to watch my shows and snuggle on the couch with Lola.
