2-for-1

Thursday and Friday were green smiley days, with little else to report.

Thursday was School Night at Kate's Skating Rink... the school gets a percentage of sales, so they obviously encourage parents to take their children. They do so by convincing the whole class that they, and all their awesome little friends, will get to go to [enter business name here] together and play and have a wonderful time.

Frankly, it pisses me off. I understand it's much needed income for the school, but it's unfair to spend so much time getting my child's (and everyone else's) hopes up about going skating, eating ice cream, or pizza, or going ice skating, or whatever other activity it is that week.We're barely scraping by, we're barely keeping the power on and keeping the rent paid, we can't afford to do some weekly thing that costs us a fortune - we have a family of 5, do the math ok?

BUT I AM SICK TO DEATH OF BREAKING HER HEART ONCE A WEEK BECAUSE I HAVE TO SAY NO!!!!!
