Pajama Day

Since we live in TX, little bit goes to Pre-K all day every day at the regular elementary school down the road. The PTA has decided for a fundraiser that every Wednesday in October would be "dress up" day if the kids pay a dollar. So the first Wednesday was "funky hat" day, then "funky shoe" day and tomorrow is "funky pj" day. The other days I honestly forgot about, but the little bit came home and reminded me today what tomorrow is. Now I have to go out and buy new pajama's just so she can wear them to school tomorrow. Somebody please explain this to me! To be fair, she has plenty of pj's at home, but they're all night dresses and I can't/won't send her to school in those! So not only do I have to buy new pj's I also have to send her in with a dollar. Not to mention that they are doing the regular fundraiser stuff AND they had fundraiser night at Chick-fil-A. How much money does an elementary school need??? I think what really bothers the hubs and I are the dues to get into the PTA. When did it start costing money to get into the PTA??? We're not poor, or broke, or barely scraping by, and the reason we're not is because we're frugal with our money. Somehow having to pay to have an input on my child's education just seems outright ridiculous to me. To top it off, if you're a member of the PTA you get "benefits" from local shops. The question that comes to my mind is "Why don't you just have the shops donate money to the school???" Seriously, come on now, don't you think that you would get more money that way? It just aggravates me to no end! Ok, rant over. 

The hubs is now gone for two weeks, so little bit and I are on our own. Can you say par-tay? Oh, wait... yeah, no. I'm starting to get sick because of the absurd weather changes. Somebody help! 

I went to the Dr. today and it's time to start losing weight, so now I'm on a diet. I love to bake, and having to cut out sugar from my diet just might kill me. I'm always up for a challenge though, so I guess it's time to start experimenting with healthier ingredients. Carrot cake, zucchini break, and other healthy snacks will start being whipped up in my kitchen (although I think I'll continue to sneak in some not so healthy options on occasion!) Wish me luck please, as I think I'm going to need it. 

I guess it's time to hop off of here and start doing my homework now, have a good day everybody!
