Hi my name is MOM oh wait my birth-name is Alexis. These days it's MOM and yes that's right it comes out at a level higher then a scream! I have 2 very active boys. Hope you enjoy the wacky world I call life between working full time and taking care of the 3 boys (that includes my husband).
I spent so many years volunteering and people don't realize (well, you do) what a tough gig it is. Plus putting out money for supplies up front is not fun!
What a wonderful job you did. I would not do it again. You did your part and now should move on to other things. I hope you do not sign up again. I do not like to see you work so hard and then others are way too rude to you. They are lucky I do not live close by. Have a great weekend.
Wow....and you worked so hard. I'd help in a minute if I were closer, but we are on the other sides of the country from each other...I did one volunteer thing once and it ended up this way. Money out of MY pocket, no shows and childish crap. Have a great day!
This doesn't seem real. Are you kidding me, they are acting like they are back in HS. Please don't do it again and I pray that someone comes through with recognition of your hard work. God know the truth and I guess that is all the matters.
I'm sorry you've had such a rough time...it's hard to imagine that people are giving you trouble after you've went through all the work to get this together! I hope it all works out in the end and it's a great time! :-)
I'm with Tracie... what you do has not gone unseen! I'm also with the other ladies and you damn sure know that if I was closer, I would be ther first one in line to help you and would be there every day with my marker in hand to color and my checkbook in hand. I know that all the kids will have a great time and that will be SO worth it. Big hugs!!
Whew! Doesn't say much about their character since its a CHURCH carnival, huh? Maybe they should listen a little harder during the sermons rather then the gossip?
Hugs! I always wonder at people who expect martyrdom for doing what they signed up for... I'm sorry that you had so many bad experiences with one event and hope you find a new outlet for your volunteering talents :)
