OMG super frustrated parent

So it’s been forever since I blogged or anything, and last week I decided that I was going to be positive and thankful when I did post….HOWEVER I have always stood by the belief that life isn’t fair, but overall “right is right and wrong is wrong” and that sometimes you have to voice your opinion. I try to NOT say anything about politics or personal beliefs of others because ultimately EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinions….BUT today I read something that I am so darn angry about I am not even sure where to begin, or who I need to complain too…so I am posting this here for opinions.



Yesterday I received the little one’s fund raiser info home, and although its always excessively expensive I try to participate, and none of us have the money, but I can usually buy less of something to get buy. Anyway we get the CATALOG and all of us know that the stuff is always overpriced, but hey it’s a fundraiser, and with a kid in college I planned on just getting all the junk food and sending it in a care package to his suite. So grabbing a pen to make my list, I notice this little label that had been affixed to the front of the catalog that said
Now let me first say I so support this wellness program at the school, and we do try to eat better than crap at home, but are you kidding me who the heck does this.

· First off get a brochure that I am not restricted in,


· Second DO NOT try and enforce your policy AT school IN MY HOME.





Finally guess what gang, there are more fat people than skinny in today’s society, so just restricting chocolate and junk is not going to make us skinny. How about instead of telling the kids NO CHOCOLATE, how about we increase gym/PE time, and do constructive exercise programs within the education day. I can think that the perfect way for kids to learn to count would be jumping jacks. Ya know what ever happened to the Presidential Fitness Awards that those of us from my generation strived to get (only once for me….I kind of stunk at some of those exercises LOL) but still it was a big deal in our day with a certificate and a patch. Jump rope for your heart was required not optional….yes even for those of us who can’t jump rope LOL.


Anyway, I am truly not sure who I need to forward this too, I hate to raise a ruckus at the school, but come on really. Am I wrong?

That label is just one of the "little steps" taken that lead even so closer to a socialistic mindset! People complain about things like that, but rarely do they speak to the point they are heard. Good to see you continue to have a voice...more people need to speak out, then up. It is only getting worse. On this specific incident, I would start with the principal...they are the ones to approve functions.

OMG!!! Seriously!!??!! They can't possibly send home a brochure, and then tell you you can't buy certain stuff in it...I don't think you need to complain! Just Boycott!!!!!I hate fundraisers, but thought I would help out with concessions or something on the booster club. But then I found out the Boosters are all about raising money! LMBO...I have no money, and am not a sales person!
