Annual Orearville Chili Supper

Last night was the famous "Orearville Chili Supper". This is a supper that is put on by the PTO and is the major fundraiser of the year. For this reason, I always feel the need to do my part, as I am both a teacher and a parent at this wonderful little school. The question that crops up in my head each year is, how do other parents think this supper happens? Do they ever stop and wonder:
How collects all the BINGO prizes?
Who sets up the BINGO game?
Who shops for all the supplies?
Who sets up all the tables and chairs?
Who decorates the gym?
Who makes the soup?
Who makes the chili?
Who prepares the drinks?
Who makes all those delicious desserts?
Who sends all those cakes for the "cake walk"?
Who washes all those dishes?
Who puts all those tables and chairs up?
Who cleans the gym floor?
Who gets there at 9:00am and walks out at 10:30pm?
Let me answer these questions... it's NOT you! It's us busting our a**es, while you are sitting on YOURS playing BINGO! (winning all the prizes that we collected!)
Glad I got that off my chest.
Hope everyone has a splendid week!
