Help...I'm Drowning

We're two weeks into school and I am drowning in fundraisers. It's actually a little ridiculous. Here's the list...

Jacob-Baseball Golf Tournament (must sign up a foursome and get 1 hole sponsor)
Jacob-Booster Club Memberships
Jacob-Chicken Tenders and Beef Brisket (must sell 10)
Jacob-Entertainment Books
Jared-Marathon Game Pledges
Gabe-Cookie Dough Sale

I mean, come on, can one family actually sell this much stuff and still have family members, neighbors and co-workers that will still speak to you?

I'm thinking the answer to that is "no". One family can't do that, and what we all need to learn to say. So, we will be over in a few weeks to enjoy a dinner of brisket and cookie dough, before the golf tournament! I'll bring the cookie dought that we have to buy over for dessert! Good luck and happy selling!

Hey DS, whats going on? How's the bike? Did you ever change the oil, tires,brake fluid,give it a tune up, and adjust the valves? Do you still have my helmet? I don't really need it back any time soon. Just making sure you haven't hocked it on ebay or anything. I'm sure it would fetch a hefty price if you could prove it was mine. I don't have your email and since this blog is no longer active I figured I would correspond this way.

yeah i did change the oil, tires, and such. bikes running good, got 35k on it now. haven't pawned the helmet yet but was gonna fancy it up by adding one of those fresh mohawks to the top of it before I got it back to you. who needs an email address when you have an unmoderated, unattended blog to defile. speaking of defile, it's about time for me to head up north in a month, or have Don and Martha realized we are too much alike to have in the same house at the same time???

Mohawked helmet why didn't I think of that? Then you can put matching fur on the the bike, and maybe some neon lighting. Maybe even some fancy chromed out spinners. It'll look squidtastic. Are you gonna try to get up here? I was wondering about that but hadn't gotten around to calling you about it.

I'm setting up a pool to see when the blog will get updated. You can double shock if you pick the day google actually shuts it down from the moderator being MIA...We'll be choosing weeks as our picks. $0.50 per square. I think the odds will be good...somethin like 50/50.

I'll check about dates. I'm pretty open. However my secretary retired so until I replace her I can't leave the office early or take time off. Parents are out of town till Sunday so I'll check w/them when they get back. You'll need to check w/your bro as well, not sure if they are coming or when.
