Why Can’t I Just Say “No” to the Silent Auction?




By David Antis

This past weekend was marked by the yearly event my dd school host – A Silent Auction. Each year we think about going. This year we even bought tickets and had childcare set up. So did we go? The answer is Nope.

To be honest I really never want to go to events like this. My dh on the other hand wanted to go and I was willing to give it a go.  As the time ticked toward the auction on Saturday I began dreading going.  I started trying to come up with an excuse to beg out of the event. Finally, when 5:30pm rolled around I was resigned that I needed to put my big girl undies on and suck it up and go. That's when our ds came down with a fever.

Now I would never wish for my ds to be sick, but I will admit that I was super jazzed not to go!
