Ahhhh, I don't know what to do!
So about a week or so ago, I decided to let the pageant thing go. It sounds really fun, but it is becoming such a stress. Finding the time and support to work on the platform has been impossible. Finding the money...are you kidding me. I feel like how can I ask businesses to donate money when economic times are so bad. It feels like pulling teeth. If I was rich and could cover the cost myself ,then sure, I'm all about doing it, but that's just not the case. I was, and am, really excited about getting to know these girls. I'm prepared to let it go, but in the back of my mind, there is a part of me that still wants to see it through. So many people know I am doing this and I don't want to be a quiter. I just don't know what to do???? Plus, I've already invested a lot in a gown. I'm really struggling, can you tell.

Lindsay,
Is there a way to do the pageant and not spend any more money? If you've the dress, and the platform, is it possible to do it just to do and have fun with it? (no more stress, just go have fun?) I see no reason why you would have to keep up the Jones, (and I totally understand what you mean). I don't think the pageant is designed to be that way. If you can't do it and not stress over it, then I say don't do it! Well, gotta run, have a nice weekend. Good luck!
I think less stress = good. :o) But always do what you want! If there's a will, then there's a way to do it.
Ps - If you want a Baby Bjorn, they have one on sale at babycenter.com for $48.00. And if you use the code "SHOPPING" then you can get free shipping. So a brand-new Baby Bjorn for $48 total! That is a screaming deal! Thought you might be interested!
Hey Lindsay!
Holy cow! I have felt the same way! Just before the Christmas break, I decided that the pageant was definitely a "no go." I just NEEDED to feel like my plate was cleared of everything that a pageant tends to heap up onto it! Then, I couldn't push it out of my head, and I was the same way - I really really want to spend quality time getting to know other AMAZING women...so I'm in. (and have ALL of the same problems!) I need sponsors, time, energy, ...you name it, but hopefully it will all come. Have you decided anything for sure?
About the Love Swap, children's clothes would be great and very appreciated! email me at ldugovic@yahoo.com and we can talk there. I am dying to know what you've decided about the pageant. You sound SO MUCH LIKE ME!
