I think they were also trying to get Rosie O'Donnell , I am trying & thinking maybe I will put like $5,00 away each week so I may have the money to go again when the event comes around again in California , because I had SO much fun.

IMHO, Rosie is all about the $. I hope she gets her head out of her rear and starts caring about others and not just herself.

If you don't save up enough please let me know and I'll see if we can start a fundraiser to get you there next year

I was really upset that I couldn't partake this year. My kiddos are my priority, but I'm going to make sure I'll be able to partake next year.

@ Alex Brecher you are so Awesome THANK YOU , but I think I may be able to get it in time I really hope so , so I can go again , I just thought I would ask do the Wlsfa always do these in San Diego in California , I know they do them in other areas & States or at least I think so , & I truly understand , my children are my everything & my family is first so I get it as I am a single parent .

I had some major plans for WLSFA but I put them all on the backburner for my kiddos. Next year I'm going to dedicate 2X my time and energy and pray we'll be able to participate in a very meaningful way.
