Miss Calculation

I'm so mad at myself!

First off our walk is tomorrow and I was trying to raise $2,500 for the We CARA Lot team and secondly I am not a math person.

So I have been doing all the fundraising and organizing for the We CARA Lot team and calculating my total donation amounts the whole time that I have been raising the money. Last night I was so excited that I reached my goal of $2,500 for the walk, but then my husband looked at the numbers. So it seems that I have missed calculated my total by $500. OMG I was so disappointed, I counted two $250 donations twice. I was so upset with myself and it got me really down and feeling like a total failure and I was ready to give up! My husband said we can do this, we can reach your goal. So I started sending out more emails and posted this on Facebook
"Last chance to donate to the We CARA Lot team!! I only need $000.00 more to get to my goal of $2,500.00....anyone? http://jdrfca.donordrive.com/team/wecaralot Thank you to everyone who has donated to us it really means a lot! xoxox" and every hour I would update it with the total amount that I needed. Now I only need $100....I hope I make it!! But I'm still very frustrated with my counting ability.
