I went to a scout district council meeting last night. Interesting stuff. More politics there than at work. Then again it is a weird mixture of paid and volunteers. Oh, let’s not forget the ‘good ol’ boys’. Mix well and you get very interesting politics. Seems there is one paid person that is being ‘difficult’ and not passing information on to the rest of the packs and troops. Did you catch that… one of the paid personnel… Yaa, I think it’s time to get rid of said paid person. Seriously. Our pack and others missed a fun event because this person decided not to share the information and have it email blasted out. It was amazing how the forces divided on this one and the political game that occurred. Yep. I can’t wait until the next event and see if we get something or not. Just happy that I am not involved in any activities county wide that would need to go through our district council right now.

Take that along with the coach and I having issues at swimming and I’m ready to drop all activities for my kids and just hide under a rock. Ok, not really. But it does make for an interesting life and really really forces me to be an adult. Sucks. I want to be the childish one occasionally.

My heart stops when I remember how he was a little dude compared to now. He has become the sweetest young man. He tries so hard. He has a difficult road in front of him but I know he will succeed. Just being a mom makes it hard to watch. I’m just glad he is my child.

My youngest is playing the piano. He now is deciding whether to take up the trumpet, sax or guitar. *blink*. Hmmm… which way should I suggest he go? Which will be least annoying… the answer is…

Yaa, I don’t have an answer. It will be whatever he wants to play. Guess I’ll be finding another music instructor for the summer. Shoot me!

He said all those people made him nervous at first. But it was ok after a while. What a great thing for the teacher to do. To get the kids in front of over 900 people while every one still cheers for them and makes them feel good to be on stage.

Here he is singing:

Both my boys are growing up… sigh…

The Dog ch. 4

It was evident that when we got home that her mother was sick. We threw away rubbish items. We made crockery for her. In the cup was an elixir to make her feel better. The jar was very delicate. We gave her a spacious room to sleep in. The room was almost as big as an auditorium! We were the proprietors of the jar of elixir.

The dog Ch. 3

The rain stopped but water still came out of the gutter. She decided to take me for a walk because the weather was suitable. It felt marvelous when we went out for a walk. We walked by Publix and one of the things we read on the sign for sale was nougats. The next thing we saw for sale on the sign was toffee. We also found out there were some crescent shaped sandwich cutters for sale. I looked at the sign suspiciously, it looked like a cat scratched it. The scratches were on the enamel part of the sign. I spotted the cat in the corridor between the two stores. Then I found something practical in the cat’s mouth, a dog food can. I took her to the cat and got the dog food and we walked home.

The Dog

One day a dog named Sam had huge potential that he would be bought. But at an annual sale, Melinda bought Carl, the cat. The next year I thought Christy was rummaging for me, but she really bought Ryan, the fish. So the next month I used my puppy eyes but Lisa bought Sara, the hamster in a package deal. Then I figured out why no one would buy me, I was to expensive. But I actually saw Helen walking toward me. Helen politely asked if she could keep me and the shop owner said “yes.” When she opened the door to the vestibule I darted to her room.
