Suffice it to say the GS trip was pretty rough. The leaders are all tired of the girls (not just me). The age gap between our Brownies (kiddy garten) and Juniors (mostly 11 going on 30) becomes more and more apparent. The kids feel compelled to come on the camping trip even when they aren’t excited about camping just because it’s something the troop is doing, so they vacillate bewteen being bored, hyper and fighting with each other all weekend. Add all that to substantial amounts of hormones and it was a very tense trip. Good thing Tiernen was there or I’m sure I would have done someone an injury.
So, I’m trying to NICELY get out of being involved with them next year. I said they could keep me on as a consultant, but with Phil coming back to work, I’d have to work more evenings, so I didn’t want them counting on me to be there and then having to back out because of work issues. But…they…keep…trying..to…pull…me…back…in *gasp* I’m TRYING to say “no”. Honestly.
On the home front, cleaning and trying to get some summer projects done.
