Oh, my dears, we are right in the middle of the 'ber months, and like all basic bitches, I am thrilled.
October goals:
Read my Book the Month back ups (all of these, plus the new John Green that's on it's way)
Pick apples
Visit the pumpkin patch
Make my holiday gift wish list
Buy at least 2 gifts each for Harry, Jack, and Cooper
Clean out the big storage room in the basement
Set up Jack's room for Harry and Jack (Move beds from Coop's room. Move a bed from our room to Coop's room. Sell existing beds in the room on Marketplace. Buy a new mattress so the beds from Cop's room will match in height. Clean out bookshelves so each kid has one. Get a matching IKEA dresser? Empty closet)
Decorate for fall, I do not really want to do this because I am feeling overwhelmed by clutter, but Minnie is ALL IN.
Wow, that bedroom project is a month of goals in and of itself!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was a Girl Scout for 10 years and loved it. We took turns being the troop leader, though the co-leaders that started it were in charge for the first maybe 5 years, then they got burned out and passed it on. It’s a lot of work, I’m sorry that there isn’t another troop she can join so it wouldn’t mean more on your plate. (I mean, it looked like a lot of work to me, finding out about the requirements, registering with your local counsel, figuring out badges and activities…maybe you can find another parent to co-chair with you?)
My kid loved being a Girl Scout! You will be a wonderdul troop leader. I kind of can't wait to hear about your adventures!
ReplyDeleteMy two girls are in Girl Scouts and they love it! For my youngest last year she was a Juliette, which is like an independent Girl Scout. She was still able to complete badges on her own, participate in council wide events, sell cookies and go to summer camp but was not part of a troop. I have 6 kids and just could not swing another anything last year. It might be something to ask your council about because making a troop is a lot and if there's other Juliette families you can buddy up without all the extra work.
ReplyDeleteOnly you would find yourself starting a Girl Scout troop! I am surprised, I thought that would be something you could just...join. I don't know how it works, obviously.
ReplyDeleteWell, you obviously have nothing else to do, so why not start a Girl Scout troop? Hahahahaha... you deserve another gold medal for this.
ReplyDeletei love October too! My fall decorations are up and I'm drinking out of my fall mugs. Also, our weather has not been... good, or fall-ish, but we've been getting a lot of rain so it does feel kind of cozy inside. I don't appreciate the dark mornings though! One more month till we turn the clocks back.
If my kid wanted to join a scout troop and there wasn't one, I'd be like "whelp, sorry honey." But with my travel/work schedule I could not add another thing! I'm already over capacity. It is generous of you to start a troop, though!
