girl scouts...

So, I'm taking my scouts camping for the first time! I'm truly excited and nervous at the same time! I took the overnight outdoor training and learned to cook in the coolest ways! We are going to make our own firestarters and box ovens. I think my girls will love the experience and have a great time! I hope all goes according to plan! Please pray for no rain!

jealousy...

Ok so I'm talking with some female coworkers at lunch the other day and we get on the topic of all the actvities our children are involved in. School has just started and already the fall PTA fundraiser has been sent home. Not to mention, girl and boy scouts started, ballet, and after school intramurals. I tell them that I love my slow cooker for for preparing meals in the morning so dinner is done when we get home. Granted I am one of the few part time workers in my office. A comment was made that well at least I have the time in the morning to set up my slow cooker, as they arev schlepping their uncooperating babies around to day care before work starts. Not for nothing, but I work my ass off in the office and at home. My kids come home to me being there, checking homework and involved in ALL their activies! To me, this is just another example of jealousy. I know they are physically in the office 3 more hours per day than I am, but iI will trump them in that I am a dedicated, involved and reliable parent! Don't worry baby, Mommy's here!
