How busy can one family get?

Morgan started Daisy scouts. And I'm knee deep already! I'm the Cookie Mom this year. WHAT??!! I'm officially crazy. I'll be taking care of all the ordering, money, planning show and sells, huh?? what was I thinking? I'm a little crazed about the whole thing. Why do I always jump in with both feet? Why do I feel like I have to be in the middle of everything? Whose curse is this?



Sorry. I'm calmer now. I think Daisys is going to be good for Morgan. Morgan has trouble with letting her friends do things their way, or by themselves. hmmm...sound familiar? So I'm hoping that this group environment will help her to learn that everyone has an opinion and you need to let everyone have their turn. My whole problem with that statement, is that Morgan is like me. It takes her two seconds to see graphically in her mind, the best path to follow to attain a goal. So while all these mealy little kids around her are trying over and over again and restarting, she's already most of the way to the answer. I'm going to assume that's a good thing and foster it. Definitly going to figure out how to keep the school and groups from squashing it.



How could you do anything but protect this?

Chelle, I just read this and...well, to be truthful, it brought me to tears. Not sure why, but how you expressed your pride and fears just really hit a cord with me. Love, Mom

You are crazy! Daisy scouts??? I have yet to let the girls jump into that one. They are in after school activities at least 2 nights a week already. I like this site. It's great to keep up with you guys. I miss ya tons and think of you often.
