So last night was the first movie night at the church. I can honestly say I had a good time.
We eat dinner there, green eggs, blue and red pancakes and sausage. Then we watched Freaky Friday in the chapel. That was a first for me, i've never watched a movie with the screen right next to the pulpit before, it was fun!!
Afterwards we split up in to adult/teen and kids. The adults did a short (20 minute) class on active listening and the kids did freaky science experements.
They will be doing the Wizard of Oz next month, can't wait since I can get even the hubby to that one!!

Cookie Time
It's started. It is finally here. Girl Scout Cookies.
We pressure the girls to go out and sell these wonderful tasting cookies, nevermind that we don't want to eat them becuase the are just too good to have only one, I mean really I can't just have an open box at the house, it will be gone before you can say Girl Scouts.
So this year we have a new council. 18 counties worth of scouts all trying for cookie booths in the same 18 counties at the same time. Add to this the fact that there are no booths at the local mall this year and you get very slim pickings for our county!!
My troop averages 12 booths a year. It's how most of the girls get their boxes sold. This year I have us signed up for 10, probably won't get them all, which is fine if I can still do the booth during voting day and the Lent fish fry. Ya know it's getting harder to sell these things with so few places allowing booths and the price going up.
Oh well what can you do....

Batteries and strep
Today we bring you....
How to get a new car battery.
Step 1 have a child complain about a sore throat for 2 days. (started after the bball game we lost)
Step 2 Actually look at child's throat and see white spots and swollen glands.
Step 3 try and find an urgent care in the area so you aren't paying $150 to sit in an ER for 6 hours
Step 4 find a place called MinuteClinic that closes at 4pm, about 2 hours from now7
Step 5 get everyone dressed and ready to go
Step 6 (this is the important part) Try and start the car and hear click, click, click...
Step 7 call for help!!

Pep Rally
Ok to start with we no longer have 1 4-5 grade b-ball team. We have 3. The oldest is not happy because she's not on the same team as her bff, but atleast her other bff is on her team so it's not SOOO bad.
So the games were today. Totally not ready for it. Team C lost to LAGS something like 10 to 20 or some other horible score. They were really, really good. It didn't help that we had only 1 practice with the "new" team lineups. But now we know how they play so we will be practicing to their style.
Oh did I mention that they only have 1 team that is not from our school? That's right the team A, team B, team C and LAGS. Needless to say this is going to be an interesting bball season.
Later.

poems and such
So I was reading a friend's blog today ans she was talking about her hubby's poems. That got me to thinking of the stuff that I use to write. Talk about morbid (my stuff). Death, rape, abuse and all sorts of other nasty stuff. It's amazing I turned out normal...
I looked through the writings from back then... I can't even bring myself to typing any of them on here they are so bad. Major rabbling of a teenage mind. Kind of like this blog is my rabbling of a 30something mind.
