So I was trying to tell my 12 you that Jim Himes is cuter with glasses and she was uhhhhh no he’s not cute, ‘he’s old’.
Anyway. Anyone want a mostly housebroke tween? Comes with a large assortment of squishmellows and huge attitude. I just can’t live with that type of negativity 😂
(However she does have appreciation for Max Frost)

Our power keeps flickering. We're getting high winds and heavy rain that are supposed to turn into snow and ice in a couple of hours. Not thrilled with this at all.

It's been raining all day, we have the possibility of severe weather tonight, and we're supposed to do a cookie booth outside. There is an overhang, but I'm hoping it gets cancelled

Booth was not cancelled and DD protested when our hour was up so we ended up staying the whole 2 hrs 🥶 It was cold, rainy, and windy, and we maaaaaybe sold 60-70 boxes. A very nice guy brought us all Starbucks hot chocolate and then bought 8 boxes of cookies. A nice reminder of the good people out there!

All the Girl Scout talk made me remember my elementary years. Do they still do the sleepovers in cool places? I remember going to a Science Museum one year and another was at a mall. Would that have been a Jamboree?

Would that have been a Jamboree? I went to a science museum too and remember it being a blast. My daughter's troop is trying to earn enough to so a sleepover at the zoo as a troop so it's definitely still a thing

The science museum was the weird one to my memory. I think I slept by an exhibit but now that seems like a huge liability. I’ll have to check with my mom to see if my memory is right.

Would that have been a Jamboree? They do! A lot of museums/aquariums will do overnights for groups, though it can get pricey. We did an overnight on a tall ship in Mystic Seaport with GS in 5th grade. It was amazeballs. In High school, I did an overnight at Sea World (before I understood their serious issues). And got to sail on a tall ship in Puget Sound for a week as a Senior, which I thought was the coolest thing ever. I hope DD sticks with GS long enough to get to do those sorts of things. She’s a Daisy now, so we’re really only doing local day trips. We did a day encampment yesterday and had so much fun.

In HS I went on an international trip to the UK with GS and I really hope DD sticks with it long enough to do that. It was not widely done when I went, but our area seems to have a pretty steady plan of international trips now

I never made one of those trips, but we did do Disney as a Service Unit when I was a junior. Our council is even doing a new thing where you can earn money for trips with cookie sales that will be good for 3-5 years.

I love they still do those things. It gives such a sense of independence and confidence when kids can have these opportunities.

Yall we had the BEST Disney vacation. I completely owned Genie+ and we did back to back to back rides, checked off our entire bucket list and had lots of time to just soak up vibes. I think in 5 Park days we only waited about a total of 2.5 hours in standby queues. And the weather was great and my kids were awesome. Oh and Cosmic Rewind is BONKERS.

God bless the parent of one of N's friends at daycare, he just texted me to let me know next year's before/after county care registration starts tomorrow for the school the kids will be going to (and yet K registration isnt even open until next month). And also God bless the amazing woman at the care office I just spoke to, she walked me through everything and was AMAZING. Clearly I was not prepared.
Wish me luck lol

Yesterday my Gmail didn't show any new message notifications on my phone and I didn't realize until 10pm when I checked it before going to bed.
Luckily nothing urgent was missed but that felt nice to realize I don't need to be tuned in all day to personal email.

I hope you get in with no problem. 🤞
