If I put my thoughts in bullet points does it look less rambly?
- Hockey season is over. And I already regret it being over because now we are in baseball/soccer season which means muddy clothes and lack of climate control. (At least with hockey, I know I'm always going to be cold and won't be sitting outside in the pouring rain.)
- Stupid time change.
- Emily and Kelly scratched the van's paint with rocks on Saturday. There are stars and swirls and scribbles all over it. Greg's handling the "mad" parent part and I'm sad that my van looks like crap now (I haven't even hit anything, no dings or paint scrapes!). I'm still not over the "why" Emily thought this was a good idea either (Kelly followed her lead, we have witnesses). Emily is starting to worry me, this "acting out" is getting out of hand and I don't know the real reason behind it. But that's another post for another day.
- I'm fighting a serious lack of motivation. And writer's block.
- I'm going camping with other Girl Scout leaders/volunteers this weekend. (They didn't cancel the training on Wednesday.) I'm undecided on how I feel about this. A night away from the house will be nice but I'll be with perfect strangers (I'm so not a people person). Plus it's not even camping, we'll be in cabins. (As a family, we always tent camp.) I'm going to have to watch myself and not sound like a know-it-all since I've been camping with kids a bazillion times. But the cool thing in the planning session was how everyone volunteered to do everything. I think part of it was because as Girl Scout leaders, we are used to doing everything ourselves in the first place. Sharing the workload was a nice change.
- Giving up chocolate for Lent and "that time of the month" do not go well together. Especially when Girl Scouts were selling Thin Mints at the out of town hockey rink. (I bought some anyways and hid them from the kids.) Yes, even with the cases of cookies we personally bought back in the fall, we were out.
- I need to take the trash out but it's cold outside again (36 F, 3C).
- What's for dinner tonight at your house? (We had beef stew Saturday, meatloaf and mashed potatoes last night.)
- Did I mention the lack of motivation? Which sucks cause that's a warning sign of the beginning of depression for me. Or maybe I'm over reacting and being unmotivated for a day is just a by product of doing and expecting too much of myself. I kinda need something to look forward to that doesn't involve so much work to plan that it cancels out the "looking forward to" part.
