06/10/2005 Archived Entry: "so much to tell"

I have tons to talk about, but rather than do a lot of posts, I'm just going to break this down and give topic headers.

*Daisy's (as in Girl Scouts, not my child)*

I'm going to start with the negative here so that I can end the post on a positive. Today was Tabitha's last Daisy meeting. The girls received all their patches that they supposedly earned throughout the year. How eating pizza and making a foam craft constitutes earning patches, I'll never know. Here's the thing, the meeting was no different. Parents weren't supposed to stay, there was no ceremony for having earned their petals. Nothing. This whole experience has basically sucked from the very beginning when I started my quest to find a troop for my daughter. They did not do the bridging ceremony to Brownies, they didn't do anything! I'm so disappointed in the whole affair. My kid doesn't know any different and I know she enjoyed just about everything, but it saddens me knowing how much she missed out on all that should have happened.

*Daisy (this time I mean the baby)*

Guess who has a little razor tooth in her mouth? It wasn't there yesterday as I check almost every day for something but tonight my mil found the sharp ridge. It may explain her mood yesterday but I hope not because that means there's more of that to come, lol. I cannot wait until it's popped through more and can catch it on film...I mean memory stick.

*The Day*

We took Chris to work this morning because of the aforementioned Daisy meeting and we knew Chris wouldn't be home in time due to his working different hours at a different location again. I did more than review with Tabitha today. I put out her logic books, Solar System book and added a book on time and money. So she did those plus writing whatever she wanted and she worked on flash cards again. That concludes review since the ho'ike is tomorrow and we'll go back to regular lessons on Tuesday.

I took Tabitha to Daisy's, then came home for roughly half an hour then headed back to pick up Tabitha and out to get Chris from work. It made zero sense to come home at that point due to the time so we had dinner at Chili's with a waitress that didn't get the concept of service then headed to my in-laws' where I got Tabitha ready and then Chris took her to hula in a borrowed car while I came home with Daisy who decided she had had enough of the car today. Boy-howdy! did that child wail. I felt so bad, especially because she basically cried herself to sleep. I hate when she does that, it makes me so sad. She's still sleeping and I'm debating whether or not I should wake her. She's actually kind of waking right now, but she stuck her thumb into her mouth and is trying to go back to sleep. We'll see what transpires.
