So, that wasn't good.

I had to leave work because I was so stressed out about the girl scout meeting yesterday, and walked home sobbing.  Then I successfully managed to nap while roofers were working on the back porch.  (Since I'd been up since 4:30 am worrying about girl scouts.)

Of course, the meeting was fine.

So, on the list of things that can reduce me to gibbering idiocy?
1.  Dentists
2.  Girl Scouts

Okay, besides the incredibly annoying lack of institutional support, can you pin down what it is about Girl Scouts that gets to you? Would you be feeling similarly if the same girls were just coming over to your house to play?

I will admit to taking a very half-assed laid-back approach to meeting planning, especially when the weather's bad and we can't do science/nature stuff outside. One week I brought a CD player and a bunch of different styles of music (disco, ballet, and South African music) and we had a dance party. Another week I brought face paints and we just painted on each other for an hour and a half. Are they learning anything? Who knows. But they're having fun, so hopefully they'll stick around to work with some more motivated leader in the older grades.

Hon, this may be a sign it's time to draw the whole Girl Scouts episode to a close.

I know that when C. and I started doing stuff like that around church, we decided to stop going, and I must say, while I miss the worship I do not miss the waking up at 3 am with my stomach in knots.
