Simply Wednesday

I did it! I finished writing the grant proposal for Giselle, and just in the nick of time. Our deadline is tomorrow.

I'm not a happy person when I put things off like that. I don't even know why I was struggling so much with it. Once I sat down by myself... alone... with everyone in bed but me... it didn't take all that long. I remember a couple of specific times today when I was trying to listen to and participate in 4 conversations at once. Sometimes I feel like my head is going to explode.

I had my first experience as a den leader today (I almost wrote den mother; that's a blast from the past). We only had 3 little guys there and Sport, our brand new Den Chief. The other leader had prepared a campfire and we made s'mores and told stories. Yeah, I know, it's February. There were piles of snow 18 inches high around the area where she had set the fire pit, but one of our boys needed this last little requirement to earn his Wolf Badge before he turned 9. So we made it happen.

Fortunately, I don't have to plan a meeting until the 3rd Wednesday of the month and that will be AFTER the wedding is over. Drama Queen made an amazing video for us to play at the wedding. I know she linked it up on YouTube, but it is private, so I don't think I can share it with you, but I will ask her.

Tomorrow.

When I'm not sitting here in my office... alone... dozing over my keyboard.

I remember moments when I was in four or five conversations at once and yes, I got a headache. The peace to do a project usually was best after everyone was in bed. I am happy for you that you finished this. I don't know how you do it and get a wedding together. Just amazing! Hugs!
