The problem with Girl Scouts....

My kids are only allowed to do one activity at a time. Now that soccer is over my two girls have decided that scouting is now their thing. Can I just say UGH? I am in no way making fun of those that are in scouting. It's a wonderful activity. It just doesn't do anything for me. Let's all be honest here....don't you sort of whine (quietly to yourself at night) when your child decides that the thing they are "into" is something that really doesn't excite you? I did this same whining when my kids decided to play soccer. I took them to every practice (whining...of course, quietly) and every game. We brought snacks....we DID the soccer thing. And now ? I love it. What a wonderful sport for kids to get into at a young age. Okay...but I'm off track. Back to scouting...... I was a sports girl. Volleyball was MY thing. My girls went to their first meeting last night. All the way...you guessed it...I was whining to my inner self. I was thinking of all the other ways I could spend the evening with my girls (hot chocolate? painting our nails? going to the bookstore?). We walked in and instantly my 6 yr old had a new best friend and my 8 yr old really enjoyed herself. Okay...I say to myself.....give it time. It might just turn out to be more than a giant playdate with snacks...
