Well, the packing is about 90% done. We almost finished packing the kitchen, the bedroom and the office area. It helps that some of our stuff was already packed as I was getting ready to re-organize my house and possibly send stuff to storage. So this weekend is the big move weekend. It should be fairly easy as we are planning to move stuff on Wednesday and Friday before the weekend. Saturday I am hoping to only move a few things then clean the old place and still take my daughter out trick-or-treating. I will keep you guys updated.
With all of this change going on, I am a little saddened. It looks like my daughter's Girl Scout troop will be disbanding. The last few meetings we haven't had any one attend. When I called to make sure the girls were alright, the parents tell me that their daughters aren't attending because they are being overwhelmed with homework. Although I am moving, I was planning on staying on till the end of the year so that the girls could finish their bronze award, however with no one showing up, It is not financially feasible for me to continue with the troop as their leader. Our Co-leader also does not want to take over as leader either. So it seems that disbanding is our only option. Although we can't technically disband for a few months due to fall product sales, I am encouraging the parents to have their daughters switch to Juliette Girl Scouts. This will allow the girls to still be Girl Scouts, particpate in events and work on their badges and awards but they do it on their own time. If later on they decide to join another troop, they will be able to. I'm going to really miss those girls. Some of them I have known for 3 years. Yes, I am a little saddened by this.
Its hard. I feel happy with the move but saddend by the troop disbanding. But as life goes, with some happiness there is sometimes saddness as well.
Hope you all enjoy your Tuesday and have a great week!!!
