Okay, so the pic of Nathan is from Thursday. He decided he needed to do his hair as a mohawk. So I hauled out all my hair goop, explained the different ones, and he said he could do himself. I made the mistake of leaving the room...... (Note to self - supervise next time.) He had taken a huge blob of hair 'glue' and glopped it on the crown of his head, and it was hardening before he could shape it into the mohawk. Lots of 'crap!' on both our parts. He starts trying to wet his hair down, and I'm trying to comb the extra out. He rolled off on his scooter to school, and I worried that he would be teased. He came home without any tales of woe, so I'm guessing it was okay. Eric was appalled that I let him go to school like that.
I'm now the treasurer for the cub scout pack. Wheeeeee. The old one passed everything over to me and said that by her tally we have $300 or so in the bank, but the bank statement says we have $600. And she hasn't kept all the receipts. Can't wait to straighten that mess out.
Looks like I'll also be doing something for the FRG (family readiness group). This is the support group for the families while the soldiers are deployed. Not sure just what yet - newsletter or treasurer or 'care support'. Hopefully my experience this deployment will be better than the last one. It should be a lot easier to communicate with Eric this time, via cell phones and computers. Of course, that brings up the whole 'op sec' issue (operational security). (note to self - find email from the last time between Eric and his mother about his return flight.)
The band is doing a parade today in Port Wentworth, but Eric wasn't needed. I can't believe they aren't playing the world famous Vidalia Onion Festival today!
Eric has almost 200 friends on facebook. He says it's better than a HS reunion - because he wouldn't actually GO to his reunion.....
