Hola and como esta, people!

Been much better since Sunday. Figured that was a necessary cathartic moment. Probably won't be the last, but keeping busy seems to be the key.

Nathan got braces tightened on Monday. Now his bands are glow-in-the-dark green. (Hint: if you're gonna give the kid something and it comes in a regular or glow-in-the-dark version? Go with the glow. 'Sall I'm saying).

Scouts last night. Too a certain extent, being the den leader has become easier, and yet on Mondays and Tuesdays, I'm still like "oh crap! what are we going to do?!?@#". Last night another mom organized a Great Britian theme crafts the Scout Expo on Saturday - and then I found out the Pack isn't sponsoring a booth after all. *sigh* Hello? Someone wanna clue me in to this stuff?

(Just to add to your trivia repertoire - scouting was started in February, 1909 in Great Britain. It came to the States ten years later.)

Works going okay. We've got a battalion Family Readiness Group (FRG) steering committee meeting tomorrow, so I've been busy getting ready for that. We have one committee member who is a drama queen. She's getting forceably booted out, but since she's the company commander's wife - I'm expecting fireworks tomorrow when she comes to the meeting. Our brigade just went online on Facebook, and one of the wives in our battalion is already posting stuff to stir the pot. FB is convenient in a lot of ways, but I'm not sure it's really an asset to the military.

Haven't talked to Eric all day today. I skyped with him at lunch yesterday, but with scouts, it was way too late to call him when we got home. But I talked to his mom tonight and she had just talked to him, so I guess all is well. We're packing up a box to send out to him. Nathan has cut out a foot from a piece of paper and put an OU on it to put in the box.
