Yes, here comes one of my vents. I took over after they transferred. First off, she was like,"Oh, there was no one else to step up." Hello! I was there too. Don't get me wrong....she did fine until Christmas. Then it went all to hell. She would not accept any help and was determined to do it all "her way". She was so consumed with cookies, because she took it all on herself I might add, that our meetings were crap. I would plan something for the Brownies and would have to switch because she didn't have anything planned for the Juniors. She wasted time on dues and attendance which was NEVER taken correctly after Christmas. (these are jobs the Juniors SHOULD have been doing) We had THREE girls leave because of this. The worst was the Bronze award. This is supposed to be worked on for 2 maybe 3 years. Michaela even brought this up nonchalantly in a Service Branch meeting. She not only squeezed it in a year but picked it herself and did most of the work. They are supposed to not only choose it but do ALL of the work. Oh, and there were two service branch events she got on just to knock down my ideas or to switch the date so my Brownies couldn't do a Try It that was hosted by our council. Seriously, the one idea I had was for Thinking day, she turned the idea down and got off the board. The other was for the She and Me which NO ONE SIGNED UP FOR. I had a planned event for the Brownies that had to be changed. To top it all off, she didn't turn in the financial report. If you don't, we don't get our paperwork and the girls cannot participate in any events. Of course, I was able to waive this rule, I am sure to her horror. She just emailed me after two weeks of no response saying she faxed the report and it must have gotten lost. WHATEVER! Then she squeezes in that her hubby is out flying right now. FAG! Oh, and enough with Krones diesease. I am so sick of sick Navy wives. Every place that we have gone, there has always been someone with this ailment or that. Can't ya''ll just be happy with being healthy? They thrive on being sick and ailing.

I feel so much better! Seriously, this has been eating at me. Miss High and Mighty is off to play high school, "I am better than thou" games. Loser! Anyway, we are going to have a fresh start. New meeting place, new leaders, new attitude. I have a treasurer set up, cookie mom, and an awesome sailing class for the girls. They will be doing a scrapbook to keep their memories of this year as well. Ooh, I should set up a mom for taking pictures of everything. I would also like to give some ideas for our new Juniors on doing their Bronze. If there is someone who doesn't want to do it, that is fine. They have 3 years to decide if they want to or not. It should be on what they want to get out of G.S. Not what the MOM wants their kids to get out of it or the leader getting credit for getting the girls their Bronze. I want the girls to have an awesome year, stress free! You know it isn't worth it when you have one of the girls come up to you in tears because the "Leader" squeezed all the filming into one day and they weren't included. She didn't feel that her Bronze was earned. Sad but true story.
