brain fart

Who do you think came up with this term? I would really love to know...I have brain farts all the time! No air escapes my head.....well....Ok, I get it. LOL
Our first meeting went so well! I think Nida and I make an awesome team! She is more strict, knows all the rules yet knows when to be easy. I am more the laid back, best friend type of person. I help smooth the waves easily. I know that all of our girls will have a BLAST this year. I also know that they will learn so much as well. I had one of our three leaders tell me she was nervous and didn't know how to react to her new responsibility. Our troop last year didn't have her doing anything that a Junior Girl Scout should be doing...AT ALL. Our last leader ran it all herself, not even asking for my help. This year, we are putting it in the hands of the girls. If they hit a snag, oviously they can ask us to help. I let her know that and KNOW she will grow with this experience. All of them will. Nida and I are on the same page with this. This is the reason I wanted to lead. I wanted them to GET IT. Learn, grow, lead. These are our future leaders......if I can help one girl become a better woman when she grows up, then I have done what I have set out to. THIS IS WHY....why I volunteer, why I do all the training, why I spend so much time on it. The best part is, my two daughters are apart of this. I did this for them, for the girls in the troop, for ME.


Ok, yes it sounds super drama~ish but it is the truth. No dramatics, just the truth. Have a great day!
