The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Space Derby!
We are at the scouts pack meeting and they are having the Space Derby. I helped some in setting it up, and now I get to be one of the finish line judges. Logan loves scouts. Tonight started out very bad. Logan has not worn his uniform for the past several weeks. I told him he HAS to wear it if he wanted to go to the pack meeting and race. He tore his room completely apart looking and could not find it. Kat was on her way over so I left to go help set up. I told the kids they would have to miss this one. After working so hard on the rockets, it was difficult for us all to take, but I thought it was the right thing to do. The scout leader Paula said she had one he could borrow, but I tolhr no. After all, a scout should be responsible for himself and his actions. Lexie stayed home and I was going to come right home after setting up. This is because for us, scouts is a family thing. We either all participate, or all of us don't. Well I got a text from Kathy about a half hour to 45 minutes later saying they were on the way--she had found the shirt for Logan. I am glad it was found, but Logan should have taken the responsibility and done it. I would bet that he will keep his shirt put away from now on. I know he is very happy to be here and Kathy is his hero for the day.
