Yikes...

Wow...time has gone whippin' by! I just haven't had any computer time at all, last week was nuts, taking one kid to camp at Big Bear, one to the airport for her vacation, picking up kid from camp, finishing up before school shopping stuff, first day of high school, picking up kid from airport....etc. I don't know why, but I just didn't seem to find the time to blog at all.

The first two days of high school were very intimidating for the youngest munchkin. Bodie wasn't digging on it much, very scary teachers, huge campus, gigantic student population. She's still stressing a bit, but seems to be settling in well. I think the biggest change for her is the cheerleader thing. She has to stay after school 3-4 days a week and won't get home until 5-ish. she's always been one of those, "Get my homework done right away" types, so its killing her to have to do homework when I'm cooking dinner. Nobody likes change though, she'll adapt well, I'm sure.

Cheerleading....hmm...I think maybe I'm an old stick in the mud but I just can't get myself psyched up about the newest fundraiser. My not yet 14 year old Freshman is supposed to sell tickets to a bus trip, the bus leaves at 6 AM on a Saturday, returns at midnight. On the bus will be Jello shooters, $10 Bingo cards, etc. and its destination is Stateline, NV for a day of gambling. I know that she can only sell to people over 21, but I'm just a tad uncomfortable with my 13 year old selling tickets for Jello shooters and transportation to casinos. This totally makes me look like a stiff collared Puritan, and I'm really not. Vegas and gambling isn't really my thing, but I don't care if others go, I don't see the fall of civilization in it or anything like that. I just don't feel right about having 13 year old shilling for it. Am I over-reacting? Probably! But that's just how it goes!!

I did manage get reading done last week, now if I can just get the reviews written! I just finished a couple of very good books, so watch for those reviews soon!
