I'm behind today! Woke up at 4am and could not get back to sleep for a couple of hours. So once I finally nodded off, I overslept. My animals are still waiting on their food.

 

[Anhelyna]

Get on with it - they need


FOOD

 

[Michie]

Just finished. Everyone is happy.

 

[Michie]

Hello all! I get a break today. My sister went to spend the night with her daughter. So I am trying to figure out what I want to do today.

 

[Anhelyna]

Relax ?

 

[Michie]

Had a hectic day trying to give parental guidance but letting my daughter lead a project herself.

For the bronze award for her level of Scouting, she has decided to do birthday bags for the local food pantry. So she and her team of younger girls will put together birthday cake supplies and gifts for the local food pantry to give out to those with food insecurity when they have children who have birthdays. She was adamant that every child should have a birthday.

But she had to do a budget, develop fundraising, gather a team, decide roles and tasks, do completion timeline, and talk to the partner organizations.

And I can give her guidance but she's supposed to lead so it's one of those parental tests where you take the brakes off and let your child develop leadership skills.

 

[Michie]

Sounds kind of stressful but fun. Let us know how it goes!

She's having a blast. For me it's one of those... You want her to enjoy it so reflexively you think that means succeed. But I've already seen if she makes a mistake discovers it... there is great joy.

So it's get the project done so it's what she wants to help others, but it's her show. So it's the balance of let those mistakes happen and guide her in review so she finds and fixes them herself, but head off any project destroying ones that she doesn't have the experience to identify yet.

I've just learned to think of it like teaching her to swim or ride a bike.

LOL, mine do that too, only they aren't quiet about it.

Now that's wisdom! Well done!

I just imagine, as close as you all are as a family, as conscientiously as you both raise your kids...I see you in (my mind) in the background biting your tongue as you watch (but in your mind), putting your hands to your face and internally dreaming noooooo in slow motion as you see the apple of your eye making a wrong move in her strategy and wanting to fix it! Lol! Sorry! I know it Is tough as a parent when you have to let go a bit, it can be tough! You want to protect them always.

Neither are mine! I am sadly neglectful at times when it comes to THEIR schedule. They might have to wait an extra hour. Lol!

LOL, mine do that too, only they aren't quiet about it.

I have to admit I was ready for the mid 90s to go away, but holy moly I am not ready for lows of 40 and highs of 68. A little transition time! Please!

We are still in the midst of a heatwave here.

Good morning all. Enjoy the weekend. This will be our last weekend of Summer. Monday is the first day of Autumn.

 

[AvilaSurfer]

48 and rain. No golf today.

 

[Michie]

I'm curious where you are at. That's awfully cool this time of year!

I used to split my time between the west coast and Utah, but these days I’m in Utah year round.
