GS starts tonight

GS starts tonight. The big question is whether we will be able to get into our meeting place. We meet in the cafeteria of a local school. We had enough trouble last year... seems they could never remember to unlock the doors for us. Sadly, we could often sneak in through an unlocked door on the other side of the building. I heard that the school is now on "lockdown" due to Monday's sad, sad events in Lancaster. The other leader's hubby is active with the PTA, so he'll be calling the principal to ensure someone is there to unlock. Yeah. We'll see.

He's a total arse-bite! (my favorite new insult from A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabladon. If you haven't read the Outlander series, run, RUN to the bookstore and buy Outlander and read it.) The principal is, not the co-leader's hubby! By the 3rd day of school dh'd already been "toe-to-toe" with him via phone. I know not all school administrators are evil, but this one is so full of himself... I suspect that he's so used to being the authority figure with the kids that he treats the parents in the same manner, expecting us to cower at his feet. Ha. Good luck with that. Then he runs up against dh the cop, who is also used to being the authority figure... I'll get into that fight another time.

GS tonight... it's going to be interesting. A lot of new girls. A lot. Of the 14 that registered, 6 are 1st graders. We need to recruit for next year. We plan to move up with our girls to Juniors. I'm taking Camp training this fall so that I can take the girls camping. What's GS w/o camping? Ghost stories, songs and S'mores around a campfire... (rain, wet, soggy, homesick girls... yeah, I know the realities too!)
