This weekend is Elayna's Girl Scout camping trip. So I had Adam check out the permission slip to see what time I needed to drop her off at the dropoff point (which, instead of being her school, which is the most central location, is some Target off the highway by the troop leader's house). It's 4:30. Huh? So I write the troop leader an e-mail advising her that Elayna won't be able to be there til possibly 5:30, as I work til 4:30 and there's such a thing as rush hour. Especially on the goddamn highway. And I have Adam call her.

So he calls her, and mentions the 4:30 dropoff time, and she cuts him off with, "Well, actually, we were hoping to get them there between 3 and 4:30."

What crack is this woman smoking?!?

I work. I cannot be the only mom who works. And she expects me to take a half-day off work to haul my kid up to her area because she's too stupid to plan appropriately? What the fuck?

I also said in the e-mail (which she has, of course, not replied to) that a possible solution is to have someone pick Elayna up from home. But I'm not arranging that. She's going to have to. It's her planning fuckup. There is one mom I can call if the troop leader fucks it up entirely, but dammit, if she's going to choose a time when most of the moms can't make it, she's going to have to plan around that. I paid for Elayna to have a camping trip. I paid the $63 camping fee. I bought the official Girl Scout water bottle with strap, whistle, travel toothbrush, etc., and my kid is going camping.

She's an "educational consultant" at a special-needs-kids program. Read: She makes her own hours. She's taken this week off. How nice for her.

She'd fit right in here in Lancaster County. There are days when I think that if I hear another tony pair of at-home soccer moms talking about how rough their lives are, I will puke on the floor in front of them.

Tell me about it! A lot of these moms either don't work or pick their own hours... and yet only two of them (besides me) stepped up to help lead the troop. And I work full-time.

I think the little infuriated kitty is cute.

I want a girlscout toothbrush.

Me too, man. It's howling obscenities.

The tootbrush is available at www.girlscouts.org. :)

What really scares me is how many people like that are out there!
