You can't go back...

Tonight we were supposed to have a girl scout meeting. We had not heard that we could not use the school, even though they were having family night at the school. The school never uses the art room for these special nights. The other co-leader and I discussed several times weather we should keep our meeting at the school, move it to another venue, or just cancel until December.  Because we are still in the middle of cookie sales we decided to have our meeting tonight as usual.

MAC and I got to the school about 15 minutes earlier than we normally would have and we walked in and met the principal. It was the same principal that gave MAC her "diploma" 2 years ago. She told us that she had cancelled our meeting since the school was in use.

Not that MAC would ever want to go back, but walking in to the school and talking to the principal made ME glad that she will never have to go back there. I felt MACs stress level raise 50 points as soon as she saw the principal. I guess I'm just as bad, because I felt my hackles rise too.

We did finally find our troop at the leader’s house. We had our full hour and a half meeting, the girls finished 2 interest projects and got ready for the meeting next week when they will be helping to run a junior meeting.  Moving forward is not always easy but I would not want to go back.
