Scout Shabbat is Friday, February 12th at 7:30 at Temple Emanu-el in Haverhill.
If you will attend Scout Shabbat leave me a comment and I’ll make sure your scouts get a patch. Scout Shabbat is open to all scouters (Girl Scouts, Venturers and Cub/Boy Scouts) so please let me know how many scouts will be attending.
You can find directions to the temple here:
See you there!
Today in Astronomy class, the kids learned the moon will eventually escape the earth’s gravitational pull. I suggested it would be cool if Mars was in exactly the right place to capture the moon so it would be a sharing thing.
Ben says that would be wrong because it would be like your brother dating your ex-girlfriend.
Ben has decided he will have a Bar Mitzvah.
Yes, he’s already 13 but was very resistant to the entire idea until now. Now he thinks it should just be a low-keyed event, with a minimum of people attending.
Yeah, right.
First off, we have a lot of family members. Secondly, I don’t think I’ll resist the urge to invite everyone I ever knew to see him.
Ben and Paul are meeting tonight with the Rabbi to go over some details.
Yay!
It must be since I overslept until 9:30 this morning. Two kids aren’t feeling well so the other two will start doing the work they do on their own after lunch. Right now they’re tidying up the million games out on the living room floor.
Got my story posted to OWW this morning. I think it’s a really great story but as a writer I’m at the point where I can’t see the flaws in my writing so I’m relying on others to point them out to me. Either that or I’m as brilliant as I think I am.
It’s Friday so I need to get ready for Shabbat tonight. This involves cleaning the house, baking challah and making a special meal. The house isn’t in bad shape, but it needs to go from functional to pretty (must remember to buy flowers for the table). Challah is easy to make and I’m going to have to come up with something impressive to eat.
So far, I’ve got chicken soup that I’m making this morning, salad, broccoli and cauliflower. I think I’ll go with herb rubbed chicken and rice pilaf. No dessert because we’ll be rushing out of the house to get to Cub Scouts on time.
Tomorrow, I promise, is a rest day.
I can’t believe I got this up and running in one day. I was prepared for a massive seige, with a great deal of IMing back and forth with the husband and much frustration.
Also today I managed to fix up the short story I wrote in October with the exception of one thing I have to sleep on. Tomorrow (the rest day) it goes onto OWW to be critiqued.
Also coming up tomorrow is Cub Scouts and Shabbat dinner.
