I Am NO Good At This!

Over the years I’ve had 2 Girl Scouts and JJ in Boy Scouting. They have all stopped Scouting and now Tristan is in Cub Scouts. He just started with the beginning of this school year and I’m remembering the thing that has always made me look like a less-than-dedicated mom…the uniform and patches! Ugh! I am so challenged at keeping up with having everything put correctly onto the uniform. I know it seems like a simple thing, but somehow it’s the part I just can’t keep up on.

as you can see, I don’t have any problem with getting them to events and helping them earn things…

…it’s just actually sewing them on (or even ironing them on) that gets me. Check out all those safety pins!

this is the stack of what JJ earned that never made it onto his sash. The sash and this pile have been on my dresser for a year. Yes…a year!

this is as far as I ever got with the whole thing.

This is Tristan’s shirt. I pulled up all the “good mom” stuff I could find inside of me and I put it all together in time for last night’s meeting. But I’m gonna need to do some serious self-talk to stay on top of it! I’m not sure why THIS is the thing that I fall so short on.

~sigh~

I’m wondering if there’s a badge for sewing on your own patches!

Have a great day~
