We are Scouts

Oh my!  a busy day indeed!

i was so excited, i woke earlier than the alarm clock.  been busy since 3:30 this morning.  cooked breakfast, prepared lunchboxes, iron the clothes, woke the kids at 4:30, had them prepared before 6 am.  my, my, to braid the hair ate up all our time.  but it's alright! i was pleased with the reactions from my daughters.  they so loved how they looked when i was done with them.  as if they were going to a pageant or something alike. when the truth is, they were just attending the investiture. 

the sad thing is i won't be able to witness all their activities today (alyanna's going to sing, tamarra's the patrol leader, they are going to dance, too).  but you know, call of duty.  just like scouts, disregard oneself and make sure you are able to perform your duty for the love of your countrymen...hihihi.  so i'll count this to those times that i cannot be with my children because i have to be with my students (who i hope would see the worth of their teachers).

but i promised them that daddy's coming so they should still be glad.  he's gonna take their pictures and videos as well.  then, tamarra said it's alright.  she shared that her friend Kyla would be braiding her own hair, put on some make up by herself, because her mom only comes every weekends.  she lives with her dad, but couldn't fix her hair of course.  i was touched because at least, my daughter appreciates that i could attend to them and their needs before i go to work.

i really hope they will have a good time today.  and that may God bless me with a longer life so i can always be there for my kids on times that they could really use my guidance.
