Re: I need my garden!


Zem: Resolving the discrepancy or following up with the paperwork so the
girl scout organization can take legal action to do so falls to me as
the troop leader. I've given this mom until Monday at 3 p.m. to come up
with the money and then I'll file the paperwork and turn it over to the
Girl Scouts for further follow up. Then it won't be my problem anymore.
She knows the deadline; I've been very clear with her about what the
consequences of non payment are; I figure I've done what I have to do so
I can put it out of my head until Monday afternoon.

Melody, why is resolving the discrepancy your problem? Seems to me that
if <br>somebody is responsible for a job they are also accountable for
correcting <br>the mistakes. I was well passed middle age before I could
truly let go. <br>Life is much better now.<br>zem<br>----- Original

saying I wished I could get<br>&gt; away with doing less sometimes and
let other people take over doing some<br>&gt; of the stuff I do? Well,
my first real foray into delegating and not<br>&gt; being so much of a
control freak has been a complete and utter<br>&gt; faillure!!!!!!! A
couple of months ago it was time for the annual Girl<br>&gt; Scout
cookie sale and the job of being a Troop Cookie Manager is huge!<br>&gt;
Takes a lot of time and energy. So when one of the moms
practically<br>&gt; begged me to let her take over doing this, I thought
to myself &quot;I can do<br>&gt; this...I can let this go...&quot; Oh my
goodness...the mess I am now left<br>&gt; trying to fix just makes me
wonder what in the heck I was thinking.<br>&gt; Somehow her collection
efforts have come up about $700 dollars<br>&gt; short...money our troop
now owes to the local girl scout council and<br>&gt; which was due to
them yesterday...a fact she only apprised me of at 8<br>&gt; a.m.
yesterday. Hmphhh...I am so stressed out ...I need my<br>&gt;
garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's icy cold and rainy here...times like
this<br>&gt; I could almost wish I lived someplace with no winter.
Aww,<br>&gt; anyway...thanks for listening...<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;
