So yet I am posting again, right after blogging about today's yarny arrivals! I thought maybe I could fool you into not getting as bored of my blogging if I separated out this post!
OK, I feel like I can share a bit about one reason I was feeling a tad bit busier over these past couple of weeks.
As you all know, I am a PTA mom. Not just a PTA mom, but an officer of the PTA Board at Lil' Emp's school. Before leaving for camp, an on-going issue rose to a second threat of a lawsuit and upon my return from camp, we received a summons to Small Claims court. So...basically we had our court date tonight and up until this evening, I had been working on getting our information together to present. Bottom line: we were being brought to Small Claims for collection of a $76 royalty fee for a design we had been using for our school t-shirts and sweatshirts. The husband of one of the teachers created the design and this year decided he wanted to collect royalty fees for its use. This, we were informed of only after conducting our "Back to School Night" t-shirt sales. So now we wait 2-3 weeks for a judgement to be mailed to us.
I have to say that it was a wonderful thing being there and having several teachers, a past PTA officer, a retiree/volunteer and her husband, and Principal there tonight to support our Board. No matter what the outcome, we were well represented and supported and were doing what we felt was right.
My Tarot Card
You are Strength
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

I know that has been a stressor for a bit so I'm glad its done. And hopefully will be in your favor (like it should!!!).
Keeping my fingers crossed the outcome is in your favor too! Bad karma for this fella and the teacher...Terry , who loves tapmouse's yarn pics!!
On the plus side, that means the plaintiff also has to wait that 2-3 weeks.
I am so hoping this means the judge will run in your school's favor 'cause, in case I haven't said it before, he's a schmuck for doing that to the school.
We have budget crisis and he's trying to make money off the kids. It's so not right.
I just memed you!
