Church...Wowzah!

Tomorrow Remi and I are going to expand her horizons.  Yep! I am going to take Remi to church.  An LDS church.  There is apparently one here in Crestview, FL and I have decided that it may be a good social and learning experience for Remi. 

Remi is such a social person and super sweet to every one she meets.  We haven't had much luck, not surprisingly, with the play date groups around here since the majority of them are made up of various military spouses and their spawn and it is very apparent that they get together more for the rancid gossip and bitch offs than the children.  Nor have we had much luck at the parks in general. 

Since I am not a social person, generally, and prefer to be myself and not have my kiddos get the fall out due to my obviously not so likable personality (their loss).  I have decided Church may be another, better social alternative for Remi.  My personality is what it is, and isn't going to change drastically anytime soon.

I can't be anyone other than me.  I like to use my brain, learn new things, am not afraid to fail badly, have skills and talents, am not afraid to have or voice my opinion and genuinely enjoy sharing my knowledge, talents and skills.  I am also not afraid to be in the wrong and am fine with people teaching and correcting me as long as you are not a complete ass-head about it.

I am actually a pretty cool and very loyal and reliable person, if you can handle my very defined sense of self.  I am who I am and I am quite proud of what I know, have done and my willingness to keep right on going.  Life is rough, but making friends shouldn't be.

Poor Remi, she tries so hard to make friends with the children she meets but they already seem to be in little social clicks developed by their moms' own social agenda and seem to have no interest in meeting children outside those groups.  The few children she has gotten along with the mothers for whatever reason took an instant dislike to me (and I have been trying so hard to limit what I say and how I say it.  Keeping in mind body language too.) and snubbed both me and the girls. 

Stupid cunty bitches teaching their children to be stupid cunty runts just like them by example.  Ohh! How I would like to kick those parents for leading such poor examples.  I am always being nice, trying always to treat others how I would like me and mine treated, making sure the girls know how they should treat others as well.  The girls, honestly, are much better behaved out in public and are always unfailingly polite and nice.  It just breaks my heart every time we go out to play with others to find this is not reciprocated.  Hence the idea of LDS Church. 

Okay I did consider Pre-K but it would take more time to get Remi ready and drive her there than she would actually be there.  Such a waste of time and gas, I would rather spend that small amount of time playing with her and teaching through play myself. 

I also looked into sports and other activities but for what ever reason there just isn't anything within a reasonable distant from us that she can participate in due to her age.  Tucson, by far, had more extracurricular activities like swimming and sports for young children then we now have here in Crestview.  That is just too bad. 

I can't say why I thought of church but know it may be a good option if Remi does in fact like it.  I am comfortable with what I know she will learn, the behavior expected and what I would have to put into it and thanks to Jess I got the information (Ward, address, time, etc...) that I need to go forward with this plan.  We will see how things go.  It really is up to Remi.  It all depends on whether she enjoys going and wants to go.  Right now of course she has no idea what church is. 

I'll have to get back to you on how this goes.
