Gone baby, gone.

The title of this post does not refer to the recent movie directed by actor Ben Affleck and starring his little brother Casey Affleck - (Rated R, haven't seen it, although it has created a bit of Oscar buzz). No, sadly, it refers to my brain.

Tonight is Scouts for the boys. Logan's Wolf badge has been sitting in the 'junk bowl' on the counter for what seems like forever. So, I decide I am going to be Super Productive Mom today and finally get it patched onto his shirt. I pull out the "Badge Magic" and get it on lickety split. I was also thinking what a great kid Logan is because he has never nagged me to put the patch on and is probably feeling different from all the rest of his den each Tuesday night, but still doesn't bother me to put it on. So, while applying the badge, I am chiding myself for not doing this ages ago because it only took two seconds, I notice that there already is a Wolf badge on and I have just put the second badge where his Bear badge should go.

How the heck did we get two Wolf badges?!? And when did I put the first one on? Then I realize that Logan is in the Bear den and finished the Wolf thing at the end of last school year.

So, I pull off the second Wolf badge and am left with a perfect diamond of glue on the shirt ready to collect lint and dirt and who knows what for the next few months until we get a Bear badge to cover it up. (Now for sure he won't feel different from the rest of the den.) And how long is it going to take me to get the Bear badge on...? Sheesh.

Now I have an ice pack on the glue diamond in hopes of peeling it off. I figure it took heat to apply it, maybe cold will UN-apply it. Maybe? What do I try next, peanut butter? (I'm half kidding.)

So much for being Super Productive Mom. I won't make that mistake again! I will say, however, that the Badge Magic (sold at your local Scout shop) is awesome and works great!
