Soccer field


I showed Kat this soccer field a couple of days ago. I told her that it's the field she will be playing on next year. She believed me. I've been trying to tell her that I was just teasing her, but she's convinced that it's the new field. I think we need to tease her more to get her used to it.

Stuff to do today

I took today off to try to catch up. Yesterday, I was told by many people that I just look exhausted. The topper was when Aly's 10-year-old friend told me that I look like I should go back to bed. I didn't argue. I just went.

Today, I'm going to try to get all the loose ends tied up from the Girl Scout nut sales. I made all the deposits already, and I'm waiting for a few more people to get the money to me. I think I'm making phone calls this afternoon to track down those parents. I still have to figure out who gets what prizes.

The girls have a prayer service at school. I was going to go, but since they get out early today, I think I'm not going to go, and spend the time doing something more useful.

I have started to plan out the basketball practice for Friday afternoon. We have a time, day, and location. We've contacted all the parents. I bought the equipment. I just need a plan and hope that it doesn't rain on Friday.

I still need to buy Kat the tank top and leggings that she needs for her dance performance next week. It's not easy to find tank tops this time of year. Especially black ones. The leggings I'm not so worried about.

Soccer practice is this afternoon. Thankfully, Eric offered to bring Kat with him. I can get some more stuff done while she's practicing.

Aly has decided that she's taking up fencing in the Spring. She found out that it's offered on the only night that we have nothing going on. It's across the street from us, so it won't be too hard to get her there. We're trying to figure out why she wants to do it. The registration can't go in until December 8, so I have a little time before I need to deal with that yet.

I hope that the stuff I ordered from ebay arrives today or at least before Friday afternoon. I'll be all set, equipment-wise, for Friday's practice.

Just getting started

Some days, I think, wow, I should write that down somewhere. Today, I am actually doing something about those thoughts.

Not that I have nothing else to do, it's just that I'm checking one more thing off my to do list.

I'm not sure how frequently I'll be posting on here, but we'll see how it goes. You never know until you try.
