Really. I waste time. This is nothing new for my family. I can put off anything. I can come up with an excuse that only convinces <strong><em>me</em></strong> that I have a good reason for not doing what I should be doing. If you give me a minute, I'll tell you why I don't have time to deal with the excuse to procrastinate, yet again, what I'm putting off until tomorrow. Got that?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Tonight, I had a reason for serving salad and paninis for dinner...REALLY! The darn bunny got loose and we had the whole neighborhood sifting the bushes with rakes, sticks and buckets. THANK YOU awesome neighbors! Now I guess I have to pony up and help y'all when you're in need. (Yes, I said y'all.) Dang. My biggest regrets: I didn't have my camera ready to catch Mrs. Brandy diggin' in the bushes in her sweats, the Mad monster and friends trying to rebuild missing planks from the fence to keep this from happening again, and last, the carrots strewn across the yard in a veggie sacrifice to entice the bunny to stick around for another day or two. (After the trauma of 4 screaming kids, I don't think it's enough really.)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I can't imagine what life in the city is like...we have so much adventure here in the country, who could want more? Take your city, we like the drama of bunny herding here.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Until the next adventure...this soccer ma is over and out. Errr going to count some sheep.</span>Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14517875937773310667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9114664389587658714.post-40861976127261015772009-08-12T21:14:00.002-05:002009-08-12T21:25:17.743-05:00Dinner and a little poot...<span style="font-family:arial;">We are no longer equipped to handle the little people.

Tonight I sat through 2 and 1/2 hours of the Mad monsters soccer camp. Thank goodness we are sitting at only 76% humidity and it's about 83 degrees. I still drank 32 oz. of water and did the pee pee dance in the car all the way home. </span><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">I have to say it was far more interesting than you would think. I spent the entire evening chatting with one of the teachers at my daughters school. Our schools are in dire need of supplies. I didn't realize that each teacher (those that haven't been let go due to <a href="http://www.al.com/news/press-register/metro.ssf?/base/news/1248513319183450.xml&coll=3">budget cuts</a>) has lost their class supply budget...there is NO money. That means those nifty little weekly notes that come home stating homework and what's going on in class are a distant memory. We, as parents, are going to have to pony up or our children will suffer. I for one, am taking that teacher "wish list" to heart tomorrow morning when I go to register for the 4th grade...EGADS...the fourth grade!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">I hated my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Heffner. After my dreamy 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Westomoreland, I did not adjust well to the old school, hard nosed, no fun teacher. I look back now and wonder...how close was she to retirement. I hope the Mad monster will like her teacher this year. I know she is in for a rude awakening when I become more involved in her class life. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Well, I'm off to get ready for that "wish list", creating wedding packages, washing soccer socks and paying fees and donations that i no longer question when it comes to my daughters education. </span></div>Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14517875937773310667noreply@blogger.com0
