More fun - especially for moms!

Not much new and exciting today, so I thought I'd post this little video. I hadn't seen it for quite a while, but it gave me a laugh again.

It's a woman who has taken many of the things we moms say and put it to the music of the William Tell overture. It's fast, funny, and so very true! In fact, I'm sure I've said several of those things in the past couple of days. Copy, Paste, and Enjoy!

Soccer Mom

I have joined the ranks of the soccer moms. Dean played when he was little - literally, like age 4 to 7 or 8 - and then not again until last year when he played on the 8th grade team. Junior high soccer is co-ed, and it was fun to see the kids all muddy and ragged, then just an hour or so later all clean and dressed up to dance at Nordquist. This year it's high school soccer and we don't have enough boys for a JV and a varsity team, so it's only varsity. What a difference. These boys play tough! Here is a photo of part of the team after a win on Monday. The newspaper came out and took a bunch of photos and wrote up an article about the team. Dean is number 9 and the muddy boy is Garrison, a good friend. He really earned that dirty uniform that day! It's a great group of boys and parents, so it's been fun so far. Dean is learning a lot about soccer, since he really didn't play much before this.

Life is interesting, isn't it?

It's been a while...

OK, it's been a while since I've posted. Seems like there is a lot going on considering I'm essentially sitting home these days. Just kidding! I don't think there's been any time that I have just sat at home.

I'm working part-time temporarily at the church, helping out in the bookkeeping office. That's OK for now, but I'm still wondering where I'm meant to end up. I've been working with a friend a bit, trying to get her business start up plans figured out. School started a few weeks ago, and soccer practice is every day after school unless they have a game. My in-laws just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary, and we all got together for a family BBQ for them. Bible study starts tomorrow night, and I'm looking forward to that.

We did something really fun this past weekend. We were gifted with tickets to a benefit event in Rutherford that included a concert by The Pointer Sisters. What a great time we had, tasting some fabulous local wines and dancing to some great music, then going out to dinner in Napa with friends. Not the kind of thing we do often, but soooooo much fun. Then a relaxing impromptu BBQ Sunday after church with our very best friends and the weekend was topped off quite nicely. We're so blessed!

Is your time going by as quickly as mine? Before we know it, we'll be making Thanksgiving and Christmas plans!
