Do you hear that.....

That is the sound of silence with a muffled groan coming from me. I have just received this season's soccer schedule AND realized that yes, today is Tuesday - NOT Monday. Which means tomorrow is crazy day. At our school district the kids get out of school an hour early on Wednesdays so teachers can use that time for their meetings and training. It cuts down on teacher in-service days during the year- so they tell us. Wednesdays mean - Kyle rushes home from school, raids the fridge, starts and hopefully finishes homework, gathers soccer gear , gets to soccer for wam up at 4:50, leaves soccer a little early at about 6:30, eats supper in van on way to Boy Scouts, gets home just after 8:30 from that and then either hops into shower, inhales more food or collapses on his bed. This week he will need to leave soccer even earlier as he will be haivng his review board meeting at Boy Scouts - and has to be in uniform..... I pray to the highest being(s) that he will be somewhat sweet smelling for them. At least as sweet smelling as a pre-teen boy who has been running around the soccer field can smell. In a few weeks he will be having his awards ceramony - in uniform. Yeah, it will be on a Wednesday also. I think I shower and unrumpled uniform might hold out higher than practice that day.

Sooo looking at the soccer schedule at least this season we have all game son Saturdays. One of the them I have no flipping idea where it is located, and some of the teams are competion level teams - we are a rec level team - but a higher level one. Hmmm could make for an interesting season.

In other taterville news....the twins are still liking school so far. They have discovered the free breakfast in the cafeteria at school . This morning I was asked if I minded if they just ate in the cafeteria this morning. I sd no , but first you need to eat something here. That way I know you actually have food in your stomach. BIG sigh - oh right moooooom.

The garden is still growing good. We actually had some yellow watermelon from it the other day. Not bad. The tomatoes have been YUMMMMMO as has the corn and everything else.

Sunday we had some friends and neighbors over for a BBQ . Grilled up tons of food - once again I think I over did it - oh well. Most of the veggies we did were from the garden! A friend brought makings for smore's and recipes for making different kinds of smores using flavored marshmellows or candies. Such oooey goooey goodness. The kids all had fun doing various lawn games and flying kites. Poor little Megan was trying to fly her kite - a big gust of wind came up and looked like she was going to be carried away!

Hubby's business is busy and I'm trying to dig out my office and dreaming up creative projects to get that side of my brain going again.


Oops being called and need to go take a peek at the slow cooker - supper is getting all happy in it.
