HAIL STORM



at soccer practice during the beautiful sky, but not a great photo representing how spectacular it really looked!



THIS also looked way cooler in real life...the sun reflecting off the wet tree and shining on the dormant oak tree in the background....it was awesome, but you really cant tell from this pic.

Sunday

I was blogging about once a day for a while there, but then I got sick....SO SICK....and didn't feel like doing ANYTHING but sleep and try not to breath too deep or I'd start coughing, my throat hurt, my nose was both runny and stopped up at times, and I had a HEADACHE non stop for the whole time, almost.  But I went to work, did all my soccer practices, cub scout duties, volunteer hours (Except when Linda said, "You still look terrible, I don't need you THAT bad, go HOME.")  So now all I have left is the cough, only if I breath too deep or inhale icy cold air.....so I feel better.  I can blog again!  With all that sickness, there wasn't anything exciting going on around here to blog or photograph anyway. 

We did get a little snow one day, but I didn't get any photos because I was at work, without my camera.  We did get hail one afternoon, but the pictures are in the other computer....the boys LOVED playing in the hail!  We had a soccer practice where half of the sky was beautiful BLUE and SUNNNNNNY and the other half was dark, dark GREY and GLOOMY and we got a little snow and rain with the sun out.....very odd.  William had track practice that day too and commented on the slushy running.  For those of you not from Chico....snow is an UNUSUAL phenomenon that takes place only like ONCE every 20 years!

Besides not blogging, I didn't do any housework, cooking, laundry that kind of stuff when I was sick...so now that I feel better...I better go clean my house!  This is going to take a while.  That's ok, I planned on a HUGE portion of my day to be spent filling out the dreaded FAFSA (if you dont know, it's a form to fill out to see if you qualify for Federal Financial Aid for college) for Melanee and William (I know you prob think they should do their own........) but I got it all done ALREADY....they changed it a bunch and it is EASIER!!!!!  I was AMAZED.  After I was done filling out the financial stuff for William a screen appeared saying "would you like to apply this info for another child"  WOO HOO...  so I just clicked a thing and WOW I was almost immediately finished!  So now that I have those hours back, guess I will do some dishes.  I actually thought about going to the store to buy more cups last week because we kept running out.

This post is NOT about Hockey!

 WIlliam had two basketball games today...they won one and lost one.  William scored 15 in the first game.  He shot and made 3 pointers, lay ups, regular shots, and even free throws.  In the second game, he wasn't as good, he didn't play as much, and he got hurt....he only scored 1 point...which game do you think they won???  Yeah, the second!  The first game was close and even went into overtime, the second was a blow out.  Close games are better!!!!! 

 Bradley's team scored 3 goals today....that's an impovement over the 2 last game, but this time the other team scored 4, so it was another loss!  Stinks, because they really played well.  We just have a young team compared to all the other teams in the league.

AND the most exciting part of sports Saturday---ANDREW SCORED a GOALLLLLLLL!!!!  It was a beauty, too.  He got the ball past his defender and ABSOLUTLY BLASTED the ball OVER the goalies head.  NO goalie in our league could have stopped it because it was going so hard and it was so well placed high into the net.  Our team still lost, though, 2-1.  I hope we don't lose every game. 

Window Washer

We went and got gas today because Scott says gas prices are going to go up....while I pumped Andrew washed my window....with 2 squeegies, standing on the hood, barefooted.

Life is a Puck

LOL....David thinks I need to change my blog title to something that refers more to hockey than soccer...haha...Life is a Rink, Life is Ice, Life is a Stick, Life is a Slap Shot, Life is a Spin-a-Rama, Life is a Penalty Box, Life is a Concussion, Life is a Zamboni, Life is a Face Off, Life is a Blind Pass, Life is a Neutral Zone, Life is a Back Check, Life is a Line Change, Life is a POWER PLAY....haha...I like that one....but hey, soccer season for Bradley and Andrew is in FULL SWING, I will be blogging about soccer soon enough, just that the game this past week was rained out, so just wait, I wont ALWAYS be SOLELY obsessed with hockey.  MLS starts soon, too.  And I think Melanee's team has a spring 7 on 7 tournament coming up.  I would blog more about Premiere/Champions League Soccer, but I am always asleep or at work when their games are on.  And the USMNT's game in Egypt was canceled, so I haven't been trying to ignore my love for soccer......just wait.....haha....not ready to change the blogs title just yet......

a little about me

Took these questions from Gina's blog....haha....

{one} do you always wear your seatbelt in the car?

I pretty much always do, but sometimes when I am in a bad mood or PMSing and dont really care if I die, I will leave it off, but then Andrew will always get realllllly freaked out and MAKE me put it on!
{two} do you crack your knuckles?

No, but a few of my kids do and it's Scott's biggest PET PEEVE...it may even be the thing that has come between he and Melanee and caused them so much friction all these years!!!!
{three} what is your favorite flavor of gum?

I don't chew gum!  And I don't like it when my kids chew gum, either!

{four} what is your favorite piece of jewelry that you own?

I don't wear jewelery.

{five} who is your best friend?

Michelle my best friend from real life, she's like a refuge from the real world and the cold hard life, can always count on her to make me feel better and I know she cares about me even if we don't even talk for a month!!!  Sarah is my best friend from church.....it used to be Ann, but whenever the church changes ward boundries, it always messes with friendship, don't know why, but I always lose close friends, they become distant friends, even though we haven't moved any further from each other, when the boundries change! Sarah, I always knew you would have to move back SOMETIME, but I am reallllllllllllllly missing you!  (Ann, you are my best friend from 5th ward!)  If I can include Melanee as a best friend, I will do that too because I really love talking (chatting, IMing, texting) with her and I feel really close to her even though she is SO far away.  I can't believe that she is an "adult"....haha....how did she grow up SO fast and become more like a friend than a child? 
{six} what is your favorite smell?
 I can't smell right now!  But I really, really like the smell of dinner cooking when we come home from church....sometimes we can even smell it when we get out of the car in the FRONT yard. 
{seven} what is your favorite lunch meat?
I don't like sandwiches, except Subway sandwiches....so I don't really have a favorite lunch meat.  When I buy it at the store, I buy ham.  But don't really eat it. 

{eight} do you still have your tonsils?
Nope.

{nine} do you untie your shoes before you take them off?
Yes, or else my "no show" socks come off in my shoes and I HATE that!

{ten} what color is your car?
Maroon.  I used to have an awesome white Honda, which I loved tremendously, but it is no longer with us......(WHOLE nother post!)

Copy and paste the questions on your blog!

Sharks beat Red Wings (Again)

William wears a lot of clothes (I know, I do the laundry around here).  He has clothes for sleeping in, clothes for wearing to go out in, clothes for track, clothes for scouts, clothes for church, clothes for sitting on the couch, you get it.....it's all very important to him.....Last night he got very excited about a new plan, to pick out the next day's clothes the night before.  He had done it, along with what he would wear to track practice....even had his socks all picked out.  So, that's when I said to him...."Look William, this is what I do when I wake up in the morning" and I walked him to my dresser.  I then showed him how I grab pants, grab a shirt (any shirt, doesn't matter cuz I will be wearing a sweatshirt over the shirt, no one will ever see the shirt and it doesn't matter if sweat shirts match pants, does it?)  I own TWO pairs of shoes....running type tennis shoes for every day and church shoes,(but not William, he tries to match his shoes with all he wears, too, so that's another added decision that I dont have to make).  After I showed him how I get dressed every day and that my way only takes SECONDS....he tells me, flat out, pointing at himself "Um, well, I CARE about what I look like!"  Ohhhhhhh OK, I guess my way of getting ready for each day shows that I don't care what I look like!  Oh ok!!!  But William said he would THINK about just grabbing things in the pile......."next time".  Well tonight, we were watching the Sharks game and on one of the intermissions William runs in and takes a quick shower and comes out dressed like THIS----WHAT!  What ARE YOU WEARING!?!?!???!!!  The Sharks were playing against the RED WINGS....(William is wearing a RED WINGS shirt).  But he simply pointed out that it was MY FAULT....that he was trying my way of getting dressed....just grabbing the first item he grabbed....and that was it. 

Random Tuesday

I can't find my camera, I'm not on "my" computer, and I don't have much to say.....soooooo I think I'll do one of Gina's Random Tuesday type posts.

William and Bradley went up the hill to play in the snow on Saturday.  Andrew refused to go with them.  They had fun making a ramp and jumping their "sled" and "saucer".  No big injuries to report.  Lots of wet clothes to wash.  No pictures, although the camera WAS in Bradley's pocket.

Andrew DOES like cauliflower.  I don't cook tons of variety and came to realize the other day that since Andrew loves broccoli, asparagus, spinach, corn on the COB, most other veggies, he might like cauliflower....but I have NEVER made it for him before.....he's 9...wow...I need to add some new foods to my menu once in a while.

Bradley and Andrew do NOT know who Mr. Feeney is??!?!???!!!???  WHAT?!?!???!!!  Ok, Nick at Nite or Disney or Family Channel YOU NEED TO START showing "Boy Meets World" my little kids are MISSING OUT!

I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Bradley's class today.  This week is my week to bring snacks.  He is in the FIFTH grade....I don't even think they had a snack chart in KINDERGARTEN......5th grade......5th GRADE, don't you think these kids are old enough to remember to bring a snack if they want one?!?!???!!

Never WASTE your money on Dollar Store kleenex...it is NOT soft, absorbent, the sheets are small and thin, and they HURT your nose.

Runny noses are annoying, clogged noses are annoying, sore throats hurt, but I think the worst part of this cold is the cough.....when I cough I feel like my eyes are going to pop out of  my head, my ears are going to explode, my lungs are going to come up out of my mouth, etc....coughing is the WORST!

Melanee may audition for a play at SVU....no, she has never been in a play ever before in her life, no she doesn't have any acting/singing/performing talent that I know about, she did have an acting class once, but I really don't know where this new aspiration came from???????  She has really grown and changed since going away to college.  Succeeding in soccer, running for and getting elected to the Executive Council, singing in the church choir, being a ward missionary, applying for and getting the EFY job, lots of new and exciting things, so WHY NOT go out for a school production????  GOOD LUCK Melanee, Break a Leg!

How do YOU celebrate "President's Day"?

By coloring eggs, OF COURSE, isn't that what EVERYONE does on President's holiday? 

 Then after all the dying of the colorful eggs, don't you go out and have a President's Egg Hunt???  We do!!!

Ear Warmer

It was REALLLLLLLy cold and windy at school today.  During morning recess I almost got a headache from the cold wind blowing in my ears...it really hurt.....so during my break I went and bought one of those "ear warmer" head band type things that skiers and soccer players wear to keep their ears and heads warm.....lol.....sooooooo, I guesssssss I shouldn't have bought the WHITE one because AT LEAST 20 kids asked me "what happend to your head" "were you in a coma" "why is your head all wrapped up" "what's on your head?"  and other questions and A LOT of stares.....lol......after a while Bradley took it off of me and put it on, then I even had one kid ask me "how did Bradley cut his head?"  Maybe I should have bought a colorful one, or just a hat!!!!

William applied for college

William has been PUTTING IT OFF and PUTTING IT OFF....but tonight he finally APPLIED to college.  He filled out his first ever application and even wrote what he called was the "best essay EVER".  Let's hope he gets in (or hope he doesn't, I'm not sure which one to wish for)....he applied for SVU!!!!!!!!!  (You know Southern Virginia University, otherwise known around here as---"Melanee's school". 

Sharks

They lost today!  I am still bummed (6 hours later)...I mean, I wanted to stay home from church to watch the game.....but I didn't....I went....and they still lost...I thought I had a deal with Heavenly Father, if I go to church, do what is right, sacrifice my wants for what is right, I will be blessed and my team will be blessed and everyone will be happy!  I went.  They were winning.  I came home and there was still 9 minutes left in the game.  (I don't want to point out here that I actually left Bradley and Andrew for Scott to bring home and I practically SPED home.)   I took my seat on the couch.  The score was 2-1, Sharks WINNING....and the Panthers scored....then scored AGAIN....then the game was OVER and they Sharks were not victorious!  WHAT?!?!?!  What about my plan, which used to work SO WELL when I was a Dallas Cowboys fan back in the early 90's....I'd go to church, they'd win.  (Maybe they were just a good team....maybe the Sharks aren't....maybe it has NOTHING to do with my little sacrifices and blessing....OOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRR maybe I should have worn my Canadiens shirt under my dress!!!!!!)  (William said that "I" was unlucky....because they were winning before "I" started watching.) 

***I hope it rains on Tuesday, their next game, so that soccer practice can be canceled, and I can watch the game.  (Hey Jessica, or someone equally smart ...is canceled spelled cancelled or canceled???  Spell check leaves both of them as correct.)

Giant Pumpkins

Bradley, Scott, and Andrew have big plans to grow GIANT pumpkins...they planted them today.....they bought special giant pumpkin seeds on the internet....these pumpkins are supposed to grow to be over 500 pounds....we'll see

 There was a show advertised on the Learning Channel or the Discovery channel or one of those Lifetime type channels....which was going to show "Pet Hoarders"...we never watched the actual show, but the advertisement had on it a guy sitting on his front porch petting a chicken.....it reminded me of Scott, who carries around his chickens like little babies and talks to them like they are people (do chickens even have EARS?). 

**** do you like his tie???

Andrew's Hair Cut

I decided to cut Andrew's hair yesterday.....I used the #2 blade on the clipper, but did you know that the #2 is VERY, VERY short???  It is....so when I went to cut the hair on the top of his head with scissors....I had a hard time blending it all in because I was using my fingers as guides and my fingers are way fatter than the #2 blade!  I like the outcome, but I think #4 is the best size!

Back 2 Soccer

You would not believe how happy and excited these two little boys were this afternoon....BECAUSE----today was the first day of Spring Soccer games.   Yeah, practice can be (and IS) fun....but games are THE BEST!  I didn't even have to ask them to smile for this photo! 

Here is an action shot of Bradley.  His game was first.  I've coached 2 teams before and have never had to miss warm ups for the second game before so it NEVER EVEN crossed my mind that since Bradley and Andrew's games were back to back, I would need to get someone to warm my younger team up and at least stay with them and keep them together.....oops!  I told Andrew's team to be at the fields at 1:15 and I, myself, wasn't even there until 1:35!!!! 

Bradley scored a goal in his game!!!!  They lost, though 5-2.  We have some real talent on that team, just have to figure out how to use it and spread it out....at the end of the first half it was 1-0, either the other team really adjusted or our half time changes failed.  I think the players learned a lesson today....hopefully they learned that I know what I am talking about.  I had a line up of strength spread throughout the field for the first half, but all the "strong" (also older) players wanted to all play up front as forwards and another very strong, smart player volunteered to play goalie.....leaving us WEAK in the defense.  They scored 3 quick goals.  We were defeated after that.  Also, I played "tough" coach by benching two different players who refused to play defense when I told them to (one was Bradley).  I want soccer to be fun for ALL of them...but NOT EVERYONE can play forward every minute of every game. 

Here is Andrew taking a corner kick.  It was a great kick and Andrew played well.  His team lost, though, 4-0.....and it was ROUGH, like my team was ALL OVER the place, not knowing what to do AT ALL....I have a lot of work cut out for me!!!!!

I don't like that piece of hair on my forhead in this photo...but here I am untying Andrew's shoe.  Both of my kids need new cleats, both of them had hurt feet after their games today.  You cant tell, but I am wearing my Sharks shirt....cuz our team name is the SHARKS.  (It wasn't lucky, though....should I try my Canadiens shirt next week?????  (I might!!!))

This one is out of order, but here is another pic of Bradley in action.

Cub Scouts like art

I wanted to have the scouts do a paint by number art project today but all the projects in the store were very complicated and too expensive, so I got stain glass window type of geometric shape coloring sheets.  We also went over our skit and made invitations to the Pack Meeting next week.

I hate burns

Yesterday Andrew fell over in the chair at the computer desk and somehow in falling or getting up he put his hand up against the wood burning stove and got burned.  Here is his hand today...ouch!  But he is tough! 

New Back Door

I don't think anyone will care about this post except maybe Melanee and my dad or maybe no one...but we got a new back door yesterday.....our kitchen is A LOT darker now...but our house will stay warmer and it is safer not to have that big glass window in the door (should have taken a BEFORE picture). 

* always take before pictures when doing home improvements!

Sharks Win

Logan Couture

I had a headache, had to coach at practice, and cook dinner, but I still got to see about 2/3rds of the Sharks game tonight and it was EXCITING....the Sharks scored two goals in the 3rd period...Logan Couture got the game winner, his 8th game winner of the season, breaking a record for rookie game winners!  (<---english teachers would not APPROVE of that sentance!!!)

Melanee and Jessica somehow knew the little kid in the most recent contest was Logan Couture...how could you tell???  Impressive!!!! 

Did you know that there is a hockey tradition that one time each season the "rookies" pay for dinner for the whole team.  Well, that dinner took place for the Sharks when they were in Boston.  Logan Couture, McCarthy, and Joslin had to foot the bill...which came to over $15,000!!!!!  None of their credit cards had that much of a limit, in fact they didn't even have enough space on their credit cards to pay 1/3rd of the bill, so Douglas Murray paid and they promised to repay him...but my question is----what did they ORDER????  $15,000 is like $500 per person!!!!  That's a lot of steak....but I know the tip is a part of it...and renting out a big portion of the restaurant is a part of the charge....bet they also spend some on some exotic wines or alcohol???!!!???!!!  (Lucky for Benn Ferrieo....he was sent to the minors that morning!!!!!, so avoided that bill!!!!!!....unlucky for him, though, was that the Sharks were able to take a special tour of the National Archives below the US Capitol Building yesterday...because Benn Ferrieo's cousin is in charge of the Archives.....and he wasn't even able to be there for the one of a kind tour which he set up!!!!)

Butter

This is for Gina-  Thought of you 3 times in the past few days....all because of BUTTER.

First there was the KFC butter incident.  I bought some biscuits....asked for some butter to put on them...and the guy gave me "buttery spread"...no, that is NOT butter! 

The next one was the night we had corn on the cob.  Andrew got mad at me when he tasted that I had buttered his (to be nice)...he went to the sink and rinsed it OFF!!!

And yesterday we had baked potatoes....BAKED POTATOES...and Andrew said, "NO butter!"  WHAT!?!?!?!???!!!????  No butter on BAKED POTATOES!  WHAT!

Ann and Michelle, enjoy these!

 I cant get these side by side...but here is Bradley AFTER the hunt, edited for my friends!

Wooster...haha..I mean Worcester

The San Jose Sharks have a minor league affiliate "baby" Sharks team in Massachusetts.  Yesterday the Sharks played a morning game in Boston, so that evening some of the players who had played for the Worcester Sharks went to watch the game.  There was a little ceremony before the game and Joe Pavelski gave a speech.  Here they are in their dress clothes with their jerseys over the top, so CUTE.....Logan has been battling the flu, he sure looks SKINNY...or is that just because he is not wearing pads?  And Torrey is TINY, short!

And if you are curious, I'm sure you are NOT, the "baby" Sharks beat the "baby" Bruins by the same score as the Sharks/Bruins game earlier.  And the player who was the Back Up goalie for the Sharks went and Started and played in the evening game for the Worcester team.

Michelle, look away

I only blog these things for Randy and Richard to enjoy...I pretty much know that none of the rest of you appreciate these kind of pictures....but if you just look at that face....(Bradley's, not the ducks)....you can probably tell - that is ONE HAPPY BOY. 

Today was the Youth Hunt, meaning only kids could hunt.....the official final day of duck season......Scott took Bradley out and they were gone ALL DAY.  They had fun, too.  Andrew didn't want to go.  William is now too old for youth hunts.  So it was Brad and Dad day at the duck blind. 

William's basketball

Scott and Bradley had my camera with them hunting and I have no idea where the charger for my big camera is....so I don't have any photos....but I do want to blog about William's basketball game today.  They won 51-15.  I watched most of it and it was fun for me to see them destroy the other team...but when William got home I asked him if he had fun and he replied that it is more fun to play in a close, competitive game. 

He bruised up his knee pretty badly at track practice on Thursday.  He was running the bleachers (up and down, good exercise) and there are gaps...his leg went through a gap and hit his knee pretty severely on the way down.  He has been icing it.....but he was well enough to play basketball today.  I will try to get pictures next time.....they don't have a game next week because they are going snow camping, sounds COOOOOLD!

Sharks Saturday

Saturday is usually an early morning English Premiere League soccer day or a William's church basketball day...but today...this MORNING... was a HOCKEY day!  And it was my favorite kind of hockey day because the SHARKS won.  They shut out a strong Boston Bruins team.  Logan Couture got his 7th game winner and leads all NHL rookies and all his teammates in goals scored.   

I couldn't take any photos off of the Sharks web site because they are protected somehow...but I found this on the Bruins site....and stole it right off of there by one right click of my mouse! 

In other hockey news, the Sharks minor league goalie, Alex "you can call me Al" Stalock "Lock Down"(all hockey players have nick names), who is set to be the goalie of the future for the Sharks got the nerve in the back of his knee SLICED by an opponents SKATE yesterday...can you say OUCH...and it is reported to be a "season ending" injury, but I say.....a goalie needs his knees and needs his nerves behind his knees...I don't think we will see him back as a big league goalie any time soon EVER. 

And I just read that Sidney Crosby MAY be back in March.... "may" that doesn't really tell us much, but he did go home to visit his parents....hockey players DON'T do just that randomly right in the middle of the season, so let's just say, he's out for a while!  Rest in Peace, guys....I mean really rest, like take it easy....not like R.I.P....the thing they say to people who have died.  Hope to see you both back on the ice soon.

Shot Gun Bruise

Bradley may have hunted a little too much today because he came home with these bruises along his arm....from the gun recoil.  Ouch!

In the news

William was in the newspaper today...no, he didn't do anything notorious...like rob a bank or find a dead body...but he was at a rally at his school for Aaron Rodgers.....ESPN camera crews were there too, so look for this sorry bunch of PV students during the game. 

Duck Hunting

I bet you thought duck season was over.  Well, it is....but the San Jose Sharks played the Aneheim Ducks last night and BEAT THEM....thus, my post title!  WOO HOO! 

Melanee called last night and said that she had "the best day EVER".  My response- oh, are you watchingthe SHARKS game, cuz they are WINNING!!!!  To which she told me that she DOESN'T EVEN WEAR her Sharks shirt....to which we both agreed that she better NOT start wearing it because it might be UNLUCKY! 

Her best day didn't revolve around anything the Sharks have been doing.  I couldn't exactly figure out which of 2 things caused her day to be the "best day ever"....but it was either a job she got for the summer (EFY counselor!!!!!) OR a date she went on with a boy she has a crush on.  Which do you think????  Let's vote....haha...I'll make a poll....look over on the right sidebar of my blog and VOTE, all of you!

Superstitions

I wore my Chicago Blackhawks shirt yesterday (because the Sharks lost the last time I wore my Canadiens' shirt).....and they WON!  They have another game tonight....do I wear the Blackhawks shirt again....or do you think that it doesn't matter WHAT shirt I wear.....do you think my shirt selection has NO bearing on how well or poorly the Sharks play????  UMMMMMMMM.........................


***I think I'm going to go put on the Blackhawks shirt....and I haven't even washed the "good luck" off of it!!!

5 unanswered goals

I just skimmed through my comments section....and SERIOUSLY all of you non sports/hockey fans need to get with it and start watching/liking hockey so that we can have something to talk about!!!!

I had a soccer board meeting tonight, so I had to leave the Sharks game....it was hard to do, but I knew that there is this little invention to help busy people like me called a VCR, so I stuck in a tape and left......William texted me about an hour into the meeting - "The Sharks are BAD", "They benched the goalie", "the nubs are in".....so I knew the game was out of hand....but I still rushed home to watch the end.  When I got home the score was 3-1, but the Sharks quickly scored a goal, making it 3-2.....the finals score was Sharks 5 - Yotes 3....AND my favorite player Patrick Marleau scored the game winner on a short handed break away!!!  And tonight was Patrick Marleau's ceremony and celebration for his 1,000th game, so his parents and family were there....his kiddies are SO adorable, his wife, not so much!  She's a young looking beautiful blonde chick and she didn't smile during the ceremony and wasn't very good at holding the child she had in her arms...finally Patty held the kid and it was SO cute...hope I can find a picture of it somewhere to show all of you!!!! 

Anyway, as a soccer board, we voted to raise the registration fees $10, I only raised my hand in agreement to get out of the meeting faster to get home to my Sharkies game.  Sorry soccer people! 

Lunchtime

I had my camera at school today....Andrew didn't want me to take a picture for the blog, can you tell???

no more time

The busy part of my year just began (again)....soccer season.  Yes, I am coaching TWO teams, I still do cub scouts, and I am going to try to make it to watch all of William's track meets.  So, as you can probably tell, the afternoons of sitting on the couch reading a book or watching the Disney channel are OVER!

Unless you want to read about soccer practice this and soccer practice that.....I should probably stop blogging for a while now too!
