No Breaking News

It's been pretty boring around here the past couple days. Here's a few of the high lights or low lights depending on how desperate you are for news:

Mariah was home sick for 2 days with a cold. She missed the last Girl Scout meeting of the year. Bummer!

I had migraines with the last two systems that moved thru - Saturday and Monday. But they weren't too bad. Just enough to interfere with my plans. Pre-meds, these would have been doozies. So I think the stuff is working. I'll take 4 hrs of intense headache over 12 hrs of unbelievable pain & misery.

Mike was the soccer coach for Taryn & Indy's team last night. They won 2-0! Taryn played forward and mid-field. Mike says she played well with a couple break aways and shots on goal. Indy was a forward for the first half and Mike was evil and put her in the box for the second half. She is limping today. She said her knee felt like it needed to pop last night. They have another game tonight and Mike will coach again. Both are make up games from one of the 5 rained out games (aka The Season That Never Was). Indy has to work tonight and since her knee is messed up she probably wouldn't be playing anyway. Taryn will have to zip around for the both of them.

I'm going to the preschool tomorrow. It's the last day of the year for them, and it's the traditional Pizza Day. Everyone is so excited; well, the kids are anyway! :) I remember one year, the 2 yr olds ate so much pizza we ran out (one guy ate half a pizza by himself) and we had to make an emergency run for more so the 5 yr olds could eat!! Hopefully, they'll ration the slices this year. By the way, the Disney Day was busy, but lots of fun. We made Mickey Mouse pictures and they took so long, there wasn't time to do anything else. But I left Kay's ideas to follow up. We decorated the walls with their coloring pages and their Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse works of art. We glitter glued the ears, and after nap time we applied puff balls to the hair bows and dresses for our 4 Minnie's and to the bowties for our 3 Mickey's. Then kids got creative and made earrings, mouths, noses, etc., with them too. It was very cute, but I discovered that anything involving glue cannot be done as a group project because as soon as you turn your back to give something to one child another takes the cap off the glue and empties the entire bottle onto the paper. That happened twice - not the same kid, but wow, what a mess. I ran out of diaper wipes cleaning it up. I think it took the entire weekend for the glue to dry. I had to ask the director to go back in before the teacher returned to hang them up! But it all turned out great, because I got a phone call from the teacher saying what a wonderful surprise she had! All the kids were so excited to surprise her in their Disney costumes and t-shirts and to show her the room with their coloring pages and Mickey and Minnie's everywhere. She said it was neat to return to and the kids reporting having had a great time. I did too. Note to me though: Only craft projects using glue sticks for two year olds.

Only 5 1/2 days left of school!!!! Then we leave for St. Augustine, Florida!!! It's been a really long time since we all got to vacation together, and never at a beach during suntanning season!! We can't wait!
