From One Thing to Another

1:40 AM Head hits pillow
7:09:00 Alarm goes off (Note that is less than 6 hours of sleep)
7:09:05 I hit snooze
7:15 Bob says, "What time were you planning to get up?"
7:19 I roll out of bed and start getting ready for the day of soccer games.
8:15 David, Emily, and I drive out of the driveway.
8:26 We arrive at the soccer fields and I push Emily out of the car.
8:33 I drop David at HIS soccer fields and head back to Emily's game.
8:45 I plop into my chair at Emily's game and sit back to watch her team win 8-5. She kicks the ball a couple times!
9:45 Emily and I head over to David's game where we watch the last half. I overhear a couple of fathers positively discussing David's soccer skills at the game and get a warm glow.
10:35 David trudges to the car, all upset because his team lost 7-2 (or something like that). I tell him what I have overheard but he doesn't cheer up.
10:45 Arrive at the optician and get the bad news that because of our insurance changes, Emily has fewer choices for covered glasses. I decide to wait until I talk to the opthamologist before ordering replacement glasses for her. (Hers are broken and repaired with tape.)
11:05 Arrive at the library (in the soccer town) and go to their book sale, where I find a few things. Sign out several DVDs and books.
11:30 Arrive back at the soccer fields to watch the last quarter of Suzy's game. (Bob brought Suzy and James to the field.) Her team lost and she was upset, but she played well regardless.
11:50 Hop back into the car and go looking for garage sales, which are harder to find than I imagined they would be. Give the kids sandwiches that Bob made. Stop for gas (eek! $3.83!) Drive around some more. (Promised the kids garage saling for whomever helps with soccer field cleanup at 2:30.) Bob leaves and goes back home for some alone time.
1:15 Arrive BACK at the soccer fields for James' game. Score 3-1 our favor. His coach complimented him on his playing today.
2:30 Start emptying the trash cans and collecting the signs at the field. (Our volunteer contribution)
3:00 Leave the field and head to the grocery store.
3:45 Leave the grocery store and find more garage sales. Give the kids fudgesicles.
4:30 Stop at the pharmacy and then find more garage sales.
About 5:00 - Arrive home and unload the car.
5:10 - Pour a Diet Coke and sit at the computer, ignoring the fact that the house is a wreck and that all the kids are filthy. Watch the kids rollerblading on new rollerblades ($1) and playing new plug and play video game ($2) and sorting through large bin of nail polish and fripperies ($1 and free). Listen to David mowing the lawn.

The rest of the evening will involve:

• Baths for everyone
• Laying out church clothes
• Heating up frozen pizza (unless Bob plans to cook out)
• Doing some speed-cleaning (everybody)
• A movie for the kids (if they are quick)
• or early bedtime (if they aren't)
• Dan In Real Life DVD for me

Supposed to rain all day tomorrow. Sounds like a good day for SPEED RACER. lol
