Profound... or not

I have lots of profound thoughts. The problem is they don't usually come to me when I'm sitting here all strung-out from my hectic days. Profundity usually comes when I'm staring at the same plastic part as minute after endless minute turns into hours of dullness.

Lately my assignments have either involved working with another person closely or rapid tasks that don't allow any time for note-taking. The upshot is that my astuteness is locked in my brain and doesn't get to come out and play. Then again, maybe that's for the best! :-)

So, once again you just get the play-by-play.

Co-op went well. Only one more and then we're done for the school year.

I've been buying up some used curriculum in preparation for next year, going on faith that we'll still be able to home educate.

Three soccer games today. (David did not have one scheduled.) All the teams won. Suzy scored two goals and made two assists. She loves playing! Such a change from the first year she played. James played solidly - one quarter he was goalie and blocked the one shot that came at him. Emily played. She runs and runs but doesn't take many chances. I want to work with her on aggressiveness.

We went to a rummage sale, two libraries, a playground, and the post office. We did some cleaning up around the house and outside. The weather is mid-70's and has been sunny and overcast alternately. LOVELY!

David is sick today with a fever and headache. He is feeling better now, but that may just be the ibuprofen. Thus, he did not go any of the above places with us. He stayed home by himself for a while, and for a while Bob stayed with him. It's a good thing he did not have a scheduled game, because he would have either had to forego playing or he would have played sick. What a choice that would have been at 7:30 this morning.

We're going to have pizza now and soon we'll watch a movie. I borrowed several from the libraries - Sense and Sensibility (Austen!), Carrotblanca (Bugs Bunny!), Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Barbie Birthday Party, The Nanny Diaries.

Have been waiting FOREVER for Dan In Real Life to come through interlibrary loan. What are some other good movies that may have come out recently on DVD?
