Piece of Wood

RIDDLE - What do you call a piece of wood with nothing to do?
(Answer at the end of the post....)

I got my lesson planning basically done. Of course, there are supplies to be gathered and changes to be made. But the assignment sheets are done through the end of 2008. Go me!

Today was the first soccer practice for Suzy's team. Since I am the coach, this falls to me to organize. David, Emily, and James helped me and it went smoothly. I had a parent meeting first and then a short practice afterward. The parents all sat and watched then, which freaked me out a bit. lol Several really strong players are on the team and just one who will need a lot of encouragement. Nine kids total - at this age, 6 are on the field (including the 1 goalie).

We went to a friend's house today - such fun! One other friend was there as well, and about 15 kids, I think. The grownups played Scene-It. We shoved food at the kids and they stayed busy with Guitar Hero, Webkinz, and Charlie Brown. It was a rainy day or they'd have been sent outside for much longer than they were.

Random Thought - Did you know I like to talk through movies? I've been told this is WRONG to do (lol, Jen!) but I just love to do it!

There was something else I wanted to post, but it's escaping me now.

OK, here's that riddle again....

The answer?
BOARD!!

ROFL! That came from a popsicle stick.

Tuesday Tidbits

Have been attempting some lesson planning. Updating Cornerstone blog with info on that.

Met a friend at the waterpark today and sent one kid home with her for the night. (One down!)

Taking the girls to their first Keepers at Home meeting tonight. Picking up a friend and her daughter on the way and taking them too. Emily is going home with a friend afterwards. (Two down!)

Need to think of something for dinner.

Need to get the camper cleaned up and popped back down, ready for our next trip! When will that be? Not sure yet.

Bob's CPAP machine arrived today. He has sleep apnea, recently diagnosed, and we are hoping this will make a big difference for him. During one of his recent sleep tests, he slept 3 hours out of 7-1/2 and he quit breathing 12 times. I'm hopeful that more sleep (and better quality) will make a big difference to his pain and cognitive abilities.

Off to do some lesson planning.....
