Life in the fast lane

This is the last week of fall sports and oh boy am I glad. It's been fun... it always is... but by the end I just cannot wait for a free Saturday. George is in budget season, which means he's gone most of the time, so I'm running this show on my own. This week we have soccer practice Tuesday and Friday, football practice Tuesday and Thursday. Saturday we have end-of season tournaments and the schedule goes like this:
8:00 a.m. Joshua - soccer game
10:00 a.m. Caleb - football game
11:00 a.m. Joshua - soccer game
12:30 p.m. Caleb - football party
4:00 p.m. Joshua - soccer championship game

Yes, there is only one of me. I'm still working on the clone. George is planning on going to work around 6 a.m., then driving out for the 10:00 football game. After the game he'll go back to work, then drive back for the 4:00 soccer championship. I need to find someone to attend the 11:00 soccer game so I can watch the entire football game. Any takers?

Also on that day, Sarah is going to a dance camp and Amy is going into Keizer to babysit Lis & Dan's kids. My life is nuts.

Ummm...a clone would be helpful.

But sooooo glad you found some time to post in between craziness!

Gigi was hinting she needed a little more from us on here, especially since the actual family letter appears to have vaporized...

Are you volunteering for the 11:00 game?

Oh my heavens, Darcy. We're still in the "stay in our pajamas eating pancakes until noon on Saturday and watch cartoons while Mommy drinks her third cup of coffee" phase. In fact, the streets are deserted here every weekend until at least noon. Now I am afraid to go back to America.

Let's see....3 more years til Amy can drive. At least you live in a fairly small town - or are the games elsewhere? Where's grandma & grandpa?

Darcy said...

This weekend the games are all in Dallas, but we've been on the road for football this year for the first time.

Grandma and Grandpa sleep in too late to come to early games and have to go to work too early to come to late games. They have a narrow window of opportunity.

Windy... no kidding. Stay in Europe as long as possible! Please note this schedule is only related to two children.

If I stay in Europe, will you guys airlift me some hummus in a refrigerated container (like an organ transplant container or something?) Send some wheat thins with it, ok?

Darcy said...

Hummus en route.

Do they have the dehydrated kind?

Wellll I suppose you've all figured out who has "stepped up to the plate"! :-) Grampa will go at 10 and get Josh to his field for his 11a game & IF I can get any decent enough sleep Friday night, I MIGHT be able to make it make the 11am slot. (Would LOVE to make ALL, "but"... at least we did get to see Caleb play once this season when he came to the nearby HS.) We didn't manage to get in on any of K,M or E's games this fall, sigh, though I did catch Monique & Emma's soccer practices earlier. Soo, IF I can come, that makes for TWO cars with an hours drive each -what Grandparenst won't do for their "kids"! mc
