I am hoping for an error in the sprinkler schedule, if the rain doesn't occur. But if it does rain, then pray for rain on Monday too, as that would then be the make up day.
And the baby doves are huge - no room for mom on the nest. They look rather vulture-like now. I am sure they will look better in a day or two when more feathers come in.
Maybe you can get him to cut yours while he's at it. ;)Quote:

There are more State Cup games this weekend - the fields where they are played drain well.
My one year old son decided to give me wake-up calls at 4:23 am and the final one at 5:23 am. He's cutting teeth so its a tough time to be a single parent ...;)
But my better half gets back tonight & I get to play golf both days this weekend but rain is in the forecast.
Thank Goodness for coffee and it is on me this morning. Caribou Mocha Java, my favorite.
Ahh Ohhhh ...I hear the pitter patter of little feet upstairs. Child #2 is awake.
Cartoon time.
Yep, sounds like the end of an era, but it must have been a pretty good era to stick with the same team and coach for so long. Probably a few farewell tears, I'd imagine (for the girls, I mean). Maybe you'll get to do it all again with grand kids. :eek:Quote:

We had one dad who threatened to sue, demand a refund, and go to another team next year because his daughter might not have been able to play after the second rescheduling. Whew. The guy didn't care a bit about any of the other girls. Well, he did sort-of calm down, and I think he realizes he was a jerk. But we managed to get a game time convenient for them, and now 2 other girls can't play. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Ya try to be nice........
Sounds like somebody from New Orleans. ;)Quote:

I saw a Sooner minivan in the parking lot today at the beach. That's a little unusual all the way down here, but it was all smashed up with tape on the sides and stuff. I was wondering if they drove all the way from Oklahoma like that or if it happened here and they're going to have to drive all the way back like that. Either way - not good.
I think it will hit later. I was the manager for the first 3 years, then got tired of it all. But we have a great group of parents. The coach has been great about picking thr players and the parents too.Quote:

NO broken bones Baja?Quote:

Five more days - but who is counting.
And the daughter got her Senior English paper back today. Her teacher is very strict on grading the papers - if you mess up one citation, it drops you a full letter grade, two citation errors costs you two letter grades. Between both of the Senior AP that this lady teachers, their were a few As, a few more Bs, a bunch of Cs and very few failing grades. The teacher had already told the daughter's class that everyone in there had passed. My daughter was hoping for a high C, but received an 88. Yeap, a citation error dropped her from a 98 to an 88 - and she was thrilled to get it. She beat out the kid ranked #6 in their class. Though she won't officially be told until Monday, it looks like no finals for her. (Geez, I always had to take my finals)
Thunder, enjoy your golf. I'll be sleeping in.
FORE!
For my 150th post on this thread, I have to wonder when it will receive its 10,000th viewer?

Oh, wait, since Baja will be out of school soon, that will skew the view frequency.
Better make that two days after Baja finishes this school year.
:D:D
Anyone seen anything on the Queen Mary 2? That is one big arsed boat. Since I have taken my first cruise recently, I have been looking at ships more closely. This is the biggest passenger ship ever built and is massive. It's around 1400 ft long. The wild thing is that I heard about another ship called the Freedom Ship. www.freedomship.com That thing will be 4000 feet long... yes, getting close to a mile. It will have an airport ON IT! It will be able to hold 100,000 passengers and will circle the globe every 3 years. You can purchase your own condo on the ship. Now that is a project.
Will it have a football field capable of hosting the BCS Championship game?
Wait, we have to go to Norman to get my daughter's classes scheduled. We will run up there on Saturday - that means no internet until we get back and run through graduation on Wednesay. So that will skew it the other way. :(Quote:
