It's been a trying week, both physically and emotionally. I'm ready for the distraction of the weekend.
Last Saturday we spent the morning at 5-year-old soccer and then left from there for 12-year-old football in the afternoon. SO hot - humid - the sun overhead. You get it. Hot. Very hot.
Sunday there were two soccer games with the girls - also mid to upper 80s - no breeze. Tough afternoon.
Before I sound like I'm complaining, I do want to say that no one tied me up, threw me in the car, and made me go. I wanted to go. In fact, I'm about ready to do the same thing again this weekend (in about 15 minutes). The benefits far exceed the cost. BUT...
Last Sunday, I noticed that Kate (10-years-old) had a strange looking, purple spray bottle with a fan attached - so you could spray yourself with water - or use the battery operated fan - or both. PERFECT for these hot days.
"Kate, where did get the awesome gizmo???"
"I got it at Dick's - right by the checkout- and it's great!
"I'm going to get one before next week. It's a must-have! Fantastic idea!!"
Unfortunately, here it is Saturday - again - and I never got to Dick's. Bummer.
Fifteen minutes ago, my oldest son arrived with.... guess what?!?! You got it!
"Happy birthday, Mom! Julie put your name on it." (Grammie)
Is this the greatest thing ever!?!?!
I'm ready for this week's heated (get it?) competitions!
Gotta go. There's a football game in my very near future!
Catch you later!
