you would think that the long weekend would bring about fun and frivolity.....but nope here it brings an endless stream of lacrosse games. Matthew is in a tournament so between the games and the volunteer shifts we are assigned there is not much time for anything else.
my ankle is still swollen and sore and i hobble everywhere. I went for my soccer coaching certification yesterday which was great except i had to stand on the sidelines for all the practical part which sucked and byt the end my foot was still swollen even more!!!
I go for a bone scan on friday so we will see what happens........
The house is moving oh so slowly, things weren't ready so other things had to be pushed back so still living in a mess.......
Matthew's birthday is coming up so i need to figure something out--shrek perhaps....
have a good week

this cracked me up.....too funny
WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE READY TO HAVE CHILDREN
MESS TESTS
smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.
TOY TEST
Obtain a 55-gallon box of LEGOs (or you may substitute roofing tacks). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night.
GROCERY STORE TEST
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.
DRESSING TEST
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all the arms stay inside.
FEEDING TEST
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.
NIGHT TEST
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00 p.m. begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 p.m. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 p.m. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen moreand sing these too until 4:00 a. m. Set alarm for 5:00 a.m. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.
INGENUITY TEST
Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and pot of paint, turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a Ping-Pong ball, and an empty box of Cocoa Puffs. Make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower .
AUTOMOBILE TEST
Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon/minivan. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a dime. Stick it into the cassette player. Take a family size package of chocolate chip cookies. Mash them into the back seat. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There, perfect.
PHYSICAL TEST (Women)
Obtain a large bean bag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months.
Now remove 10 of the beans.
PHYSICAL TEST (Men)
Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.
FINAL ASSIGNMENT
Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run wild. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.
that gave me quite the giggle---how true.....

This year is just wizzing by!
So I have had a bit of a setback.......apparently i have screwed my ankle up, can't really walk on it. Dr sent me for xrays and it is not broken-most likely tendon or ligament. Not really sure how i did it. Went running thursday night- took a step and owwwwwwwwwwwwww hurt but it went away and by sunday felt ok to try again. A bit into the run and oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww well that was the end of that--just call me hopalong.....that's what i get for trying to be active-back to sitting on my ass i guess.....
that's about it......
