It seems that whenever I say I'm not going to do something, I find myself smack in the middle of it! Yesterday I stood under a tent in the pouring rain watching the first two games of Joshua's soccer tournament. The games were about a half hour each, with very little time between the first two, so I only spent an hour or so at the field, then came on home. I happened to sneeze which made my ribs start hurting, so I came back and used the moist heat which helped a lot. I had originally decided I wouldn't go, but I could not say no when those big beautiful brown eyes were watching me with expectation. It was always the same with my four kids who all got their dad's brown eyes.
We didn't do much else all day, and then went to Outback for dinner. I would have probably loved a steak but they give you way too much food to begin with, and I ordered chicken on the barbie! It was really tasty and the vegetables were done the way I love them - cooked only until slightly crunchy. Since I didn't have an appetizer, salad, dessert, etc., I ate everything on my plate and was just at the pleasantly full stage.
This week is supposed to be rainy off and on, but I need to sneak between the raindrops and clean and organize the inside of my car for the trip. My son says to not worry, he will help me, but I would like to have a fairly clean slate to start with. Right now I can't walk by the dining room without looking in on the 2000 pc. puzzle we've started. I can always find a distraction to take me away from what should be done!
Need I say I absolutely dread the trip back, and I never thought I'd ever reach the point of dreading a trip. It's going to be long, boring for the most part, and I don't know what kind of weather I will run into in the central part of the south. And I am already stressed about getting in and out of the Los Angeles area.
- Getting Rid Of Aches And Pains
I mentioned in a recent post that about a week after my falls my ribs started to hurt. I wrote to the chiro I will be seeing soon and asked if there is any alternative to taking meds, and he mentioned moist heat for 10 min. at a time. ...
- Am I Ready For The Road-trip?
Not just yet, but I think I can organize pretty quickly. This morning I bought a moist/dry heating pad. The old one I have at home isn't working any more and it's a good thing to have on hand. The moist heat feature means it is easier...

...and the foxes are nowhere in sight! I think my mental telepathy finally worked, and Mama was not seen today with any of her kits. The jeep was pulled up to the shed and the guys took the hard top off and put it into the shed. I went...
- Soccer Saturday
I'm "soccered out" for the week after attending the boys' games today. In between the games we went to Panera for lunch. I had a dynamite kale-chicken caesar's salad, and I will admit their food is good, but the ordering...

A big part of the weekend has been devoted to kids' soccer, and I'm all soccered out. If I didn't have to watch another practice or game for the next few years I'd be quite happy about it. Two kids equal two practices on Friday...
