April - RUN GHOULIES RUN!!! (Page 24)

They allow practice on a field but not a game?  Or do you practice on an area that is not actually a soccer field?

We don't practice on the soccer fields. The fields lay low and have stayed wet. There is some grassy area that sits up on a hill in the park that most people have been practicing on. It is muddy, too, but not as muddy. Plus if we tear that area up it's not a big deal, if we tear the fields up they will be torn up for the rest of the season.

There is concern too, especially with the older kids, that kids could get injured. If you have a competitive game going on in the mud where kids have been losing shoes left and right you run the risk of injuring a knee or ankle. No on wants the kids to get hurt.

I get it now!  Good luck finding a dry enough spot for practice.  I bet the kids get hosed down after practice before they can come in the house!  LOL  or at least the moms wish they did

I had a blanket in the car I made my son sit on last night on the way home. He took his cleats off in the garage and headed straight for the shower.

LOL

Well, hello everyone! I am awake and coherent before...10 AM. Oh. I guess it's no treally that much of an unusual occurence. Dang. Excited over nothin'. LOL

So, more exciting news at my house--the drywall guy is here hanging drywall in the basement now!!!!! Yay!!!! It's been almost 8 weeks since the great "flood". hehehe. Splash is more like it...but it was from the sewer line, so , yeah....

Drywall!!!!! Yay!

HI!

So, that was fast. The drywall is all up, in one hour. Now back to the waiting game for the finish guys to come tape/texture... which really is kinda mostly ok, because we couldn't decide ona carpet, and it'll be anywhere from 2-4 weeks before the carpet gets picked out and arrives. It's just super exciting to have something happening with the reconstruction FINALLY.

Happy FFFF evening Ghoulies

Well, The grocery store was closed for a roof leak or some such. I could have gone in town but I didn't so I am not going back just for groceries.

Hardware store(S) didn't have what I was needing

So I got a mani-pedi and came home for a nap.

OOPs! Day got away from me. I'll double up tomorrow on workouts- to avoid calking and paint scraping if nothing else.

Have happy evenings all!

I know it's the weekend, but you guys did such a great job this morning that I need to ask for more juju.

My brother is a motorcycle mechanic and a tire exploded on him this evening. My sister called to tell me he was in the ER. It banged up his knee pretty good, it's swollen and he can't bend it, they're doing x-rays. He also ripped up a couple of fingers pretty bad and they aren't broken, but he may need surgery. Apprently when it exploded it lifted him completely off the ground and dropped him, so they are x-raying his neck and back, too.

prayers & juju headed your way.  I am glad it was not worse! 

Well, I did my run today after all.  And it went quite well. 

However, I ate more cookies....       ...... they are gone now ......

Ju ju on its way. Special for the weekend. No charge!

The cookies are calorie free. So says the running gods (and Dr Melindy, too!

Morning!

A lovely day of driving rain and tornado watches and flooding streams.

Ahh! Spring in the mountains.

Kendra- are you okay down there? The storms looked vicious there.

Hi Robin!

How have things been down there?

We've had wind up here and it just started raining. We are supposed to get strong storms tonight, but nothing like you guys are getting in the south.

Morning Ann!

W are having huge rains and wind, but not like some places. It looks like the real bad weather is heading up towards you. Hopefully it will miss you.

Morning Ghoulies.

I hope that everyone is surviving the storms okay.  I can't believe how many tornados this storm system spawned off.

I was lucky.  The worst of the storms were to the north and south of me.  My neighborhood got a lot of rain and wind, but we did not get the really bad lightning and hail.  We were in tornado watch and then warnings for most of the night.  It looks nice outside right now, I want this wind to blow all the pollen away.  My allergies are killing me.

Stay safe

Good thoughts and prayers for your brother!
