Teenagers and tornados

Most of my friends have little kids and it is great to hear about all the fun things they do with them. Mom's may seem tired but they are ok with it. Now me I am just beat. We had a nice little break there with only Girl Scout and Boy Scout stuff. Admittedly there was a lot of that stuff but at least most of it was stuff that could be done at home. But now we are in back in the soccer crunch. Our week has consisted of A Girl scout cookie booth, hiking with boyscouts, Soccer Game, awards night at Taryn's school, dentist appt for me today, and a another Soccer game Saturday. We were supposed to have Soccer practice tonight but thankfully it was cancelled. I have fun at a few of these but mostly if is a lot of waiting in the cold. I know you all think California doesn't get cold but hey it was in the low 40's last night. And when you are standing on the sidelines thats cold. I just wish that my activites with the kids were more enjoyable for me sometimes. Driving all over creation in cruddy traffic is not cutting it.
They grow up so fast I know I should enjoy every minute that I have with them now but I also work 40 hours a week spend another 10 hours commuting I just want sometime to sitt on my a-- and veg.

UUGGHHH grouchy post here oh well thats what happens

Good day to all.

Kool-Aid, Cell Phones and Hiking in the canyons

Well twice in less than a week, to bad no one is probably following this anymore.
This weekend we learned two very important lessons. One> Cell phones do not like Kool Aid, honestly I would love to say that my kids did it but really it was all my fault. We were going hiking with Zack's Boy Scout Pack and I stuffed my purse with my cell phone into the bottom of a little back pack and then proceeded to put a couple water bottle filled with Kool Aid and Juice into. All were closed and so I didn't anything of it when I put it onto the floor of the car for the ride. But the water bottles have a push button release and sometime in the ride the bag fell over the button got pushed and Kool-aid spilled all over the inside of a water proof back pack soaking my phone. The only thing I can say is that I was lucky and smart. I did get the insurance last time I bought my phone and the phone will turn on so I can at least write down all my contact info.
Two> Hiking in canyons with two asthmatics for three hours should either be done not at all or at least more than once a year. Poor Taryn and I are still recovering. We had lots of fun. I will have to attach some of the pictures Taryn took on her phone since my phone wasn't working. ( See above)
All and all we had a great weekend and learned things about our selves. Like if you have a bad knee / ankle you will always step into the holes in the trail with that foot.

Hope some one actually reads this and that they don't block it to soon.

For now Bye

New Record

Wow I think I have done it for the most boring least updated blog. Seeing as it has been almost a year since I last posted. But there is a reason. First my office usually blocks all blogs so even if I can see other peoples occasionaly I can not usually post (today is a fluke)and Second we got a new PC last year with VISTA and needless to say it hasn't worked right since a month or so after we hooked it up. No E-mail no, online shopping nothing that you have to log in for. Yikes actually I need to take in to the store to be cleaned out and updated with Windows 7.

Things are good here the kids have had a boring year of good grades and same old behavior. Both Kids played Soccer this year and though Taryn complained - A LOT she did pretty well as a defender and had a pretty good long kick. Her team went to playoffs but sadly they didn't go on any farther than the first round. Taryn twisted her ankle pretty bad and it turned purple and swelled up like a balloon. But she is fine now. Zack's team did ok but he still has bad luck of the draw with AYSO soccer picks and has gotten a really great team yet. He is now starting his second season with our City Rec teams and we are looking forward to his first game Saturday. Sadly I can not go since Taryn and I will be selling Girl Scout Cookies at a booth down by the beach at that time. Taryn's Girl Scout Troop will be going to Hawaii at the end of the month for a Three day vacation. The rest of the Family is really jealous and not wishing her fun on the trip. Just kidding we all want her to have a good time we just want to go too.

Other than that life is pretty boring it's all work scholl and driving to kid stuff for me. Reading lots of good books in the car waiting for things to be over. But the quite is nice and it isn't to cold. Sorry I know weather crack are not funny tothose suffering in Ohio.

Talk to you soon ( I hope)
