Right now I am sitting at the soccer field watching Birdie practice. The wind, it is strong. It has knocked Bairno over twice. Mog is out here and so is Princerella. I love days like these when the sun is shining and the sky is clear and beautiful, spotted with small cottony clouds. My car’s temp read 69 degrees on the drive over hear. Like I said, very nice.
I met another mom out here today. She approached me and asked about having four children. I told her there were two more at home with my hubby and she was thrilled to hear that. See, there is another family in town, Family O, they have eight children. This mom, Mom B, has seven children. She told me she had an 8th one but she died. So sad. But she was laughing happy to know there was another family in town with “lots of children”. See, I thought Family O and we were the only larger families in town; she thought Family O and they were the only larger families in town. Now we know there are three of us. Yep, you guessed it, this town is only big enough for the three of us. It will be quite the show Saturday morning at soccer with these three families out there: eight O children, seven B children, and six Smock children. Technically it will be 6, 5, and 6 respectively as they each have two grown at college.
DOINK!
Now I am home and waiting on the pizza delivery guy. Yes, I know, but as we were pulling back in the driveway SmockDaddy, Goro and Cowboy were leaving for the Boy Scout Pack meeting; Goro’s Webelo Den is tonight’s color guard. I see that Smockdaddy didn’t take the camera. I’ll have some more opportunities real soon, more meetings and the Blue and Gold Banquet is just around the corner. So pics another day of my boy all snazzed up in his uniform - he looked sharp tonight. All pressed and neat. His belt is full of loops, he has no room for the newer ones; he has to pick and choose these days. I put his new pins on his colors for him this afternoon, four to be exact. I am really proud of that boy.
DOINK!
My birthday is coming up soon too. This year it is extra special - it falls on Easter. The last time that happened was 1913 and it will not happen again until 2228. I don’t think I’ll be around then, even if I change a few eating habits and exercise every day. I guess if I had a few of Methuselah’s genes I could hang around until then, but I doubt it. I need to post more about my birthday; I’ve been having some thoughts on it, mostly good ones.
DOINK!
If Bairno cooperates with me tonight and let’s me get back on the computer later I am going to go ahead and put my new colors up tonight. Or maybe I’ll just wait until tomorrow. Blog365 day of rest is officially tomorrow, so we’ll see. Maybe I can stay away, but I can not stay off the computer, there is work to be done.
DOINK!
Pizza’s here. I am going to go stuff a little face and watch AI with my girls (I do not like AI so much, but they are begging me to watch with them). I will oblige. Tonight.
