The Weekend

Well, our weekends now consist of soccer on Saturdays, which is so much fun and I get more into it than I ever imagined. Sundays, which is supposed to be Sunday Funday, are now errand days and catching up with the housecleaning. Not very exciting. The Geckos tied this weekend for the first time. It was such an exciting game and Peyton got to play against his friend Magnus from school. They were so close to winning but the other team put a goalie in so our last goal didn't quite make it in. Tieing is just as good though since we're not supposed to be keeping score! I never knew the state of my competitiveness until soccer. It's almost embarrasing how much I'm yelling and jumping on the sidelines. Thank goodness he's not a teenager or he'd be horrified! :) I just love watching the kids. You can tell how much fun they are having and truly that's whats most important. Even though I'm really keeping score in my head.

Now, onto Sunday. I've been doing a lot of overtime lately for a new broker that moved to Merrill and with that, comes my kids. During the week I can stay but on the weekends they have to come with me. They've been really patient but today you can tell they were over it. I happened to have the camera in the car from soccer and Peyton looked like he just couldn't take it anymore. I just had to put a few hours in then we headed over to Jens for a playdate with the kids and girl talk with Danielle. This turned into a whole afternoon of gabbing, with the guys joining us into the early evening because we just weren't done. I feel like it was so rewarding, almost theraputic. It's true what they say, Woman need girlfriends. It's a fact of life. We need to cry on each others shoulders, laugh at our most embarrasing moments, and ask for the upmost honest advice. Sometimes friends like these are hard to come by but I know I'm lucky enough to have a few. Carly, Court, Jen and Danielle, here's my little shout out to you!

On a different note Jewel is just a few days away and I CAN'T WAIT!!! Notice I've mixed her music in. As I've said before it's a date that I've been waiting 4 years for and I know we'll have a blast.

And on another CRAZY note, Randy just called to tell me that he got in a fight at the San Diego Chargers game. Kind of wierd and completely out of his element but he's okay and I'm shocked. He's never done something like this so I know he had to be pushed to his limits. Way to end the weekend with a bang!
