Weekend Woos

Phil is currently training for ... The doorbell just rang. I caught a glimpse of a small blonde child running away as I opened the door. Apparently I've been Boo'd, a bag of goodies were left behind from my little "ghostie" friend. .... back to blog ....

Well, Phil's been training for an indoor mini triathelon. On Sunday midday he went to the Y to train. Unfortunately, he didn't leave with everything he went in with. His wallet was missing. On a normal day this would have been bad enough, but given that Phil had to catch a flight at 4:15 yesterday, it was really bad. We quickly called and cancelled all credit cards. He had his passport to fly with and we located one of the credit cards he doesn't carry but we haven't cancelled for his expenses. Fortunately, I have credit cards he doesn't, so we're not left without food and necessities while waiting for our debit card to be replaced.

In other Woo tales, Little Man has a book report due on Tuesday. So Sunday afternoon, he spent procrastinating, crying, throwing a fit, staring blankly out into space, I'm sure the list could go on forever. Finally he made progress and now just has to fill out the cards with the info. He could have finished the report at least 10 times with the amount of time he wasted.

My Woo tale isn't particularly wooful, just plain strange. Kristi and I were on our way back from our meeting when I noticed a red car pacing me. I turned to look and the person waved enthusiastically at me and as she pulled away I noticed she was driving a red Honda Fit. I've apparently joined a cult. Honda should put that in the brochure.

Lady Jane's woos are always plentiful. She's not crazy about playing soccer. We won't let her watch movies 24-7. Getting her hair brushed is awful. Life just plain sucks if you're Lady Jane. Fortunately, she has a friend coming over after school to play, so she's super excited, but I'm sure she'll find something that sucks about it. That's Daddy's girl.

The Plague

So far I'm the only one who has it and it really isn't the plague just a head cold, but it does suck. I'm plugging away though. I've had meetings every night this week, which is hard on the hip. But this past weekend we drove up to my hometown for my cousin's wedding which was a blast. I got to lead the bunny hop and dance with my niece and Lady Jane. Also not helpful to the hip. I've been doing research all this week since my head is filled with snot. I'm just hoping this will be gone soon. Tonight is drive Little Man all around creation night, gymnastics and soccer practice. And tomorrow night is nothing. Little yeah! However if someone calls us for dinner we will likely do that, but otherwise we have no plans. No plastic chairs to sit in. :) Sorry my head is still all sorts of foggy and this post kinda rambled, but it's better than nothing.

BTW

The Little Man's coach at soccer practice Thursday asked. "How do you like your Fit?" I had to chuckle a little.
