I can remember those days well and I don't miss them one bit. Cold Saturday mornings running back and forth between two games. The years of softball and worst of all, swim meets. At swim meets we would sit in a humid, overheated pool arena, holding our winter gard and wait 45 minutes to see our daughter swim a 20 second heat. Wait another 30 minutes for more of the same.

And Girl Scout Cookies, Oy Vey!. My wife was the troop leader and our living room would be stacked high with cartons of cookies. Then high school meant band concerts, solo and ensemble festivals, orchestra concerts, and drama productions. It was tough then but now I can look back and smile about all of it.

Ed, your comments cracked me up!

No swimming, thankfully for us, as watching meets sound torturous, but we have already had a few plays and chorus performances and OH MY GOD, those are almost as bad as getting a root canal. For now, I am just hoping to make it through this soccer season....

My god Tracy - I am exhausted reading your Weekend itinerary! And you will have underpainted 7 canvases by Monday to boot? ..... I should be ashamed of myself.

P.S. I too am a reject ... just heard today and posted about it.

Hi Lesly, We got through Friday's schedule, although I did bail on the 3 mile walk. Exercise is always the first thing to go if I am the slightest bit busy.
