You might want to start looking into local peewee leagues.<BR/><BR/>Angela, you are right, it is just a season, eventually you'll probably be back to no caffeine and a twice a day brushing habit. Remember, your life just got insane. You're wrong about one thing, though, I think you did have something funny to say.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012743668167432396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630132554196597332.post-48196281347546546872008-10-08T14:24:00.000-07:002008-10-08T14:24:00.000-07:00I don't have anything funny to say, darn it...But,...I don't have anything funny to say, darn it...<BR/>But, I'm not a soccer mom. Who has time for kids to find their own sport, when I can't even brush my own teeth? (theirs are brushed, just not mine YUCK!) Besides...It is stressing me out to decide when in my day to brush my teeth? Before the coffee? Yuck. After the coffee? When does that happen? Coffee is my constant companion these days... So..before bed seems to be a good time, if I'm awake enough. Lately, I've been doing it when I brush the kids teeth at 8 pm. I don't eat after that, so it works. And, i seem to remember learning in my health class in college that ONCE a day is good enough... normally that wouldn't work for me...but for this season of my life....it sounds pretty good. Just don't get close enough to smell my breath, unless you really like coffee... which i know you do.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04181218500760233960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630132554196597332.post-86357949774853043922008-10-06T09:47:00.000-07:002008-10-06T09:47:00.000-07:00Once I was surfing around iTunes and found a "...Once I was surfing around iTunes and found a "Soccer Mom" playlist. I opened it, ready to laugh condescendingly at the ridiculous "soft & light" songs "those" moms listened to. To my horror, I liked approximately 90% of the songs on the "Soccer Mom" playlist. Does this make me a "Soccer Mom" even though I have only one child who is not involved in soccer, or any other organized sport for that matter? In fact, she's not even all that coordinated. So how do I end up in this demographic, at least as far as iTunes is concerned? I should get the book I guess.Meaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409477242587113370noreply@blogger.com
