ABCs of Trip Reporting, Pt. 2-Life Can Be Crappy and Then You Move On (3/7)

good to listen to yourself!

it kind of does! Matchy matchy can go too far, it's good to mix it up.



Ok so here is the scoop as I know it today, which is not remotely final.

Poor Kendall's team has to "play in" to State cup, which they didn't expect to have to do. It's over the spring break for almost all the team. As a result, 3 families have trips planned and girls out. And 3 girls were already out due to injuries MAJOR drama has ensued. You can only imagine how Jeff's ex is dealing with the fact that some families scheduled vacation when this potentially could happen.

I really need to be at her game(s) to support her as it could be brutal and over before it starts based on all those factors. Because of the scheduling fiasco we aren't quite sure when the games are yet!

Here is what I do know.

Friday:

For sure: All day tradeshow for me till 6pm, I'll be wiped. Evan has some stuff that night but nothing Jeff can't handle.

Not sure: Kendall may have a state cup game that night, no idea where.

Saturday:
For sure: Eric has swim lessons. Kendall has a 1pm state cup game in Buckely.

Not sure: Evan is supposed to have a baseball game but we don't have the schedule yet.

Sunday:
For sure: My nephews bday party. He'll live if I miss.

Not sure: Kendall may have a state cup game, no clue on time or location.

Ideally she has her game Friday, Evan's baseball game is at 9 am and I head to Salem after the game in Buckley. That'd get me there around 6 I think? Not sure if I'd bring Eric or leave him so he can go to his cousin's party. Might let him pick.

If Ev's game is during K's I'll see if my folks can help. He'll live if I miss even though it's the first game of the season.

The wildcard is her game. If it's on Sunday, but later in the day, that's doable from Salem. If it's at 9am (which sadly yes, they do) then I have a real problem.

So...stay tuned! Sorry for all the detail but didn't want you to think I was blowing off figuring it out, I'm on hold (held hostage?) by 2 different teams/leagues lol

I CAN only imagine what kind of fumes she's cooking up over the parents who were "so irresponsible"... But that's for her to deal with as best she can.

I totally didn't think you were blowing it off. :rotfl: Sometimes these games are an in the moment deal as the season progresses, so absolutely no problem. It goes without saying that I would LOVE for you to be here, and have every confidence you're trying your darndest. But I know what it's like to be "held hostage" (that's my entire life right now) and it's a tough place to be for making plans. IN the end, it'll work out the way it's supposed to, and either way, we'll get to meet soon, I think. Keep working at it, we'll get there.
 
Liesa, I'm so glad you got some time to watch the Chinese acrobats. They awe me every time I see them perform.

You did great on your quest, and you got some great stuff and you did it in awe-inspiring time too.

They are truly amazing! It's mind boggling how body can DO that stuff! :worship:

It was definitely a quest to remember!! Lots of fun and some great little memories to bring home.

Thanks, so much everyone!! It really meant so much to our family for all your prayers and positive thoughts!!

Glenn- it is the one nearer- about an hour away in Forest Grove with the State Forestry Dept. I guess, as best as I understand it, he'll be looking at slopes on State lands and determining if they should be logged or not. In a nutshell. But, now, he is saying that the pay they are offering is pretty low; in fact, much lower than he anticipated, and is pretty bummed. Now, I'm wondering if he actually is considering looking some more. Hmmm...
 
Well, your last post has me confused as to whether I should congratulate you or to send more pixie dust that a better offer comes his way :confused3 so

CONGRATULATIONS!! :banana::banana: on the offer


And sending pixie dust and prayers :wizard::angel: that if this isn't "the" job, that the one that is meant for mike and your family is shown to you soon.

Tanya, I really don't know! He is being pretty quiet about it all, and perhaps he is just needing more time to digest and think about it all. He is definitely an internal processor- so as a few days of time goes by, I'll get a better feel for what he's thinking. Thanks so much for all your encouragement! Guess it's not over, until it's over.
 
First, CONGRATULATIONS!!!:yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:

I know Mike will know what to do. Sorry the offer was a little disappointing.
I missed so much :confused: I've been so busy, and then I didn't see some of the updates, sorry.:guilty:

So glad your call back was unfounded. God is good.

Cynthia, I hope it does work out for you to join us, it would be so fun to meet you - we'll understand if you can't :hug:

Back to our regularly scheduled TR:

I love your latest finds! The bell from Germany and the Mask are my favs, but I love that cross from Mexico the best.

Now, let me tell you about the Rice Cream. My family makes that for holidays, only it is called Glorified Rice. Except we put pineapple chunks in it and Marichino cherries on top. DSIS and I thoroughly enjoyed our Rice Cream at Epcot. :cloud9:

Thanks for taking time to write, even when you are so busy.
I was telling my hairdresser about your blog, and she says you need to write a book - I would agree, so here's my first pitch for that one. :goodvibes

So looking forward to Friday!!!:woohoo:
