Isn't that the truth!!!!!

Instead of sitting around watching a little tv tonight I'm vaccumming the house. For some reason I just can't not do something - I am an extreme multi-tasker!!!

After vacation I"m going to start relaxing in front of the tv again at 9pm. I enjoyed doing that last tv season.

I can't say I have the same 'problem'!!! :rotfl2:

Good Sunday morning everyone!!

I only have a few seconds to post because my girl friend and her family are coming over this afternoon. Before they come I have to get the house presentable :rolleyes:

I'm glad I came over here also...very nice group...made me feel very welcome!!

I'm glad you keep coming back - it's been great having you!!! :hug:

Thank goodness you're okay, Sandy!!! Make sure you do get some extra R&R.

I'm going to try after this test Tuesday.
How did you do on your state test?
Was it hard, or not to bad?
Would you say your class tests were easier or harder?

Oooooh...did you find out how you did already??? I was just thinking of that the other day!!

When you get a chance PM and I will let you know. Karen......if you would like to do the same, please do.

We leave on Thurs. (6:30am!!)!!! I am soooo looking forward to this!!!

How exciting!!!! :cool1:

We are leaving a week after you :teeth:

What are your plans for when you are there? If you already posted, I'm sorry :blush:

Well, I gotta run and get ready for my friends visit - have a good day today!!! :wave:

Thanks!!!!

She had a good game today She didn't make any goals, but she held her own, and showed all those big kids that even though she's small, she's mighty

I hope you have fun at your picnic tonight Our soccer league doesn't do anything like that. It would be nice if they did. It would be a good way to meet other parents.

I knew she'd be able to hold her own against the bigger kids! Way to go Stephanie! :cool1:

As far as the picnic goes....about half way there Matthew got very quiet. Then when we got there he said, "Mom, I'm car sick. Can we go back home." I told him we'd just sit in the truck for a few minutes and see if he felt better. Then he started crying and said he didn't want to go! :confused3

He ended up having what I would call an anxiety attack and sobbing! I talked to him and he calmed down but he still didn't want to go. We could see the back yard from the truck and the kids were kicking a soccer ball and jumping on a trampoline and it looked like they were having a lot of fun. I asked him if he wanted to quit the soccer team and he said no, that he just didn't want to go to the picnic. I got out of the truck and went to talk to the coach and the mom that was hosting the picnic, only telling them that Matthew was car sick. While I was talking to the mom, the coach came over and talked to Matthew and all he told the coach was that he was car sick. Then the mom came out to the truck and asked him if he felt well enough to come in and sign something for the coach. We went in through the front door to avoid the other kids, Matthew signed it and then he asked if we could go home. I made our apologies and then we left.

After we left I asked him if he felt well enough for me to drive by a house that is for sale. Friends of ours are looking for a house and I told them I'd take a drive by it to see if it was worth their time to come out to see. We drove around these mountain roads for an hour and a half looking for different houses for sale - and Matthew never got car sick again.

What do you guys think?? Should I have forced him to go or did I do the right thing by doing what he asked? We went through a big anxiety issue, especially seperation anxiety, after 9/11 and even getting him to play on a soccer team then was a miracle. But we haven't had any of those issues for quite a while. Now that he's a little older (12) I'm just not sure if I did the right thing by letting him avoid the situation that made him anxious.

As far as the picnic idea goes - our teams usually have a picnic or go for pizza and give out trophies after the last game. This coach said that he likes to do the picnic at the beginning of the season so the kids and parents get a chance to meet each other and then do trophies right after the last game. I really like the idea.

I think little things like that (a cut-off time of 9 p.m. for example) will help a lot. But you not only have to stop doing the vaccuming, or whatever, you also have to stop thinking about doing them!

Sandy - I just can't imagine your house ever not being presentable. Just from talking to you here I can picture you having the type of house that someone could drop in anytime and your house would look great! Me, on the other hand, well, I'm a different story! :lmao:

I need three weeks notice to have dinner guests! :lmao:

Hope you have fun with your friend and her family!
