My life is almost mine again!

I am nearing the end of the nightmare that is spring soccer organization. I still have a few ref that need to come pick up their gear, but most of the headache is over. Fields are reserved, coaches are found, teams are organized, jerseys are delivered, equipment is handed out, refs are trained, rosters are typed, rules are posted, money is counted, schedules are made, candy for the snack shack is purchased, the snow has stopped, and my brain is fried. Now I remember why I don't like to run spring soccer. Remind me next year, will you.

We are due for another adoption home study. I can't believe it's been a whole year since the last one. Our caseworker is coming on April 23rd. Since we'll be gone for spring break next week, I thought I'd get a bit of a head start digging out of the hole. Then the vacuum cleaner broke. And the steam cleaner I use for floors and bathrooms. OK, I guess I won't get a head start. Maybe we're just destined to live in a messy house. Sigh.

Had a little bit of free time yesterday before I had to head to the book fair to help with the take-down, so Justin and I made Easter treats. He had a lot of fun, and honestly, so did I. It was a nice break. Don't you just love the concentration on his face: Here he is showing off the completed nests: Tyler first soccer game of the season was Tuesday. We were lucky because that day happened to be the most beautiful day we've had in weeks. Sunny and warm, no wind. Perfect. It only lasted a day though, yesterday the temperature plummeted and it is cold and rainy today too. But we sure enjoyed our one day of bliss.

Spencer's first baseball game is this evening and I can tell it will be miserable. It is cold, wet, and rainy. I'm thinking I might need to take some hot chocolate. Sheesh!! Thank goodness he has a pair of under armor. I wish we all had some!
