The Saturday 7

1. Soccer is life lately. This week, Justin had four games and Lena had three. Levi had two practices and a game. I had an event at school on Friday, plus I had to make 122 root beer floats for students on Thursday. Oh, and we had a garage sale this weekend. I'm just so tired. And gas is $5 a gallon, and most of Justin and Lena's soccer games are 30 minutes to an hour away.  You can't even imagine how excited he was when he took his jersey out of the package. Lol. I actually got quite sunburned at that game.  And then a few days later, they played in the pouring rain. I watched from the van. Levi tried to get out and use my umbrella, but it was a wee bit windy. 2. Last weekend, Lucy went to Celebravo - which is basically Christian prom for teens of any age, and not associated with any one school. Lucy wears a lot of baggy jeans and oversized sweatshirts, so it's always so drastic to see her dressed up! I hate how grown up it makes her look!! With her friend Sophia 3. Wh...

1. Exciting news: I was able to move my school library into a bigger space! A few years ago, we got downsized to make room for more classrooms, and I've been cramming 24-26 kids into this space for every library period: That's not a great picture, but you get the idea. However, we just hired a new Head of School and he thought it would be a better fit for him to take this room and me to take the former Head of School area. Check out all this space! I had my first library classes in the new room this week and it was such  an improvement! 2. An update on the floor saga: we paid to have the crack in Levi's wall repaired and were assured that it would prevent further water leakage . . . only for more water to cover his floor a month later. A technician came out and told me that it was a new problem that the warranty wouldn't fix. I pushed back a little and then Justin called and left an strongly worded voicemail. Eventually they sent out another technician who had much bett...

The Saturday "7" - Road Trip Edition!

Image
Whoa! It's been three weeks since my last blog entry! Oops! Sometimes I have nothing to say, and sometimes I forget it's Saturday, but I'm back and better than ever with an epic recap of our Spring Break Road Trip. Buckle up! As a refresher: we decided to go on a 4 day road-trip to some Midwest hot spots so Lucy could get in the last of her driving hours before her 16th birthday in May.  Day 1: Columbus, OH We left at 8:00 a.m. and Lucy drove us for two hours before I had to go to the bathroom. It's always me who has to go. This is one of the reasons I hate road trips. My bladder is the size of a pea. The drive to Columbus was supposed to take 5 hours, but it took more than 6 because of stops and because Lucy drives the speed limit. But we were prepared. The kids brought all kinds of things to entertain themselves, and I had gotten a few games to play. Downloaded Netflix shows and Fast Food Sign Bingo Crochet This game is called "Shotgun" and was a lot of fun!...
