What a fabulous night for playing soccer! The brisk wind and cool temperatures kept the mosquitoes at bay for most of the evening. Too bad my team couldn't find the net, even though we spent 99% of the time in front of their goal. Everything went over the top or hit the pipes. No luck. The other team scored on a penalty kick - their only shot on our goal for the entire 90 minutes. Our goalkeeper came out to take the ball away from their forward (she wasn't very good - should have been an easy pick-off) and he bumped her for good measure. She fell, whistle blew, and they score. Unbelievable. Our keeper felt bad. As well he should. Chump.
Ah well. Still, it was a perfect night to play.
The day wasn't too bad either. I took the boys to Lake Rebecca Park Reserve and met a friend and her son there. We ruled the playground for an hour or so, and then walked down to check out the beach. Big. Mistake.
The Senator took off his shoes and socks to go wading in the water. The frigid, chilly, dead fish-infested, smelly water. The Governor followed suit, but true to his nature, he made a direct path into the lake right up to his waist. Not to be outdone by his younger brother, The Senator then flings himself into deeper water...submersing himself up to his neck. The Governor returns to the beach to further amuse himself by picking up goose poop and flinging it into the water. The Senator picks up a dead sunfish. I think I'm going to have to look into buying one of those machines they use to irradiate beef. Blech.
We returned from the park to take yet another poll on the nap issue. The No Nap supporters were silent; Mom carried off yet another victory.
So now I'm back from soccer and trying to catch up on all the laundry, dishes, and general housekeeping I've neglected all week. I may surface again on Sunday.
Posted by Cathy at June 18, 2004 11:29 PMObviously the rout suffered by the No Nap party is due to the corruption engendered by inequitable financing. The only way to right this injustice is to have an FEC investigation into violations of the CFR, and to ensure public financing of political campaigns.
Posted by: aelfheld at June 19, 2004 09:40 AMDon't go giving the No Nappers any ideas! There is already whispering of PACs forming to help funnel money to the cause. George Soros and TH-Kerry have also indicated a willingness to help. Look for M. Moore to come out with "Fruit Snacks Withheld: A Documentary of Corrupt Parental Agendas."
