A New Entry?
Ahhh...my poor neglected little site. I may put you up for adoption with a little tag that says, "Owner had no time for a blog."
Since we got back from vacation, we were busy preparing for The Senator's birthday party. We rented this:
Big. Hit. It was so much fun we kept it for two days. The neighbor kids came down to play, and even The VP and I had some fun. I'll just leave it at that.
The Senator got a lot of cool new toys with lots and lots of little tiny parts that will no doubt end up in the vaccuum cleaner by the end of the month. The Governor got a few new things as well, courtesy of some thoughtful grandparents.
Other Outpost news: The Senator starts kindergarten next week. I'm not ready. (Although it could mean some free time spent blogging.) I just wish I had another month to goof off with him. There's so much we didn't get to do this summer. I suppose it could be worse. The east coast military boarding school we're considering for The Governor offered us a discount for enrolling another child. Tempting...but no.
Finished another soccer league Friday night with a crushing defeat over an arrogant pack of brats. Not only did we come from behind, but we were short-handed for most of the first half. I love it when the opponent starts out condescendingly smug and ends the game yelling obscenities at each other because they can't believe they're getting beat by a team they thought they would wipe all over the field. Makes shaking hands at the end so sweet. Most of the time you slap hands and say, "Good game." I like to sprinkle in a few comments like, "Oooh. Too bad about that botched cross in the last minute," or "Gee, you missed that shot by inches!" I like to send 'em home feeling good.
Well, I could type more, but it's already taken me two hours to get this much down. Now the phone is ringing again...take the baseball bat away from The Governor...feed The Senator...washing machine finished - transfer clothes...let dogs out...take digital camera away from The Governor...break up fight in kitchen...clean spilled cereal...answer phone again...
If anyone needs me, I'll be out in the woods screaming.

Are you sure that's far enough away? Have you looked into the Foreign Legion?
