Alternatedly Titled: Which is worse?
Some—and I repeat—some of our summer obligations are winding to a close. Felicity had her last soccer game of the season on Wednesday…and then I went home, went online and signed her up for the fall session.
Crazy, much?
Cate wraps up the season this weekend with a tournament—no fall session for her, she didn’t ask and I didn’t push—and then it will just be baseball for the boys and a handful of piano lessons.
In other words, summer bliss.
or repeatedly taking pictures of the peeling paint on one’s front steps?
Yet—and yet—it is not always their choice that I leave their schedule open, as I discovered yesterday in the grocery store parking lot.
(We were making yet another trip to pick up milk and fresh produce.)
(I feel European, I go to the grocer’s so much!)
(“Bonjour, Monsieur.”)
(“Bonjour, Madame! ‘ere again for more fromage?”)
(“Oui!”)
Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, in the parking lot at the grocer’s, where I was scanning an email (because that’s what I do) from a friend that I haven’t seen in awhile. She’s been very busy, her message explained, doing crafts at Princess Camp for ballet, and chatting with her sisters in the evening.
I was smiling to read my sweet friend’s voice when suddenly…
“I missed Princess Camp?!!”
This was Angela reading over my shoulder. This was Angela, shaving a year off of my life.
Which is worse?
Ah, yes. I was just having this conversation with my 12 yr. old daughter after the soccer signup reminder for the Fall season just came in the mail. *sigh* It's all about balance isn't it? Btw, I love the girls' red, white, and blue outfits. 🙂
Lol!
Angela's dress is so cute.
what an adorable dress Angela is wearing! the girls and george are cute also 😉
