Wow...I can't believe it! I forgot to post anything on my blog this morning! My mother called and reminded me and until then I was totally out of sync.
That's what happens when you change your routine. This morning when I got in from the barn, I had to take Sarah to the school for a field trip. When I got home it was time to fix breakfast. I had a headache so I relaxed for a bit after breakfast and then realized I needed to get my column written. As soon as I started my column, the phone began ringing and my list of things to get done grew by leaps and bounds. Pretty soon I was begging for more time for my column and was out the door to run some errands. Forgetting all about my blog!
So...here we are....it's a beautiful morning, or what's left of it, on the Knolltop. JW's team lost both games last night. But that has been overshadowed by JW's excitement about motorcycle school. I'm not even going there!
Schedules are a good thing if you actually read them. Yesterday I said in my post that I had to provide food for the baseball team last night. Well, yesterday I ran to the store to pick up a few things then I donned my apron and baked sweetrolls, chocolate cake and rice crispy treats for the kids. After chores I loaded up the van with all the food and headed to the game only to find out that my day to provide the meal is Monday not yesterday! The lady that so carefully planned and typed out the schedule looked at me in disbelief. I apologized to her for not paying attention. I felt bad because when she made out the schedule, I'm sure she was counting on competent adults to actually read and follow the directions. But then there's me. The one who thinks she knows what she's doing and most of the time doesn't!
Oh well, I told her it was better to have too much food than to not have enough.
And finally, Beth saw JW's picture on the front of the Farmers' Advance. Yes, I wrote that article, and whenever I write a story where any of my family is involved, I always ask Erin not to put my by-line on it. I forgot to ask and my by-line was on it...and I'm sure there are lots of parents out there who are chatting about Melissa Hart promoting her own son! Oh well. Life goes on!
