The weekend

 This weekend included Dingo's birthday party at Miller Swim School, a big CampFire event at Camp Okiwanee, a walk through Gilcrease Museum, an afternoon of minigolf and shopping, and an outing to see the Green Country Roller Girls get whipped in a very violent and exciting match with the NW Arkansas Killbillies.  Aside from everyone recovering from the flu, that's the last few days for us. 

Aaaaaaaagh!

I signed Dingo up for soccer at the local parks department and have been waiting to hear from his coach to find out when practices start.  Well, the reason I hadn't heard from anyone is that they didn't yet HAVE a coach, but rather were calling around to the parents to see who would do it and you know me, I can't say no, so I guess I'm now coaching a soccer team of 6 and 7 year olds.   As if I weren't busy enough.

I played soccer the whole time I was in school, so I'm familiar with it, but dang, that was a long time ago, plus I'm not sure I'm that great working with kids.  Fortunately my Mom, who coached and played back in the day, has agreed to help, so we're both going to get certified this week.    I had to pick team colors already and they want me to think of a name, which I suck at, so I'm going to call around to the parents and see if I can get everyone's emails and take suggestions for a name.  I picked light blue as our team color, btw, since it's Dingo's favorite.  

And apropos of nothing...even though I've gotten some random exercise, I haven't been to the gym in a week because of sick kids and crazy schedule, but I have my workout clothes in the car and cannot WAIT to get to the gym after work.  I don't feel good when I don't go.
