Hello & Happy Monday!
Cat and I had our 2nd soccer game yesterday and we WON, again! The score was 3-2. Unfortunately, the 2nd point they made was a direct result of me :( I didn’t pick up the ball, but I sure wanted to! I was in the goal (our goalie was out of it for some reason …) and I actually knelt down to pick the darn thing up as it rolled towards me! I managed to wake myself up before I actually grabbed it, but holy mackerel what was I thinking! I could hear Caitlyn screaming from the sidelines “NOOOOoooo Don’t Pick It Up Mooommmaaa” like it was slow motion. She didn’t actually scream it, but I swore I heard it :) Our “coach” is quite “direct” and I am pretty sure she would have kicked my a## if I had picked it up so I think I didn’t do it more out of fear than actual skill. She scares me and has no time for “girls”. I got my first foul … I tripped a girl. I hate to say that I did it on purpose, but I did. I am surprised at my aggressiveness on the field/court :) She got me back later though … my knees are now bruised from falling on the gym floor. I pretty much ache from the knees down. It’s a good thing I sit in a chair for a living and I have five days to recoup before painting the dining room :)
Dan didn’t come to the game this time … he stayed home and pulled wallpaper off of our bathroom wall. We have a pretty big bathroom and its completely covered in hunter green wallpaper. He got a lot down and he even took the wallpaper down in the dining room (next weekends project). The wallpaper in the dining room came down in full sheets … he was feeling pretty good about that so he started on our bathroom. Let’s just say that the bathroom did not come down in full sheets. More like little triangles … lots of little triangles. He got a lot done and I am so thankful that he did it :) One of the best parts of painting the house is that we’re spring cleaning each room as we go through it. Its working out quite well. The weekend of the 6th we are scheduled to paint the entry of our house … I happened to notice that those walls are about 30 feet tall!!! We have a ladder that Dan says will reach that high, but there is NO WAY I am climbing 30ft AND painting with a roller and brush. We’ll have to see how that one goes …. Yowsa! It reminds me of when Dan was putting Christmas lights on the house the first year we were there… he tied a rope to the front of the suburban and strung it across the top of the house so he would have something to hold onto as he climbed on the A frame … our entire neighborhood ended up watching him and hoping he didn’t fall. After much pleading he finally got down and we agreed that we didn’t really need the lights on that part of the house. Unfortunately, we are going to have to paint these inside walls and I don’t think they make extenders that long :) That weekend project should make for a very interesting note :)
Have a great week!
Heidi, Dan and Cat
