Pictures from last night’s game. Rader’s team won 5-2. It was a good game. Now, if I could just figure out why Rader runs like his feet weight 40lbs each…

Ian’s team is still practicing. No games until later. Maybe I’ll get out at practice this week and snap some pics of his team.

Last night, I finally saw In Her Shoes…I loved this movie. Gotta see it again. I also watched Derailed over the weekend. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I wanted to.

I leave you today with pictures of my hot-mama niece who is a kick-ass keeper for her team: 94 CASL Spartan Elite Red

5 years ago, I was pulling into the parking lot at work listening to NPR when they announced a single plane had hit the WTC.

Reports were unclear at first. It sounded as if it were a small plane, and though serious, there were no speculations of terrorism at the time.

I turned off my engine, strolled inside, fixed my cuppa, turned on my computer, and discovered there had been a 2nd crash.

I don’t remember much else from that day, other than my heart hammered in my throat as I stayed glued to the internet and to the radio.

At home, I couldn’t stop watching the Television. I cried a lot.

Somehow, I’d imagined that the horrific events of 9/11/01 would’ve brought our country closer together. I thought that the tragedy would’ve inspired unity. Instead, it created a chasm that we may not recover from.

It saddens me.

But for the survivors of 9/11, life goes on. So, hug your loved ones today. Make those phone calls. Don’t wait for a tragedy to remember that life is short.

Rader’s first soccer game was this week, but I didn’t post pics because my camera battery died. I’ve revived the battery and downloaded the pics now, so here you go:

God. I am so glad it’s Friday.

The first week of the month is always my busiest. Now, this week was worse because of the holiday. I am tired.

The cats haven’t killed each other yet, but Ginger is having nothing at all to do with the dogs. And the dogs really, really, really want to have something to do with her. The fur may start flying one way or another this weekend.

Rader’s first soccer game was last night. They won 3-2. I would post some of the fantastic pics I took, but, my camera died. So I have to charge it before I download the pictures.

Progress reports came yesterday, and so far, 7th grade is really agreeing with Ian. Many of you will remember his struggles with 5th & 6th grades. So far, nothing lower than an 84 and he has an A in Pre-Algebra! This is huge!

I’ve been instant messaging me brummie lad over the past few days. He misses America some, but is having a good time back home, getting ready for Uni. We still miss him around these parts.

I usually get a call from my Scottish lad on Saturday nights, where he fills me in on his plans for the weekend and how his week went. Last weekend I spoke to Captain and Nizzy as well. They should be getting their brownies today or tomorrow. Which will probably come in handy since I’m betting they aren’t spending a helluva lotta money on food. I remember that age…and food was not my main source of nourishment.

Oh, and I’m officially down 30 lbs.!
