First Saturday in May

It was another glorious day, weather-wise, for a soccer game although the field was a bit squishy. Ben was in to start but then got pulled after a short while, the coach was so busy following the action of the game he lost track of time was not very effective in rotating players, at one point Ben was literally begging to be put back in the game. He finally went in for the very last moments. They played a good game, North Branch won. We had a brief word with the coach after, he was appologetic and not offended. He is new at coaching and still learning the ropes himself but his partner had already discussed with him about changing a player every 5 minutes or so. After the game Rob, Ben and I stopped by Walmart so Rob could get some new jeans.

Back at the house the boys did some work for hire: cleaning out the chicken coop they all helped with, Fox did some grass mowing, Ben weeded one of the vegetable plots, Ethan loaded up the weed piles in the wheelbarrow, and Rob worked on the Saturn some more. Me I putzed around with some weeding and am still working on organizing my office. The entire desk/counter of my office is nice and cleared off but now I have to deal with all the piles of junk that are sitting on the office floor!

Alex headed out to pick up her friend and go over another friend's to get ready for Prom. A group of girls are going, out of the six of them only two have dates and they are riding together in two cars, Alex being the driver of one vehicle. The dance is in Port Huron on a boat so she'll be on the freeway and returning at night, but before midnight because neither of the drivers is cleared to be on the road after midnight. She has been instructed to check in at certain points. Lord give me strength and don't let them do any of the stupid crap I did!
