Well it has been about a week since my last blog and things have been busy. For starters we had the slumber party- or should I say party as there was little slumber involved. WOW. I have no idea that 11-12 yr old girls were so loud. Saturday was the Halloween Carnival and that was fun as always. Jo had a game on Sunday and she had the best shot I had seen this season. It was beautiful and hard and going straight to the goal too high and too far from the keeper. It was great. Unfortunately they were playing in 22 mph winds and at the last minute the ball curved and went out of the goal. It was awful. The team still won 2-1 but still it would have been nice to get that goal. Any other day and it would have been a goal. So she was super tired and so was I and we took a mental health day. Not to mention the fact that I had to get my hormones and UPS was supposed to deliver it and they would not leave them at the house without a signature. So my meds came and I signed for them. I also got the pool all closed up for winter so it was a good day. My team lost last night , but I think we will do better as we have a couple of new players who are pretty good. I went to the gym today- wow did that feel good. Anyway not much else going on here.
