Planning

Planning . . . life has proved that this is both my one of my greatest strengths and greatest weaknesses.

Say for instance I planning on a 15 mile bike race with my children.  So we practice and we practice.  We are feeling good about it!  And just a couple of weeks before the race, I fill out the August calendar.  It is at that time that I realize that the bike race is the morning after we are all going to a baseball game, with fireworks after the game.  Oops!!

So I warn the children to come home and get right to sleep.  Do you think that’s happening right now?  Nope!  I still hear voices coming from upstairs.

So wish us luck for tomorrow!  Because I will be waking the bicycling kids up nice and early to have breakfast and be at the race on time!!  And then to pedal for 15 miles with hills and stuff.  (What is stuff in that sentence?  I don’t know . . . gravel maybe??)

Tonight I am thankful that we all had a fun time at the Lugnuts game tonight!  Ron’s work had given him 4 of the tickets back in March.  It was early enough that I could buy our large crowd an additional 2 tickets adjacent to the first 4.  My wonderful aunt gave us an awesome parking spot!  And then we didn’t feel too bad splurging on all the goodies that are at the ballpark!  🙂  A fun time was had by all!
