Did you miss me?
Any time I haven’t blogged for a couple of days in a row, you can be assured that I’m soccering.
After having a lovely couple of weekends off, we hit the road for a busy soccer weekend.
Chicky made herself comfortable, as we spent about ten hours, total, in the car this weekend…
We dropped Rooster off mid-way. He had plans to spend the weekend at Super Sis’s house. Music Man (my nephew) recently turned 16, and he had requested the presence of his cousin at his shindig. We were happy to oblige.
Friday night and Saturday morning, Chicky had the honor of playing in the Girls’ All Star soccer game. This is an invitation-only event, so we were doubly excited. She saw several travel teammates, so it was like one big reunion.
Guy Friend arrived during her first game, and he hitched a ride back north with us. He is on Spring Break this week.
Chicky’s team won both games, winning the overall competition (yay!).
We then drove a few hours north so that Chicky could practice with her travel team. Spring season is upon them, and the girls are trying to get ready for State Cup…THE main event for select soccer.
Chicky played in a second game on Saturday and had a three-hour practice this morning. Needless to say, her legs are shot.
While in Big Town, USA, we ate at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants…
Spinach Artichoke Tostados and wine in a plastic glass (a first)…YUM!
We then headed for home, picking up Rooster along the way.
We barely had room for his gear…the car was loaded down!
We actually arrived home earlier than anticipated, so I had time to run by Publix to take advantage of a weekend-only sale on cereal…
I got all eight boxes for $3.92, saving over $12!!! I wound up getting each box for $.49…a savings of 88%!!
Yeah, Baby!!
While I was at the store, I took my receipts from last week back, along with coupons I did not have with me at the time I shopped, and recouped over $6, which I used to buy the above cereal. Thank goodness stores are very understanding when dealing with brain-dead moms like myself!!
Tomorrow, I begin a two-week subbing assignment for the teacher I subbed for before Christmas. I’ll have some of the same students as before. This should be interesting as they are seniors and not very accepting of my strict classroom rules.
