Mothering Many

So, we got the game schedules, and for us, for the next two months, Saturday equals football. We have 5 kids either playing or cheering, and three different schedules to meet. It’s going to be an interesting couple of months, but then again, life in this house is always interesting. We have purchased a new cooler, and we’ll be packing lunches/suppers and making occasions of it all. Note to self: don’t forget the plates next time.

Of course, this leads to another question. It’s a question I am not quite sure I want to know the answer to, though. We’ve been in drought conditions for a couple of years now, and the fields are so nice and lush. I’ve lived here all my life–I know there’s only so much you can do with quality grass seed, and even the best lawn aerator cannot overcome a lack of water. So………how much water are they spending on that grass? The mind boggles. There are four greener than green fields there, and my own yard is pretty much brown and crispy, ya know?

Ann E. Way, the kids are having tons of fun, the season only lasts 8 more weeks (unless we go to playoffs), and it’s totally worth it that I spent more on sports equipment last month than I did on my mortgage. Right?
