RN, didn't think much about them cutting kids from teams. Caleb had to try out for little league the last year he played that and so far this year he's tried out for the school track team (made that one) and the school basketball team (didn't make that one.)

Little league does the trading of gear stuff, you take your old stuff in, get a credit for it and then put it towards buying new used stuff that's discounted. I'd have no problem doing that if he was going to make the team. But doing it for just the tryouts? And since our school only has basketball, track, and soccer as extra ciricular activities pretty much all the kids try out so the chances of making the team, especially since some of these kids have been playing for years, is pretty slim. The only soccer he's ever played is kicking the ball back and forth on the field with his buddies at lunch.

I'll stop by in the morning and have a chat with one of the coaches. Maybe when they listed the equipment needed they meant only if the kids make the team. I don't think that's what they mean since the only info in the letter is about the tryouts, but I guess it could just be that here's the permission form, if your kid makes it you'll have to provide this.

RN, umm, usually they are pretty firm with the shin guard thing and that's for the safety of the kids. Especially at that age there is a lot of kicking in tight spaces. Too bad they gave you such short notice, I've got tons of old shin guards around here ...

RN Yeah, I don't think they'll let them try out without the shin guards. The rest of the stuff probably but not those. Just talk to them and see what they say. If you have a second hand shop for sporting goods, you could buy the stuff and then take it back if he doesn't make it. The stuff is already used so what could it hurt? Make sure they have a cash refund policy first though.

If you don't want to do that then explain the situation to the store and see if they'll loan you the stuff with a deposit. It never hurts to be creative and ask.

RN Yes it is. So, if you have to be somewhere at the butt crack of dawn (7:45) then that would probably mean you have to get up in the middle of the night (6 or 6:30) to get there. Ugh!

Right now, I did not go to the doctor for the dog bite. If I die a painful and untimely death, you can all say, "I told you so."

I did, however, report the dog to Animal Control.

Right now ... no painful or untimely death Hermi! Is it healing okay??

I am glad you called Animal Control. Who knows how many other people this animal has bit.

My co-worker decided not to come to work again today. Once again ... department of one!

RN Its so cold outside that I'm having a hard time getting warm inside. It was zero this morning and now its up to a whopping 5 degrees. With a windchill of -15.

RN I'm wondering if I would be a total slacker if I just got back in bed under the covers.

RN Hermi, that is good news about reporting it!

RN it's such a beautiful day that I already have the windows and my back door wide open. The kids went to school without even sweaters and Dakota already making plans on how to spend the afternoon (she's going to do her homework when it gets dark and play outside til then.)

RN talked to one of the teachers who coaches soccer this morning. They do have to have the equipment to tryout, but she did apologize. She told me these letters were supposed to go out a couple weeks ago, there was some kind of mix up and the letters never got to the teachers they were supposed to go to. She didn't realize it til yesterday afternoon when a handfull of kids started to show up for tryouts with no permission forms. I should mention that both our soccer coaches are 1st grade teachers and don't have much interaction with the 4th and 5th grade kids, if they did they'd have realized this a couple weeks ago. Anyways, she said they were discussing their options and will probably postpone the tryouts til either next week or the week they go back from spring break because they want all the kids who want to try out to have a chance to get ready for it. I also talked to my sis this morning who reminded me we have a cousin whos kid has played soccer for years. Finally got ahold of him a bit ago and he said he had all her old equipment in a box in his parents garage and he'd send it over for us. So I won't have to go buy anything just to have him try out.

Right now it is a little swollen and bruised, but I think it is okay. I am just so tired of medical offices. Do.Not.Want.To.Go.To.The.Doctor's.

Right now, let's pretend I went to the doctor's and everything is fine.

Right now I am wondering if anyone has ever heard of a candy bar called "CoffeeCrisp" with the tagline "It makes a nice, light snack."
