A Little of Everything

Okay first off, how can I compete with the latest rights offering on PM? Gaw, it'll probably sell. Good luck Mr. S and thanks for your part in dumbing down America.

Perhaps I need to read this. And then again, I really don't need another book to tell me that the market is tough, I must write fresh and provocative prose, and be very, very lucky.

There's a new blog on the horizon. This one is hilarious.

I took the afternoon off and took the B's to the local amusement park. It was at least 90 degrees outside. B1 took off with his cousin who was visiting the same park on an end of school field trip, so I kept B2, B3 and B4 with me. We had a major breakthough as no one suggested the kiddie rides. Even though we didn't ride the truly horrific rides such as the Hurler, the White Knuckle, the Cranium Crusher, the Busted Rib or the Blood Rusher I wasn't on the Kiddie coaster nor did have to ride those horrid balloons (talk about hurl!).

I planned to dash with the three B's around 3:30 but there was no line at one of the roller coasters so they didn't have to get off - and wouldn't until I jumped on the platform and screamed of freeway traffic and softball practice. We were all hot, sweaty and exhausted and it was barely 4 pm. I did hit a bit of traffic but got home by 4:35 and in time for B3 to change her clothes and then race back across town to get her to practice. Hubby took ownership of B2 and B4 for the rest of the evening.

I dropped B3 off at the field and then raced back to fetch B1 and my nephew (I'll call him R2). Scooped them up and then drove two miles an hour in traffic back to B3's practice, all while thunderstorms loomed dark on the horizon.

No writing again. Damn this summer break. This week is a loss, so here's to next week. I have got to get my act together.

On a final note, I'd like to take a moment and commend all those wonderful parent chaperones who give of their time so the young ones can travel, learn and have some fun. Wow.

Have a great weekend.
