Tid bits...

Bianca had her first soccer game of the spring season. Last Saturday I sat and watched her team score 8-0. Way to go Bianca! True to form, nothing got past her defense line. Bianca shuts it down every time. Her team scored all 8 goals in the first half of the game and nothing after that. So at least the other team was able to hold them the second half. Some of the Moms were making comments that our defense was just to good to get past to score, so good job girls.

Lexus wrote an excellent poem at school last week. I thought it was a little window into her soul.

I am not poem

I am not just a graceful dancer.
I am a wisp of smoke, my thin tendrils moving through the air.
I may look like a shy goody two-shoes, but I'm an old spirit 
with crooked fingers and knees from years of battle.
I'm a bottle of emotions tucked away inside, hidden behind a hard heart.
I don't like warm embraces or compliments of beauty or talent.
I'm all about hard work and faith.
You see a girl but really…
I am forever.

Last and certainly not least Piper said this to me this morning: "Mom, Dad goes to work everyday and he has a really hard job. Mom, your job is to have fun. Your job is easy pee zee." so I have decided in the morning when she asks me to make her breakfast to tell her, sorry that is not in my job description. I would not have fun doing that.
