GGGGGOOOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

It doesn't quite pack the same punch reading it as hearing the announcers yell it for longer than a Michael Jackson song. We were figuring out what her availability for ref-ing this weekend and as I glanced at the schedule I realized she had a game tonight! She had 5 minutes to get ready! This was the fastest I've ever seen her get ready. AND she didn't forget anything! She finally got to play soccer! Yay!!! She played defense and was a little rusty at first but by after the two times she touched the ball first half, it came back to her and she did well. The level of play for rec is definitely slower and much less intense than high school or classic but it's a great way to get her back to being a rockin defender. Her team won 6-0.

Devan needs a new mattress so we wandered around this weekend looking for the best sale. We ended up at Ashley furniture store. The kids were trying out oversized chairs when Jordan saw a bright red futon. It totally matches the red she has going on in her room so she headed over to try it out. There was a dark brown one on a riser so it was too high to get to and then the red one which was a little taller than a tan colored one on the floor. Next thing I know Jordan squeals and has flipped the red futon up on it's end! She had plopped down on the edge of it not knowing that it too was on a riser! She's trying not to fall and flip this thing on top of her and her astonished yelp caught the attention of at least 10 shoppers so they all stopped and stared! I'm useless at this point, I am using all my energy to hold myself upright and force myself to stop laughing before I fall on the floor laughing hysterically and causing another scene. I was so embarrassed and casually made our way to the door. You know, not one sales person bothered us our entire time in the store. I think I was more embarrassed than Jordan. Just thinking about it cracks me up to the point of laughing out loud.

Got my washing machine tonight. Plus the guy switched the cord on the dryer and set them up for me so I just need to clean them and we are good to go.

OMG! I thought I was going to fall out of my chair just now!!! Here I am, sitting at my desk with my soup in front of me reading this post....as I read on, I am picturing the scene in my head and can see exactly what happened. I just about spit the soup out through my nose and had to swallow it down quickly so I could laugh!! That girl is too much! :)

Yay for getting the w/d thing squared away!!
