Soccer in the Rain

Tabs playing on Saturday. I got soaked right down to my underwear just watching.
Tabs placed first in her class in a school wide geography test–so now she advances to the school final on Friday morning.
As soon as she is finished we are all leaving for a five night holiday to Vancouver and Victoria. We’ll be staying in the historic Hotel Vancouver and then the Empress in Victoria. It will be a great little family get away.
This month is proving to be quite hectic. Track meets, piano concerts, dance recitals, band concerts… and I just today officially changed my thesis advisor. Now I have less than 2 weeks to get three strangers to agree to sign on to be on my thesis committee, meet all together with me and my advisor and finish my ethics review application and submit it! YIKES
All of this before my new supervisor leaves for Finland and then I, in turn, leave for Malaysia for 2 weeks on June 30th. Before that we must drive the girls and Fernando to Nelson to where their Auntie T will be waiting to babysit while we’re off exploring the jungles of Asia.
My mom stayed last night and I drove her to the bus station where she caught a bus to Nelson for the week.
Tabs is at a friends, Mist at the mall with friends and Pip just returned home from Energy-Plex after an afternoon with Artemis and Hilary (the nanny).
Tonight I have Zumba but I really want to go to a movie instead! Hmm…date night tomorrow may be cancelled as I have to pack up 4 females for our trip and arrange for the doggie sitter.
Tomorrow morning the city is helicopter spraying our mountain for Tussock moths. So I have to barricade the house and none of us can go outdoors for 24h. I did my run this morning instead of tomorrow.
Pip and I just made our famous pumpkin brownies. Must go and ice them.
*Decided my personal essays are too time consuming for this blog. I will try to do one each month for practice though.
