Bad Writer!

I am obviously not very good at doing this. I find that when I sit down to write that I have no idea what to say. So a quick update on us! Speed is having allergy symptoms for the first time. He was playing lacrosse last night, and started coughing. He has to wear a mouthpiece and because of that he couldn't breathe. Poor thing!!! He stayed out the rest of the game. This is the kid who will get up - on his own - at 5:30 in the morning to make sure that he gets to go to the gym with daddy. He does not have an alarm clock either! He does not take a nap - hasn't since he was 2. This is one kid who does not stop......ever! I felt so bad for him because I could just see it in his eyes. Hopefully after a couple of more days the allergy medicine will take a better hold of blocking all the crap in the air!

DG is going through some peer pressure issues. She is only 7!!!!! Apparantly the other day a couple of her friends decided that they were going to smash leaves from the fence behind the school and try to force a boy in their class to eat them! Not only that, but they thought that they were poisoning him!!! She really had no idea what that word meant, when I explained it to her, she was in tears and felt so horrible that she had done that. So I had her write an apology letter to this little boy. I wish that I had a copy of the letter. I know the little boy's mom is keeping it because she thought it was so hilarious. Basically, it was like this: (with hearts and flowers and rainbows decorating the edges)

Dear _____,

I am sorry that I tried to poison you. I will never, ever do it again.

Your friend,
DG


It was really great. I was thinking she should put something about not being mean to him anymore, but......

The boys mom actually called her relatives and is going to save the letter becvause she thought it was so funny. All I can say is that I am glad that she knew that DG wasn't trying to be malicious in any way!!!

Also, I won't be in the Army 10 miler as I accidentally waited too long to try to register, luckily so did my friend, so I didn't have to leave her in the cold on this one!


LAW has proposed that we should walk the Marine Corps 10K and I think it is a great idea! I know I can go that far at least :) So now I have Rolling Thunder and the 10K to look forward too. So much for nothing to say, huh??
