And the Winner Is......

It's an annual affair or rather rite of passage--The annual Cub Scout Pinewood Derby--This year for the first time the 3 males of my house had the chance to build and race their own cars against each other for the annual right to brag--

Mine are all past Cub Scout age--but the outsiders division allows boys of all ages who refuse to grow up a chance to build and race. It's only a block of wood 7" long--but mold it, sand it and take care with 4 plastic wheels and 4 nails for axles--you have a masterpiece--In this case the OscarMeyer Mobile, a lightening rod and ode to Music car--The youngest of my crew has bragging rights--the Lightening Rod was the fastest.

Now we're home--had dinner out--large sundaes for all--YUM! YUM! But the house is a disaster and it is always the case when there is a large event even out of the house--You would think everything is in order--But No! Can never figure that one out--

Now its time--not to clean--not to put away--but to curl up in warm PJ's and read a book--Tomorrow is another day.

CLEO AT REST!!!

Finally--The written Cleopatra project is done--Had to rewrite--teacher thought the 2 wonder children copied out of a book! How dare she. Now written with a middle school reading level and simple sentences. Pulling teeth with DS2. Now my DS2 and his friend will have to finish the crown and plan their class presentation by themselves--

Last night of Christmas lights--Boo hoo-- I hate putting away Christmas--takes me forever.

Its inventory nightmare week at DH's store--tomorrow he'll leave before sun-up and come home????????? Next day at the store by 5 am!! Next day to another store by 7 pm!!! Saturday --he'll sleep and I'll be taking the boys here there and everywhere.

WHERE IS?

Where is my trumpet?

Where is my swimsuit?

Where is my lunchbox?

Where is my lunch money?

Could you talk to the baseball coach for me because I have swim practice?

Can you move the van? (This one gets me all the time, because I am usually headed into the shower and the last place I want to go is ourside to sit on a cold seat!)

Its back to school and work day! Yeh! Even I have to depart and head to the middle school. Back to scouts and the sports schedules and thanhfully we are all healthy again.

Yes--I mean all--DH really thought he escaped the virus of New Year's--but it sidelined him on Friday night. This time I vacated the room and yet again disinfected everything. We laughed yesterday because he really thought he would escape. He headed to his store to get ready for inventory and probably infected his staff. Yikes!

Heard the alarm of DS2 but there is no movement--time to go and get the next round of where is?
