Thursday, March 1, 2012Good morning crew,
Martial arts tournament this weekend. I won't be competing, I will be refereeing (and probably judging, too). Which means there will be a lot of little kids hating me come Monday.
But it's good for 'em. A little bit of competition hardens the spirit and knowing what it is like to lose every now and then is an important educational experience.
Plus, as long as they don't take it too seriously, it can be pretty fun.
For the indentured servants like me, however, who get suckered into putting in a ten hour day herding the little maniacs around it can be quite stressful. I am already dreading it. But I guess it is good experience for me, too. The trauma will probably cure me of wanting a family of my own for the rest of my life.
Welcome to March.
Laugh it up,
Joe

***For a romantic touch, I washed our sheets with lavender-scented fabric softener. When my husband got into bed, he sniffed. "What's this?" he asked.
"Guess," I said coyly.
"I have no idea," he said. "It smells like the stuff you use to line the hamster's cage."
