WELL. . . . we got slammed at soccer. We lost 2-7. It was raining and cold which did not help. One of the girls on the opposing team used to be on our team and her father used to be our coach. We are all very glad he is no longer our coach because his coaching style involved yelling degrading things at the girls at the top of his lungs. His dd is a ....hand full... too and had been bullying some of the girls at school about this game as it was approaching...... Needless to say there had been some stress leading up to the game and I think it really showed. Our girls did not play very well at all.....

Tonight dd R announced that she wanted her very long hair cut to her shoulders and I tried to get her to agree to do it at the beauty parlor with me....no go. So, off it went! One reason it was left long is that it is the custom of her home country, and she did not want us to touch it. It is very cute and she looks so grown up.
