So Im going to pick up a roast soon and some wood chips and we are going to try our hand at making beef jerky. next on the list is some smoked salmon. I have a bunch in my freezer that i will bring out if we dont screw up the jerky.

 I guess there's no room left, what with all the goats taking up space.

Morning Morning!
 
 I think you could stand a spoon up in my coffee this morning.  I lost count of the scoops as I was adding coffee to the machine.  MMMM.  It's all good.
 
 The oldest LM kid is playing lacrosse in a tournament today.  He's not particularly athletic, but loves to play.  I'm trying to *deep breath* be supportive and encouraging.  As parents, we want the best for our kids, and we want to see them happy.  I was worried about lacrosse before he started last year, as it felt like a recipe for disaster- but he's hanging in there.  He's getting a lot of exercise and showing definate signs of improvement.
 
 My parents never wanted me to do anything that I wasn't naturally "good" at.  I'm not the most co-ordinated bear, so they never encouraged me to play sports when I was a tyke.

I believe in doing whatever the kid wants to do, even if he or she is really bad. If I had a kid I'd be super proud of him or her in any sport they'd do even if they weren't the best.  Sports as kids are about having fun.

I think it's great to get kids into sports.  If they show an interest, it doesn't matter if you think they'll be good at it or not....go for it.  You never know where they'll find their niche, and you never know what they might take away from a sport even if they're bad at it.  My only rule of thumb, is it has to be their choice....and if it is.....they have to stick out the season.  No bailing on their team mates.

Morning P.C. and SD!
 
 Thanks for your candid opinions.  It's always good to have verification that you're doing the right thing :)
 
 What's everyone's plan today?

Lise- I had another memory flashback re: silicone around the tub.  The silicone leaves a chemical reside on your fingers, so you might want to wear gloves as you will be bathing and feeding the Lise Jr.  (Again, I learned this the hard way, as I transmitted the chemical residue from my fingers onto my contact lenses and that was a literal pain.)

More tiling. *cry

  Have to zip to my second home today (HD) to pick up some grout *double cry.

The sooner THIS job is done, the better.  I hate it when the kitchen is in an uproar.

  And you ?

 Yup you wouldn't believe how many sports I played.
Soccer
Baseball
Basketball
Swimming

Then later on in high school
Football
Tennis
Golf

Then after high school:
Rowing

I ended up leaving baseball, basketball, soccer when it went from 'having fun and making friends' to cut throat and 'we must win or else'.

Only sport I wish I could have played was hockey, but dang me and 5am practices just don't jive. lol

childhood should be about experiences and learning. Why deprive, plus it gets the kids out of the house and excercise.

Me I'm sitting at home today, trying to get better. Most likely am going to the doctor for anti-biotics.

For some reason when you brought up Home Depot I immediately thought of Cheers and its theme song.

Just lacrosse and cleaning.
 
 Oh, I'm on real-live Ninja Duty late tonight!  Since our "secure" parking lot still lacks security, we're implementing a Citizen's Patrol until the problem is fixed.  For some odd reason, the break-ins always occur on Sunday night.
 
 I'm on duty with a fellow martial arts practitioner, so we could spend our two hour patrol sparring in the parking lot... but most likely he and I will sit in lawn chairs and drink.

Only 2 hours.  I actually like most of my neighbours.
