Email from me to my sister that Ainsley’s soccer game is only a practice. They had planned on coming to Ainsley’s first game:
I called the Y and tonight is practice eventhough the schedule says that there is a game!!! Sorry.
Email from Deb: David is going to be sooooooooooooooooooooo disappointed. He was so excited about seeing Ainsley play tonight. BUMMER!
Kath: You can still come and watch her play but there is just no game. I am so sorry. I didn’t know. I called the Y to find out what color she was so that I could buy a bow for her hair and I found out. Sorry!
Deb: Only you would go and buy a BOW for Ainsley for her soccer game. She has you wrapped. I’m laughing you do know that right? A bow?
Kath: My baby has to look adorable!!!!!!
Deb: Dork.
David: I’m heart broken. I can’t go on. I had my camera packed and ready to go.I’m crying at work. My co-workers are asking what’s wrong. I had to tell them my dog died so they wouldn’t laugh at me for the real reason I am crying.
Debra: See, I told you Kath. David is sad. Real sad. and to think you were worried about a bow. :o( Now I have to worry about a crying husband.
Kath: You all are pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!
Deb: I’m not the one who wanted to buy a BOW for a SOCCER game!! ;o)
Kath: Won’t she look cute??!!! Do you know how hard I had to look for cute little cleats for her? Why do I work so hard if I can’t buy cleats and adorable bows?!!! At this age, it is all about the look and not about the game. This will not be a nail biter for sure.
Deb: She is your little princess that’s for sure. No doubt about it. And little princess soccer players should have matching cleats and bows. Don’t forget the little string for their sleeves. You must tie them up with ribbon so her little arms don’t get too hot.
Kath: I forgot the sleeve ribbons!!!! Thank you. Now my baby will be perfect.
The Puddles 
A lot of my co-workers want to come to Rocket’s Funeral. We need to put one on so they won’t find out why I was crying. Monday at 4:30 p.m. I’m going to hide Rocket at the kennel and I need Chris to do the ceremony. Also I’d like to borrow his Ipad to put on a slide show of Rocket’s best pics and videos. A couple of co-workers have promised to provide the food for after the funeral. I have a box that I put about about 50 lbs of sand in. We are going to bury him under the ash tree in the back yard.
