Beach week 2010

08-19-2010

I love my girlfriends. They are my sounding board, my rock, inspiration, never ending support, unconditional love, and most of all family.

Every couple of years we all gather for a week at the beach with all our kids. Four moms and seven kids in one house. It is a ton of work, utterly exhausting, an absolute blast, and a reminder how lucky I am to have such amazing wonderful women in my life and that I get to watch their equally incredible, interesting and beautiful children grow up.

Miss A

07-02-2010

A few weekends back my industrious neighbor Miss “A” wanted to help the Washington Animal Rescue League (WARL) raise some money. They were in need of a new roof and had just sent a mass email to their supporters for help. It just so happened that my neighbors have adopted several animals from the WARL, chief among them was their beloved dog Sasha. Sasha was a bit of a miracle dog on our block. She was blind, survived cancer and had diabetes yet defeated every one of her grim diagnoses and lived to the rip old age of 13. So the WARL holds a special place in their hearts.

So when the WARL sent out a call for funds “A” decided to host a charity car wash to help. She charged $10 a car and .$50 for lemonade and popsicles. After three days car washes over two weekends, 7 volunteers (not including her parents), a box of freeze pops from Costco, and countless glasses of lemonade she raised a total $684.00. Not bad considering her volunteers would down two glasses of lemonade and eat two Popsicle for every car they washed

My Weekends

05-27-2010

Until the end of the school year my weekends are filled with two things.

Saturday is lost to a soccer field. This appears to be a DC tradition if you happen to parent a school age child. Saturday mornings we each pick a kid and schlep out to a soccer field for an hour. It is actually a lovely tradition, and even though we all complain bitterly while we are in the midst of it, we all secretly love it (even when we lose).

And Sundays are for lounging…

or for attacking the gnats with your sword and a spatula
