Play structureOriginally uploaded by Mel 128.
Here is a photograph of our new play structure, taken at dusk. (Which happens to be my favorite time of day.) You can’t really tell, but along the white beam are three swings: two regular swings and a tire swing. To the left of the ladder are a set of swinging rings. At the bottom of the “fort” is a giant sandbox where even the big kids sit and play.
Now, someone asked, so I will tell you that the ACT is a test, sort of like the SAT. My ACT score was comparatively better than my SAT score, so I like to remind myself of exactly how high it was on occasion. After all, look where it got me!
My husband is gone tonight tonight at a wedding rehearsal and dinner. I desperately wanted to go (free food!), but couldn’t find a babysitter. My mother had the nerve to have a life of her own and was unavailable. And the teenage sitter I love is busy having a life of her own, too. I will miss the wedding tomorrow, too, which is a big bummer. I love attending weddings–I like everything from seeing the wedding dress to choking up over the vows to watching the other guests. And the reception? (Free food!)
Alas, no free food for me. (I know. What is this talk of free food? Aren’t you blogging about losing weight over at The Amazing Shrinking Mom? (By the way, I suggested the title “The Shrinking Mom.” They added the “Amazing” part, just in case you thought I was narcissistic and all.) Yes! I am blogging about dieting. And I am dieting. But I won’t be talking about that over here . . . no. For that scintillating talk, you must click and go.

Cool fort! If I lived nearby I’d babysit for you, but I’d ask you to bring me back a plate 😉 I looooooooove free food too!

Free food tastes so much better than regular food. Free playsets are more fun than regular playsets too. Your kids are going to have so much fun with that.

oh, the little kids can play on it and the older ones can take their dates up there and make out.
maybe not.
perhaps you should install surveilence cameras.

The ACT is decidedly harder than the SAT. I took both and I scored very well on the SAT but the ACT kicked my butt. All those “science” questions that had nothing to do with science and everything to do with reading an 8-paragraph scenario and picking out the important details to solve a random math question. Sheesh.

Well, your husband has the better end of the weddings then I do. I never get to go to the receptions because I’m tearing down the decorations and trying to get the church back to normal for the 8:15am Sunday service. But hey, I was only at the church for 8 straight hours today! No lunch! Sore feet! Exhaustion! Signs of a job well done.
