AND YOU THINK THE COMMENT SECTION ARGUMENTS ARE ANNOYING? (self-reference alert):
So here's the email I got Monday with my marching orders for the week:Today:Avery needs to be picked up from school and brought to dance (she said she spoke with you). I can get her from dance.Archer has soccer practice at Sachem at 4:30 todayGriffin is going to RVC after school and I will pick him upTue:Avery has some Trumbull hall thing at the Haven after school - I'm not sure how she's getting there. I'll check with her. She has a trombone lesson at our house later in the afternoon.Archer may be doing model UN or homework club after school on Tuesday - it's impossible to get info from him so I'll try and get that figured out today.Griffin is workingArcher has hockey at 5:50Wed:Avery has voice Wed 2:30-3Archer has tennis Wed and has a soccer game in Canaan at 5:15. Will is supposed to be with Archer and you take them to the game. He may need to leave tennis a bit early. I will ask your mother to bring him to tennis (I'm at CVH).I believe Avery is working on WedThur:Archer may or may not have a music lesson - I have to double check on that oneFriday and Saturday are problems for Archer - he has soccer games both days at the same time he has hockey. Friday hockey is a practice. Saturday is their first hockey game, but it's against Woodstock (so no points and Woodstock usually wins). I guess it's up to Archer which he would rather do....
So blessed Thursday was going to be the one day I didn't have to squire rugrats around the Upper Valley. Then this text:
