The Glamorous Life Of The Modern Day Soccer Mom
Gooey Trash Ed

Dear Children:
I appreciate the fact that one of you was conscientious enough to toss the rotten mayonnaise into the kitchen trashcan.
In the past I have found that you tend to allow rotten things to continue to ferment buried 
on the counter, hidden in the cupboard, or lost deep in the fridge until they are either able to speak or run about unaided.
This morning was soccer try-outs. As always the Soccer Fairy paid us her (ok, could be a “him” – not sure, never seen the accursed Soccer Fairy) traditional “Night Before Soccer Try-Outs” visit. She (or he) hid half of the kids’ shin guards and a couple of cleats.
Somehow try-outs and the accompanying need for gear take my family by surprise every time,
