New Soccer Rules

-
At recess, a group of girls was huddled together on the ground shivering while watching boys play soccer:

Me: Girls, if you're so cold, then why don't you play soccer to warm up!
MS Girls: We don't like soccer!
Me: Then what about playing soc-him!
MS Girls: Yay! Soc-him! How do we play?
Me: I don't know. Let's make it up....

Here are the official soc-him game rules at South Olive Christian School (SOCS):

1) Two mini goal nets are placed two yards apart
2) One or more soccer balls are in play
3) No goalkeepers
4) Scramble at will to kick a soccer ball into either goal net repeatedly until the recess bell rings

The winner is anyone who warms up the best to ward off this chilly autumn afternoon! We had fun 😊

I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

Shipt!

We signed up with Shipt for grocery-getting. It's our first time and it feels luxurious! I could get used to this! Like the first time I felt When Grubhub delivered me a hamburger, But better. Hey, the Shipt employee just texted me. She's on her way. Wait. A breaking update from News 8: "Shipt: Meijer team members at 3 stores test positive for COVID-19" Me: Uhh. Laura: She's here! Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
