I bet Alice could play volleyball!

It's early for me to be on the computer. I took H to early band and it's raining, so I can't go on my "power walk". Wah! :) So I'll try to update before the morning rush....

Last night was Kat's last set of volleyball matches. She served really well in the first match--got 5 aces. They won both games. Then in the second match they won the first game and started the second match. The little girl (2nd smallest on our team--who had never gotten a serve over until last night) who started serving finally got her groove on and served, and served and served. The other team called a time out at 11-0 and the parents were thrilled to bits. Kaitlyn kept serving and SERVED OUT THE MATCH! We won 21-0! The poor other team had attempted to return the serve, but never got it over the net in bounds. In the 4th and 5th grade level, it's unusual for one player to make more than 5 or 6 serves in a row and usually someone gets it back over the net eventually--but not last night. Not one parent cared that their kid didn't get to serve again. It was a magical moment to be sure. We were played in a league in a little town nearby, so we won't see these girls or their families until next year, so we will miss them. A lot of nice people, but am very happy to have a little break before basketball begins....

The rest of our life has been wild too. We went to SE MO for a marriage retreat 2 weekends ago. We caught up with some of our favorite couples from JCMO. Such fun to see how people grow and change for good while you've been gone. We visited a bit with our family in Jackson, altho the folks had to go to AR to a funeral. The girls did really well without us for a day or so at Grandma's. H stayed in here with our friends b/c of band.....

This last weekend was devoted to the launch of my Arbonne empire. Well, it's not an empire yet, but it will be. My friend and direct manager, Deborah came from AR to help me get squared away. She is full of enthusiasm and together we could be totally dangerous. The opportunities that this business can send our way have given us light in a very dark tunnel. May have to start another blog to gush about it---an ARBBLOG. :)

Fall is coming to KC this week for real. It's supposed to be cold and rainy, may finally get those shorts and t-shirts out of the drawers. Changing out the drawers is huge ordeal and I wonder where "Alice" has gone. I bet Carol Brady never sorted thru all the closets and drawers alone for the Brady Bunch!! Where is my Alice?? She's way behind in her chores around here!! :)

Time to rock and roll.
