Short lived team sports

Rebecca's time on the water polo team was short lived. The head coach of the school called and said there was 3 different committees that would have to sign something for her to be able to play. She had already made the team...and practiced with them for about 6 weeks, almost daily. One group only meets quarterly....so she was uninvited to the team. After all the work to get her on the team, weeks of practice, a $70. swimsuit, what a disappointment. This of course brought tears, anger, frustration, and trust. Just another example of how God can even use non-likeable humans to bring about his will or desires for our lives. This is a very hard lesson to learn...Be able to say "Thanks" for the hard stuff and move on.
Dad and I came home after looking at some houses to find Fred (cat) sitting on top of the bird cage totally engrossed in the pretty little treats running around. He was so engrossed he never noticed Dad until it was to late....he got a small skydiving lesson without the parachute, but as always landed on his feet.
We had a yummy dinner of spaghetti, peas and carrots, and salad with ranch, and seed cake for desert. Then Dad added a tree to his painting and Daniel added some detail to his buildings, Rebecca went to bed (she has to be up for swimming 4:45 am), I of course and blogging and im- ing the kids, now off to bed to acquire the rest required for tomorrow. So goodnight.
