I fear that blogging about today will cause you to fall into a comalike slumber, so I'll keep it short.
Activity 1: Voting. Free since 1964, when the 24th Amendment was ratified, abolishing the use of poll tax. (Take THAT to your next trivia night!) I doubled up on my civic responsibility by riding my bike to the polling place. :)
Activity 2: My son's playoff baseball game. Free. My blood pressure shot through the roof, however, when I discovered the other team picked up 4, count 'em, 4 high school students. I could write an entire blog about the unfairness of allowing several 9th graders to join a team of 7th & 8th graders during the playoffs. I probably will, once my blood has reduced from boil to simmer. By the way, my kiddo's team lost. His Little League career has officially ended. Yes, I'm a little sad about that...
Final tally: Can you believe it, after 5 days, STILL $6?! Tomorrow's gonna be a challenge because Little League is having a pizza night fundraiser, and I just KNOW my kids are going to give me those puppy dog, please-mommy-can-we-go eyes. WHAT TO DO? Should I count fundraiser participation as part of my fun money?! (Opinions appreciated... Please comment below!)
P.S. Thank you for all the kind comments and for "following" my blog. You are a wonderfully supportive bunch!
