The race is about to begin...

We Starting next week I will again be a Soccer mom. Reece starts indoor socccer at the YMCA. Every Saturday for the next 12 weeks we will be bringing him to soccer indoors then starts the outdoor season with the Appleton Soccer Club. Last year he was in Soccer and T-ball. With 2-3 games and 1 practice each week that was a bit much. This year he will only be in Soccer, which he likes more then baseball. Duner *aka Dad* doesn't like it but he feels board with baseball. My husband just loves baseball. He just doesn't understand it.
Speaking of Races, I just love the Amazing Race, but my husband thinks he would like to do it, too. I have thought about trying for it but the rules say you need to have an active passport and be able to fly at your own expense for an interview to LA. Then later for the 2nd interview , you need to be able to be in LA for up to 2 wks (which they pay for your hotel and flight) but you have to pay for your food. And that is all before you are even chosen! If you get picked, big IF!, you will then have to be off work 30-40 days for the show taping! I can see why it sucks to be kicked off one of the first!

I can see why you'd want to do the Amazing Race. You have to make a 3 minute video to apply, and I helped a couple of friends make one. It took 11 hours to get the video tape, compile it, edit and make it into something they could send in. And they never heard from the editors after that. When you said that they could have you for up to two weeks for the second interview, my first thought was that they actually ran the race then, and you'd just tell people that you didn't make it past the second interview, when in fact you actually already ran the race. But then you said the 30-40 days thing, and I wonder, who can do that? Especially with kids, like you? Aside from having to pay for a trip to LA? That's a lot to ask. Maybe that's why they get so many people from Southern California. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. Lots of hugs and kisses for squirmy little boys...Auntie Sara.
