Upward

J.'s first game was yesterday in Upward Basketball....................I was too busy talking to all the people I know, but Chris said he scored 12 points....................all I know is he had fun.

My baby is turning 9!!!

in only 5 days!!!

OUCH!

If you haven't already, read the post below first.................this just looks mean!!

What a REALLY expensive camera and a great person behind it can do........

We wrestled Monticello and Western last night. A friend's son wrestles at Monticello and he took some pictures for us..............T. won both matches. It's strange........even though my admiration for this sport is growing, I find it increasingly harder to watch.............had to take a walk a few times. I also was down near the mat with my camera with a boy next to me throwing up in a trash can...........in front of everybody............this sport takes an inner strength I don't think you have to have anywhere else. Somebody is trying to control you in front of a screaming crowd and you are twisted and hurting. They are crushing you and probably saying mean things in your ear......... I would freak out! Can't really explain it well right now, plus my throat is killing me...........off to get some coffee! Oh, I have to post about my dream the other night............I really hate dreams. In this one, I realize we have been so excited and have so many great feelings about VMI.........and then it hits me that I AM the one who is going there next year........I am really trying to tell myself it will be good for me, but I am increasingly upset that I don't think I can handle a military school..............and besides............I haven't been in school for years!!!! And then it hits me! I don't want to go to VMI and why am I anyway..........didn't I go to OSU years ago? Aren't I done? Then I wake up and realize T. is going, not me! Now I'll probably dream I have to wrestle somebody at districts or something.............I might rather go to VMI!

Exercise..............

They caught me................just like I catch them...................I guess it's only fair..........geesh!!! Can't even get some privacy to jump on my rebounder..........go ahead and laugh!!! I love my rebounder!!! It's an easy workout in front of the tv...........

Character Building?

All three of these men are HIGHLY competitive. All three have children who play a college sport...............2 of these men played basketball in college. One coached a high school girls team that went to states............one coached a division one college team and a NBA team.............one is a sports psychologist..................they have teamed up to coach a 7th grade group of kids from the city..................see the score (we are home)? That's the norm.................they have to pick up and take home most of these kids...................and have never seen a parent for most..............this may be more challenging than anything else they have ever tackled........

Back to the Real World.......

No more sleepovers in the middle of the week............like the picture above with bed head boys....no more sleeping in period!! Back to the real world of work and school, schedules and car pools............I'm tired already!
