Basketball games and pony tails...
Hello everyone. Well, it’s Saturday and I am sitting at my desk cursing the little slide out thingy that is supposed to hold my keyboard because it is broken and I am having to type too high for my comfort level. But, even if my comfort levels were acceptable, my lovely daughter, Amanda, would be screwing them up as she is doing new and inventive things to my hair. “Sorry Mom, if I hurt you.” This is her response after my third ‘oooowwwww’. What the hell do you mean ‘if’??? I believe I now have four different pony tails in my hair and I am almost positive that I will have to cut the hair ties out in about thirty minutes when she gets tired of being my stylist. Oh well.
We have just gotten home a few minutes ago from Emilee’s last basketball game of the season. She played very well considering that she is under the weather. Two other teammates didn’t show up. I am going to assume that they were sick as well. Hmmm, kind of makes you wonder what kind of abusive parent I am by taking her. LOL, she begged me to take her (I swear) and since she has been running around all day seemingly feeling fine, I said ok. Anyway, there were only six kids on her team there so Emilee was on the bench for the first few minutes of the game until one of the other players fell down. Then she played the rest of the first period and all of the second period. At half time I called her over as I had been watching her and she looked like she was struggling. She said she didn’t feel good and I asked the coach to bench her for the third period and then see if she felt good enough to play the fourth. My little blonde bombshell is a trooper! She asked to play the fourth and then attempted three shots in the fourth alone! She hasn’t tried to make but maybe one or two all season. It was awesome.

Ok, so you did pick up on all that lingo right? Things like ‘first period’ and ‘half time’ and ‘benched’… Yeah baby, she can be taught. And everyone thought I would need the Basketball For Dummies book! Who would have thought that I was a complete basketball virgin less than three months ago! I have to admit that I still have no interest in watching basketball on TV even though I would finally know what the hell was going on. However, I think that as far as sports that my kids play, basketball is by far the most fun to watch.
Ok, my hair appointment has commenced. I have four random, braided pony tails in my hair and my daughter wants to take a picture of them. I am almost certain that it is some evil conspiracy to black mail me later when I tell her she can’t date the guy with the tattoo.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
