Feeling my inner Jordan.....

Michael Jordan that is. Well......not quite, but as close to it as I can get. I LOVE BASKETBALL. Popped into the gym today to watch my sister's Jr. High team. I really enjoy that group of girls. I feel partial to them in basketball cause I had them from 3rd-6th grade. I was sad when they went to Jr. High. They are going to rock it this year! It makes me excited to start elementary bball next week.

My high school girls are always asking why I don't coach high school basketball. It's hard to explain to them that I love it too much and the pressure would kill me. I mean, if you've ever been to a game you've seen me
1. get so excited I have to hide around the corner
2. get so mad at the refs I have to hide around the corner so I don't get ejected from the game
(I'm halfway scared of me as a parent of eventual basketball players)

I blame my love of the game on Coach Petersen. He had me in the gym from about 2nd grade on. He convinced me that in order to be a great bball player, one had to sleep with their basketball. So I did. Clear up until the day I left for college.

So, tomorrow I'll go to the first game of the season and cheer ~~obnoxiously~~ loudly for the Wolves. I'm really going to try hard this season to be a little more inconspicuous. :)

iPhone Bliss.....Diet Coke Karma........Gluten Free Friday (oops)

Which means that Fedex finally arrived!!!! Well, not exactly true. They arrived, in town 20+ miles from my house and thought they'd just drop it off at the school for me. How thoughtful of them. Blahhhhhh........ Cause I don't work at the school, or anywhere in town for that matter. At least it was in the direction of picking up the older child from his school. Point is.......I GOT IT!!! I LOVE IT!!!! And I shouldn't be this excited about getting a new phone, but I am so shut it!!! On to other business. Yesterday was day 5 of no diet coke. Well, it turned into 4 days of no diet coke and me drinking one when I got to town (to pick up my BADASS iPhone) cause I had a terrible headache yesterday. I was almost certain I had not been glutened so I assumed that the headache was from going cold turkey on the diet coke. The good thing was, it didn't taste near as wonderful as I thought it would. It did get rid ...

Horrible Blogger!!!

Slacker..........Not really, but I'm sure that's what some are thinking! I realized that I haven't blogged since the Lincoln 1/2. I realize that I very nearly died in that experience. :) But no excuse for neglecting my fans. All 5 of you. So, here's a little recap of what has been happening in this Runaway Ranchwife's life! T-ball started. The kids had their first games last night and they were amazing. And if you ask them, they won. They kicked that other team right in the ass. (Even though they do not keep score and no one gets out.) They don't need to know that though. They are certain the major leagues will be calling them today! We had the most amazing week branding. I usually bail about the 3rd night of camping and claim that mom the kids are tired and need a night in their own beds. Not so much this year. I loved camping and spending time with the boys and everyone else that works here....

And the award goes toooo................

ME!!! I did it. I finally feel like maybe I could win that Mother Of The Year award. You know, the one I have failed miserably at for 8 years so far. I'm really feeling like the last 2 days have earned me that title. I'm sure I'll do something to f%@& that up soon enough, but for now I'm celebrating my ass off. I painted Knight's room like I promised him and I do have to say. It's freakin awesome. I really love it so much I contemplated painting the whole damn thing camo. I mean really. What else do I have to do with my days. Right?? Wrong!! It's pretty bad ass though. If Knight doesn't like it then I'm going to sleep here. :) I love it. I got the tank for the wall. Thought it was going to be bigger but it works. The helicopter for his ceiling should be here soon! I had a ton of fun doing this project. And if he doesn't like it, I'm selling him. :) ...
