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....

Describes me perfectly yesterday. My kids were right on my ass all day claiming they were bored, or just plain trying to annoy me. It was brutal. I just wanted to watch the Husker game and shop online with some sort of quiet. Minus the swear words being thrown at the tv occasionally. I swear the Huskers are going to be responsible for sending me to an early grave. Bastards! So today we're meeting friends and taking the kids to a movie. At least they'll have to be quiet for an hour and a half. Or get kicked out of the theater. In that case they can go to kiddie jail while I enjoy that time of silence. :) In the meantime, they are going to clean up all their toys and do a little vacuuming for their mother. Ahhhh.....sweet revenge. On the diet front. Things are going as planned. I didn't gain anything over Thanksgiving. The wonderful thing about 2 shakes a day!! I'm right on track fo...
