Baketball fun fun fun

So tonight is a quiet night for the family. Its loooong been since coming and here it is. The kids are walking around a little lost for what to do. The dishes are washed but not dried so I am telling any of them that complains about boredom that I have a load of dishes that needs drying. That clears out the room. Sean and I laugh and think back to when our parents told us the same thing-except we couldn't just leave the room and find a game boy or a computer to play on. We had to use our stupid imagination. More then once in the same day. What in the world is this place coming to???

Last week women's basketball started and thank goodness its over. Well for the week. We got out and going on the court and were relieved when they shaved 2 minutes off of each quarter. Then about 2 minutes into the game I started needing some serious oxygen as well as new shoes. Well maybe some new feet! (but got the new shoes). Then slowly some black dots encroached around my eyes as blood started to flow. Flow is a bad description. I am sure it was full throttle into every knook of my body as I ran--NO-wobbled up and down the court. Here we are still 2 minutes into the first quarter and I was sure I was mad at my stupid mistake-showing up. I was slowly turning into jello...red jello. I think if I had a tan it would be harder to see all of the capillaries that were busting at the surface of my skin. Told you the blood was moving. So fast it didn't even know where to go it just blew up. So some kind of tan is in order. But I lived to tell the simple tale. 13 years since the last time I played. Whew. I didnt die so maybe I will do it again next week.
