Discombobulated . . .

 

 

Not sure why I feel discombobulated today. Could be because I've never gone to a real, live basketball game on a Sunday afternoon? It really was a lot of fun to watch  our #12 of the Groton Heat (7 and 8 year olds)  playing the Groton Cavaliers. First game of the season for the Heat's coaches also. They are 19 and 21 year old sailors. Now that is super cool. The Cavaliers won 20 - 16 but it was a good game and I was yelling as if I were yelling at  a UCONN game when they played in the Field House umpteen years ago! As far as I'm concerned Kiddo had an assist! The game is four eight minute quarters with a five minute half time. There are 10 kids on each team so 5 start a quarter for 4 minutes then the other five play the last four minutes of the quarter. Pretty solid way to get all the kids playing. I have no idea what the rules are but the NBA rules don't apply!

We had enough snow to go sledding Friday night and Saturday morning. It's a good thing Kiddo took advantage of the snow because it almost hit 60 degrees today and the hill is bare. Had the best present this week. Youngest of our kiddos called and we all spoke for about 45 minutes. Generally don't have the luxury of that much talk time. Will get to see my younger sister Wednesday if the weather stays fine. Will probably go earlier than usual and get some breakfast at the Harvest in Simsbury. My mouth is already watering. Going to see Dr. Foley tomorrow for a follow up appointment so he can tell me what great shape I'm in! I really do feel great especially after I complete those darned My Fitness Coach sessions on the Wii. Who'd a thunk it. Oh yes, ere I forget.  I've decided Puppies' Pop is correct about getting rid of the junk and et cetera we have all over the place.  I've picked out the stuff I still can't part with and made a pile of the rest. I hope he acts fast before I go back and save some more junk! I think I've put in the link to the short video Grampa made of our Saturday sliding.
