Orange Boy
That's my boy! Orange Boy has ventured into a new season of life: basketball. This is his first year playing on a basketball team and he is doing amazingly well. Between Orange Boy's bball and Pearly's volleyball and all the music stuff going on, it's been a bit crazy on the homefront.
I was talking to my husband the other day about his basketball as a kid. He doesn't remember his parents going to his games and it made me so sad to think about. I cannot fathom not going to my kids' games. I did notice a few girls on my daughter's vball team whose parents didn't show up. I understand not showing up for every game or even some games, but not even one game? Wow, so sad. I want my kids to know that we are their biggest cheerleaders. I can't imagine it any other way.

As I was running between dance, choir and soccer this afternoon, I asked one of my daughters, "How do people with lots of kids do this?" This is the place with the answer to that, right?
I hope basketball is going well. I enjoy watching fast sports, so I think it is a fun one for the kids to be involved in.
I think some folks use sports like babysitting. Instead of a way for your kids to challenge their minds and bodies its a time to get rid of them.
I know it's hard to run from event to event but everything about this job is hard
