It just ain't fair...

AE has been playing on this AAU team comprised of 3rd and 4th graders. They've played in 5th grade tourneys and have had so-so luck. The first week they were annihilated by the best teams in the state, however this past week the girls moved down a class and they were competitive.

The 2nd game they played went really well and they were up 23-2 thanks to a couple of little girls sinking 3-pointer after 3-pointer.

AE's coach was not pleased with the showboating and called a time out.

"What is this?" he asked one of the 3-point queens.

"We all know you can shoot a 3-pointer, so what? That is not the way we are gonna do it. You all run the offense or you will find yourself on the bench."

"Got it? It just ain't fair to the other team, it's like beating up a drunk."

Let's just say the last words of wisdom were completely lost on little girls who love Hannah Montana and still play with Webkinz.

The parents on the other hand had a pretty good laugh.

I agree with Carey. That seemed a bit odd to use that analogy. K~

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...

Hiatus no more

I don't know what it is about January, but 'round about January 15th I go into a complete and utter funk - hence no blogging. It is as if I need to cocoon for a bit, metamorphosize, and re-enter the world in February. This year has been especially bad due to our chaotic schedules with the kids, plus I have been working almost 60 hours per week as it is budget time and we are determining what exactly does "hunkering down" look like. Don't worry, work is still fun, challenging might be a better word. I truly love my new job, actually it was a promotion - didn't officially know until this week, so that jump starts the old engine as well. Other than that I have also realized in the last week my body is really, really mad at me. Things are just not working as they should and finally made the decision to go see the doctor who helped with the torn ligament a few years ago. Bottom line, just haven't been taking care of myself and he cracked me around a bit so can ...
