It has been a long week. Nay, a long basketball season. This week we had a regional basketball tournament. Once again, the boys didn't do very well and I think I have this figured out upon reflection. The first part of the season we were undefeatable. The boys did great and had great attitudes. What changed? About halfway through the season, the team got a new team mate, who is big like T and we assumed this boy would make an already amazing team even more invincible. However, this boy has a horrible, horrible attitude. He started with arguing with refs, then the opposing team's players, and finally now he yells at his own teammates (more like blames them for his own mistakes) and just walks off when the coach tries to talk to him. He is rude and unsportsmanlike. I do not like him and T doesn't either. T thinks he is a whiny baby. I honestly feel his horrible attitude has seeped through the team and effected all the players. I liken it to a bad apple. If you don't throw it out, it will turn all the other apples bad. The boys went from having fun and enjoying basketball ball, to complaining about the refs at every game. I really hope this player decides NOT to make the trip to Nationals with us. I think everyone will play better without him.
D is doing better. He starts back to work on light duty in another week. Basically, he will work a week and then we have vacation for another week. Well, technically it's a basketball tournament, but I am squeezing in a mini vacation too. I hope. We are only scheduled to have one game a day, but they said that about Austin too and one day we had three games. I have my heart set on finally visiting the Springfield aquarium and one way or another that's happening.
L got her cap and gown in the mail this week and we are all set for her graduation ceremony in Allen in April. I can't believe I am down to just one kid still in school. Life goes by so fast! One of the moms on T's team has two little girls about ages 5 and 3. They remind me so much of L and A that it makes me realize how long ago it was that they were wearing princess dresses to C's football games!
A has been a little overwhelmed this semester with school. One of her classes requires her to make several video projects that has her stressed out and having to take care of the animals while we're gone kind of pushes her over the edge. Plus tomorrow we are getting 9 new baby chicks so she will be really busy the week we are gone with taking care of the animals, working, and doing school. She might even take the summer off this year just so she can have a break.

| Kinsey is so helpful with trying to open my mom's gift. |

| Even C came over to celebrate with us. It was like the old days with all my kids there having dinner at Grandma's house. |

| The candles were neat. They had different color flames. |

| The kids had to have a picture to prove I actually willingly parked in the first spot. I always park way out in the parking lot, but HEB had huge spaces so I was willing to park close. Since Austin, we are huge HEB fans! Luckily, the last tournament was in Frisco so there was one only a mile away. We had to go after our last game, even though it was pretty late. |
