It's Going to Be A Good Week!!

That's my confession for the week. It's already going pretty good.

Last night the family and I went to "open gym" and got in some good exercise. The school opens the gyms for three hours every Sunday night for anybody that wants to shoot around. This isn't the first time we've gone but it was the first time I decided I could play a game with the big guys. By big guys I mean high school players and male adults. Yeah, it was a little intimidating but I can lift my head high. I ended up playing four games and had a blast. I had surgery on my left knee (ACL reconstruction) last spring so I did baby that and not run full speed, but I kept up and held my own. I even made a few shots... and missed a few shots. It was so much fun. I was nervous about how my body would be reacting this morning, but thanks to Aleeve I actually crawled out of bed all on my own. YAY!!! It was however, a wake up call to just how much I really should get back into shape. These winter months have added some extra weight that really must go. Think I could get all those guys to come back to the gym every other night just so I could get in some good conditioning? Probably not, but that would be a fun way to do it. I suppose the treadmill and I should just stop glaring at each other and become best friends for a few months.

I got asked to play on a softball team this summer - that should be fun. Due to my knee I wasn't able to participate in to many things in fear of it "going out", hence the decision for the surgery. So now I can play instead of just watching. I was also asked to help coach a teen girls softball team. I'm not sure if that will work out or not, but I hope so. I would really like to get on a volleyball team too, but I don't know if there are enough nights in the week. My summer is starting to once again look very busy and full of sports - I love it! Trevor plays softball, Kale plays baseball, Nikia plays softball, and now I get to play too. Not to mention the games we attend of my nephew and nieces. The only thing I don't like about being so "on-the-go" is that it seems like summer goes twice as fast.

Before I sign off I have to mention that Kale had his last basketball tournament on Saturday. He is a 2nd grader but he and his best buddy played on the 3rd grade team this year. I know they both had so much fun and learned a lot. This isn't the last time you'll hear of these two boys. Last year they participated in a local triathlon and got 3rd place.

I took the boys to the movie "Bridge to Terabithia" on Friday. If you have not seen this movie, you need to. It's a Disney movie and rated PG. I even cried through some of it. It's a really good one. The boys liked it too. I'm not going to tell you anything about it - you have to see it for yourself.

Okay, enough rambling.
