Two quick random thoughts..
First, congratulations to my fourteen-year-old son. I know I don’t look old enough to have a 14 year old. Anyway he just won his community school basketball championship for the 7th/8th grade league. It's all the local rage in Brockton. The calm Nicole was a darn nervous wreck at the beginning of the game fidgeting and muttering under my breath. My father thought it was hysterical to watch, but I just wanted him to win so bad that I was praying that he would be calm and I was acting foolish. I should not have worried because he and his team did their thing and won handily. Everyone played and everyone got a shot at the basket - an undefeated season. Whoo - hoo!
What else happened to me this week? Oh yeah, I remember. Since I hit 36 (or "Darn near 40" as I like to call it) I surmised that I should be more fit. For the last 30 days I have been waking up between 4:30 am and 5:00 am to do the "New Year, New You" challenge from Exercise TV. They lie. I'm sweating so much that I'm starving and feeding the starvation. I renamed it, “New Year, New Feeble You.” I have been sore, but my rings fit on my finger better. What an accomplishment. My four-year old gave me a hug the other day and said, "Your back is all squishy” like it was something nice. Today I tried to pick up the 7 year old and I told him he was getting too big to lift. He grabbed my arms and said, "That’s how you build these." My kids are so witty. Can't get a break I tell you, but I'm going to keep at it and get down to my fighting weight between after freshman 15 and before baby #2. I was a respectable size then.
