My Weekend

I had a busy weekend and it felt really good. I am beginning to feel like I have a life again. Despite the bitter cold, of which I have had enough, I don't have much to complain about. I spent most of Saturday at Morgan's basketball tournament in Lennox. The first game was at noon and they won it 34 to 2. This put them in the winners bracket and the worse they could do was finish 4th out of 8 teams. The next game was a low scoring game but a really tough. Those girls from Sioux City were mean. The refs refused to call fouls so there was something like 200 jump balls! Keep in mind these are only 5th grade girls. They lost but fought hard. It always amazes me when I watch them play how well they handle the ball and how serious they are. After that game we all went to Pizza Ranch and those composed serious girls turned into giggly little girls again. The last game was for 3rd place. Again a low scoring game and they had a chance to win but the earlier game had just taken too much out of them. We were so proud of Morgan, she got an elbow in the nose and we saw tears but she kept on playing until her coach noticed and pulled her out. It was a fun day but a pretty long one for Addie. She is just not used to having to sit in one place for a long period of time. She just has to be on the go all the time. We got back home about 8pm and I am sure the little pumpkin went right to bed.

Today was Morgan's first communion. Mom decided that she would venture out for church. I am not sure how much she really gets out of it. We have contemporary music which I know she is not used to and today Pastor Mel had the sermon and I think she has a hard time hearing her, but she did get to take communion with Morgan and that made it worth it. There was brunch at Chris and Nikki's but she declined to go there. She did not want to have to go out in the cold again but the real reason is then she would not get her noon meal at the apartments and she pays for that in her rent you know! Bob did come to church and to the kids for brunch but we did not talk much to each other and it really did not bother me. I think I am beginning to really let go.

Ran to Target and got a few things "I had to have" (I love those 75% off signs) and a prescription filled. Got my laundry done and finished my required reading for Tuesday night, I still have to do the questions. I also started a new book, a start on that bin I have to empty before I can buy anymore books.

As I type this I just watched the Giants miss what would have been a winning field goal with only 4 seconds left in a tied game against the Packers. As much as it pains me to say it I am glad. Packers won the toss as well so if they can just move the ball and get at least a field goal they are Super Bowl bound. Oh no Farve just got intercepted!!!! I keep thinking about the crazy people in the stands sitting outside in that freezing weather, are they nuts? Here goes another kick by the Giants and it.............is...................good! Damm! Won't be much of a Super Bowl again this year.

Still don't have my car back from the shop. I may not get it back until Tuesday. Luckily the insurance is extending my rental.

It sounds like this week we will not see much relief from the cold. The only positive thing I can say is that when it is 30 degrees again it will feel like a heat wave.

Back to work tomorrow.........The weekend just goes by too fast!
