BASKETBALL THE NEW CONTACT SPORT

    I'm not sure basketball is suppose to be a contact sport.  Maybe if you were participating in extreme basketball. 
   Our team and the teams we play against ( I have noticed over the last few years) are very competitive.  They always end up with alot of fouls being called.  When it comes to holding on to the ball to get a jump ball neither lets go.  They don't care if the other player is swinging them around in circles, they hold on like someone superglued them there.
  Last night was our 4th game into the season.  The seasons for the younger kids don't last very long.  we have 5 weeks of reagular games and 4 tournaments left for our season.
  When the season started me had 2 boys on injured reserve. One had broken his knee during the summer and the other broke his shoulder in November.  It was great when both boys got their medical release to play again.  Our team was back to complete.
  Last night at the basketball game, my oldest son was going for the ball.  Apparently he didn't see that someones foot was in his path, he tripped of course.  He hit the floor pretty hard and got up crying.  A trip the the emergency room followed the game.  He broke his humerus. 
  I think his season is over for the year.   Though we will not know for sure until Thursday when he sees the orthopedic surgeon.  So he is now on the injured reserve list aling with one of his buddies who broke his foot last week.

Why Must Kids Always Wait Til The Last Minute

Monday night I let Austin stay at a friends house, I know it was a school night and this is the first time I have ever allowed him to do so. I got a text from him during the day yesterday that he was going back to his friends after school. Well tonight is their Christmas Concert at school. He had not told me if they had to wear anything special for it. I text him after school and he said they had to wear black and white. Needless to say he did not mention that included black dress pants and black dress shoes. Well he isn't into the whole dress clothes thing so he does not own any. When he came home last night at 7pm he says " Mom, I need black dress pants and black dress shoes too." Now why did you not tell me this earlier when I ask. I had his black and white shirts picked up. That was why I needed to know what he was suppose to wear. The closest stores to where I live are 15 miles away. Not to far except I only get 16 miles to a gallon of gas in my truck and the only stores we have that have kids clothes are Walmart and Kmart. So have to get him his dress pants and shoes today. So it's $3.48 a gallon x 2 gallons of gas, plus whatever the shoes and pants come to. He has known this for a few weeks and now he's mad that he has to wear non-brand name clothes. Tell me earlier next time child. Gotta love em.
