Lady Cats

Gotta love those Lady Cats! Why cause, many of you were once one and if you weren't u wish you were?!!!! hahaha. Tonight we start district play at Muleshoe, whose is picked number one in our district. We have had a really good practice this week. Yesterday my JV had to pretend to be Muleshoe by running their offense, well they work so well we are going to use them against them today!

Also I am very proud of our girls, I don't think very many if any at all had to go and take semester tests to take. WE have some pretty smart girls. But I had several of my JV girls that did not have to take any at all. WELL, the cruel coach I am I did not want them to sleep in late, get on a bus and sleep some more. SOOO we had shoot around at the elementary this morning at 8:15, then they stayed and helped me with P.E. Classes playing dodgeball with the kids. The elementary kids loved it, especially when I explained to them they did not have to go to school.

Good luck Lady Cats...I know you can do it, your parents know you can do it...but BELEIVE in yourself that you know how to do it...WIN!!! Go for the gold, DISTRICT CHAMPS!!!!

So if your bored tonight take stroll over to Muleshoe and watch some good girls basketball games. Even when we play at home, come out and watch. We need the stands packed!!! Cause believe me when your kids old enough to play in the Bobcat Den, you will wonder why the stands are empty!!

I heard a saying that when the girls were playing its "supper time!" How wrong is that? I took offense to it. They would only show up to watch the boys. Well, the girls did go further than the boys many years and feel sorry for those who missed out watching good girls basketball by feedin' their faces...; ).

Go Lady Cats!!!

Just Because...

I just received an email from my husband saying how much he loved me...just because! Made my day...we tend to do things for others just because but often forget those that are closest to us....husbands, wives, children, parents, n-laws. See, Botos is away right now in Waco at a Baseball coaching clinic. He will be gone for three days. Miss ya babe!

So the kids and I were alone yesterday. So after practice, I went home and got the kids dressed and we went to visit my mom at the beauty shop. There, Cora wanted her nails to be painted, but Kim was working on someone...so afterwards we went to wash the car. What a trip!!! I decided to wash it with the sprayer instead of going through the drive-thru. So I vacuumed first. The kids were sitting on the pavement watching some calves over in a lot run and play. They got the biggest kick out of it!!! I did too...those calves looked like they were playing tag...run after each other and then the other one would turn and run away... Well, then I drove the car over to get washed. The kids were running around the car and as soon as the sprayer came on Jantz happened to be behind the car and of course all of the water was blowing that direction since I started at the front of the car (Excuse...me...but I am typing right in P.E. and a kid just jumped off the stage and farted!! OMG it stinks....) Jantz was screaming and hollering telling me to stop, Cora & I was laughing. So toward the end of washing the car they both wanted to hold the sprayer, knowing in the back of my head it would knock them down, w/my help I let them hold the sprayer...they giggled and said it was "heavy." What a teachable moment.

NEW YEAR '09

Well, I did something today that I thought I would never do (GET UP AND GO WORKOUT!) for two reasons: 1) don't want to let my husband know he is right (the day isn't over yet babe) 2) I HATE getting up early. I guess I don't hate it I dread it. Botos and I was talking about that yesterday in the kitchen, about getting up early. He is an early bird, me I am NOT a morning person! I don't speak for at least an hour, Botos talks in his sleep. But back to getting up early, I had to do it in High School for cross country running & in College! 5 years of getting up and running at 6 in the morning...everyday whether we were in season or not...but back then i was able to take a nap NOW I still put it on my "to do list" whether I get to or not but I see myself as a person that requires a LOT of sleep. The morning seems to be the only time to go and workout, no kids to haul around and its over with. I know I will feel better the rest of the day, I know all the good things but to me it all goes back to that extra 60 minutes of sleep, which I require a lot of. : ) Like this morning, I set my alarm for 5:40...it went off and so did Botos...I hit the snooze button for five for more minutes...before I could hit the snooze button, here comes Botos saying "u won't ever get up and go workout hitting the snooze button." See he talks in his sleep! Its amazing he can hear mine but not his...mmmm (love ya babe). I appreciate those kind words at 5:40 in the morning supporting me to go workout. So yes I laid in bed for another 5 minutes for 2 reasons: 1) just see if he would say anything else...; ) 2) I wake up laying down in bed...some might know what I am talking about....just let me lie there and wake up not bam get up and start walking....no way! Lets see how I do the rest of the year,,,, 360 more days...crap!

When I did get home, Cora was up drinking her chocolate milk watching TV...begging me to not go to work today. I didn't want to come either but since I had already worked out I was feeling good and had to seize the day! Well, she came in to the bathroom w/me to get ready, ok so she could put on make-up... yes she is 3 1/2 and already puts on make-up more than me... I love her though, so cute so EARLY!

Well, Folks I am out to seize the day, off to fill up the coke machine in the teacher lounge so I won't have the entire CES staff upset cause they can't get their caffeine fix on this fine Monday morning...which, me, I have had no caffeine this year! I did that when I was pregnant, had no caffeine for 3 years (cokes, dr.p).

I hope you cause have a great day and feel as energized as I do...I think I could type another page if I wanted to....until next time....Mamabotos.
