Yesterday...

Seemed so long ago....(remember that song!?) It was actually on Monday when Botos received a call from Eric KP around 9. Come to find out that Botos was introduced to Fatboy Outdoor Hunting. His gig was to catch a baby pig (wild hog) to win $80 bucks...if you haven't seen the video go check it out at Fatboyoutdoor.blogspot.com Its so stinkin'hilarious!!! Those guys are crazy that do those videos...its cool to see grown men still trying to stay young...good group of guys. Funny but crazy!!!

I was able to go to the park yesterday and visit those poor little ducks on the pond in the park. The kids and I plus Aaron were sitting down enjoying our McNuggets and then BAM...we were swarmed by all the ducks in Childress county...of course the kids got excited so they fed the ducks their french fries...BUT poor Jantz couldn't get rid of his fries quick enough...the biggest goose/duck whatever it was, snapped his poor little hand, yes his entire hand in its mouth!!! Jantz had the craziest look on his face like, duck what are you thinkin? I think he might have slapped that poor duck if he didn't hurt him so bad...I was rolling, couldn't help but laugh...it was a great afternoon to spend w/the kids.

A shout out to Sarah, hope u can hear this ;) hahaha welcome to bloggin!!! I would like to also say "Amen!" on your feelings about coaching/kids. I feel like I don't know that I could do this the rest of my life but its the only thing I know to do. The best rule is K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid). But now working at the Elementary where we are WILD!!! I have learned that these kids that things are handing to them, really did have things handed to them. It all started when they were in the 1st & 2nd grade. I have had an issue lateley w/those two grades about wearing boots to P.E. of course they all got new boots for Christmas so I let them wear them the month of January but now I have had enough of boots and the stuff that tends to get stuck on the bottom of those boots....poop!! So come MOnday I wrote up about 8-10 behavior slips to those that wore boots...I know I am so mean...and it worked!!! I haven't seen or smelled another pair of boots since then...but I could be speaking to soon. Keep those fingers crossed....

Well, today is Thursday and I got up and went and worked out, yep I did. It was so hard but I feel better and have been up now for 3 hours, some of you might still be asleep or only been up for only 3 minutes...yep, you know who you are!!! I hope you all have a good day today cause I am going to make the most of the 24 hrs I have in this day and challenge you to do the same, yes Botos I know that means to clean up around the house, that should happen some where around the 15th or 16th hour today, but don't hold me to it, it SHOULD happen... ; ) laugh about it would ya!

Until next time...mamabotos

No idea...

You ever wonder why people act the way they do or try to get away with things? I have no idea either. It amazes me how people take their jobs, some serious or just en0ugh to get by. I know we all take short cuts every now and then and there are days where u don't feel like working but you can't afford not to miss. Yesterday was my day of NOT wanting to come to work. I woke up looking forward to summer!!! Not a great way to start off the month of February...

I have some news I would like to share. I was fortunate to play college basketball at a very prestige university, Wayland Baptist: Flying Queens. Here is a little about their program:

Flying Queens Basketball - Women
17 NAIA National Tourney appearances
NAIA National Runner-up in '86, '92
1997 Final Four appearance
10 AAU national championships
Won more games (1,421) than any other women’s collegiate program
28 NAIA All-Americans

At that school the girls basketball program ran the school...we had our own mascot, team name (different than the other team sports: Pioneers), own planes to travel to our of town games, plus many more advantages. But I am not here to brag, the school opened in 1909, this year for the homecoming the University will be celebrating 100 years and as well as honoring the top 50 womens basketball team in the last 100 years and I am very very proud to say that our 98-99 team will be honored as one of the top 50 teams of Flying Queens Basketball program!!! You don't know how important this is to me...!! I can't wait for Feb. 21st!!! To see and meet all the other Flying Queens and you know what...Marsha Sharp was a Flying Queen Bee...that's right on the JV but then later on the Varsity...so that goes to show that not all great coaches were great players as well. I am soooo looking forward to that weekend, I have already been in contact w/one of my teammates Shaun Weaver, awesome point guard from Sudan TX (state championship team and MVP). You know to me I had to grow up, build a lot of character. But I was on a team full of the top Panhandle girls all combined on one team, how good were we....very good!!! hahah ;) I am looking forward to talk and reminise about the glory days w/girls I haven't seen in quit sometime.

Once a Queen...Always a Queen!!!

Until next time...Mamabotos!!!

P.S. Its also where I met the love of my life...Botos. We have been together for a total of 13 1/2 years (dated 7 1/2 and been married for 5 1/2 !!) I love you babe...no wonder they call Wayland Baptist University...WEDDING BELLS UNIVERSITY!!!
