About ten months ago my darling husband asked me if I would be interested in going to the NCAA tournament. YES YES and more YES. For several reasons, one, spend the day watching basketball, two, spend the day watching basketball with my husband, and three, a day to be a real grown up. Needless to say once we got tickets from the lottery (nine months ago) I asked Chris who is going to watch the kids. We'll figure it out when it gets closer was the response.
So as of Tuesday night I had it all figured out, (Thank you Amber and the GREAT Auntie Liz). When Sam woke up on Wednesday morning with a "froggy throat" I went into panic. I kept him home that day and figured a day of rest will make him so much better there will be no chance of us missing the games. (OH how I still need to learn how to hope as a mother.) The morning of we took our time going to school and had Sam and Amy dropped off by 10 to get downtown by 10:30. We had a great morning with no phone calls from anyone... Right before the last game we got the call, Amy has a fever and threw up in the car on the way home, and Sam is crabby and went right to sleep (6:30) when he got home. So the wonderful Auntie Liz took care of my two very sick kids so I could still have my day off.
Spending the day in their "dammies" has helped today and I am hoping with all hope that by tomorrow morning they will be well enough to head South to Eugene so I can again enjoy a wonderful day of Chris, basketball, and some adult time.
Thank you to my village!!
