Fridays are always pretty nice. They're busy days typically because of student government meetings, but I try to pick up sandwiches from Jimmy Johns on Friday's for me and the girls to make it a bit more fun. Usually the girls have tests, assignments or tests that they have stressed out about and after Friday, things get better.
Tonight Jessi had her first basketball game and I knew she was nervous. She didn't expect to play much because she had missed practice for having her wisdom teeth out. I had to work the hockey game but made it over before the end of the 1st quarter. Jessi was put in at the end of the 2nd. She played more during the second half. The girls played Parker- ranked 6th in the state- so the score was no suprize. I was suprized by the disappointment on the way home. It's hard going from being the 3rd best in the state and the top of your team to being the worst in the state and feeling like you suck. I've heard Jessi ask herself now, "why?" not once, but several times this week. That's a good question. She lost all her games last year and still managed to have fun. She loved the game. I don't think she's having fun yet. I'm hoping in time it comes...
Balt has been increasingly naughty. He's chews on everything and has started to gnaw on his bedding and then suck on it almost like a pacifier. It's super cute and kind of annoying when he pulles out the stuffing. Having him to come home to after a tough day is always fun.
