My Saturdays the last 5 weeks have been all about basketball. I'm not a huge fan of basketball...O.K.. i'm not even a little fan of basketball...O.K..I absolutely do not like the game called basketball. So my dilemna lately has been how to put on a smiley face for my three boys who all play the stupid sport. Stupid is a harsh word and I don't even know if I hate basketball so much as I hate the smelly gym my boys have to play in. By the time Connors game comes up around 4:00 or later, the gym smells and feels like a steam room or sauna that has not been cleaned in a really long time. What to do? I figured out that if I bring a magazine or a book of crossword puzzles and Kevin tells me when Jackson, Connor, or Ethan have the ball, I only have to look up for a second to see the shot made and then I can continue on with my article or puzzle.
I would just like to point out...for the record...that I love all other sports...especially football and baseball, and I still support my boys even though I would sometimes rather have a soup can dropped on my big toe a couple of times...there..now I feel better
Ethans game in the smelly gym at 11:00 am
Jacksons game in the smelly gym at 1:00 pm
And finally...Connors game in the smelly gym at 5:00
Ethans game in the smelly gym at 11:00 am

SO FUNNY! I'm loving the fact there's not a darn thing you can do about it...looks like you're going to have to sweat this one out!
Love ya sista!
gross. i hate smelly gyms. i used to swim in high school and school pools are probably equally smelly. :( what a good mom you are.
o.k. so what you are saying is that you don't like basketball? Well I hate to tell you this but with 3 boys, you are going to have to "get over it". I love basketball, baseball to me is like ripping off fake nails...painfully slow!!! Oh well, I still like you and you are a good mom to go and support them!!
I feel your pain...Hudsen hauls it to the gym every Saturday for her b-ball...but she's cute to watch. (Not that your boys aren't cute)
We seriously missed you at fight night on Sat. Next time you will have to come!
ugh i hate being in smelly gyms - and i equally hate watching aaron play basketball. its such a boring atmosphere! baseball and football are much much better! you can come with me to kaylan's ballet recitals in a few years!
Feeling your pain girl. And I only have one playing right now. Can't wait for Lacrosse season!
i bet it's the smell that gets you. those gyms get so "moist" and nasty when they play bball. I hate it too. ewww.
