REMINDER: Tomorrow (Feb. 1st) is the last day to enter my $450 Caden Lane baby bedding giveaway sponsored by btrendie! This is a FABULOUS deal and the cutest bedding you can imagine. Even if you can’t use it, it would make an amazing gift, giveaway for your own blog or heck…ebay anyone? Run over and enter!
I am a miserable, vomitous mass so this is a quick entry. I know, I know…I am the sickliest girl ever. I try not to bitch too much about it, but doood…we are going on day 4 of vomit-ville and I am worn out and tired.
Anyway, that is a lame and boring subject, so I will tell you what is making me burst with parental pride.
JAMES TOOK 2nd PLACE IN STATE WRESTLING!!!!
I am so proud of him. The kid is really good at it and strong as they come. I birthed an ox, yo. James is not overly tall but he is strong and BIG. And Christopher is even bigger. He’s 3 years younger than James and is already a lot taller than his older brother. I have huge offspring. It’s my solace for not having any girls. They would probably sing Baritone and need help waxing their back. :S
I am not a fan of sports, and James father has been the one in charge of supervising his wrestling as he used to be a wrester as well. I did get to see him wrestle though and it was quite the experience. I’ve never been to a wrestling tournament before, which as I sat there and thought about it, is just WEIRD because my high school boyfriend was a wrestler. I am still not sure how I never saw a match but I kind of regret it. Because while the entire gym REEKS OVERWHELMINGLY OF STINKY TEENAGE BOY, it would have been an, um…REALLY NICE OBSERVATION SPORT for a high school girlfriend who thought her man had awesome legs. I totally missed out. Maybe I can get Jonathan a singlet and role play some time. Heh.
Anyway, this is not about my pervy spandex fantasies from a time when I had no crows feet and sported scrunchie-clad, triple processed hair. It’s about how AWESOME my kid is.
He’s medaled 5 times this season, including 1st place in regions and 2nd in state. I cannot believe that something that came from me excels at something that requires both physical strength and coordination, but he rocks the house at it.
At least we know where his personality comes from.
Sigh.
STUD.
Oh lord, the smell. I can smell it! When I was a cheerleader we used to share a gym with the wrestlers. One of them got ringworm on his face. It looked like a baby hickey.
Studs! Great job for them!!!
Go James! My best friend’s boyfriend was a wrestler in h.s. and one year I joined her in being a statistician for the team. The, umm, views were enjoyable at the time. However, it is humiliating that we were called “Mat Maids.”
Fabulous! I know you are one proud mama!
My five year old wants to wrestle. BEHOLD MY FUTURE.
Congrats to James! That’s fantastic!
Congrats James. Do you practice much at home? Fantastic effort. Hope you’re feeling better soon Loralee (and no-one else has it).
Sorry that you are feeling sucky-poo, hope that goes away soon (as in leaves your home entirely) and you can get back to being your non-sicky-poo fabulous self!
Awesome to James and the accomplishments!!! Wrestling is a very hard sport so kudos to his skills and stick-to-it-ness!
Now, Loralee, go take a nap sicko! :)
Yay James!!!!
Do you realize that you still have many years of wrestling tournaments ahead of you? Although I never thought this before, maybe it’s a good thing that so few colleges have wrestling programs anymore.
Sorry you are still barfy. Grace started at 3:00 a.m. this morning. I am hoping we can get things settled down in order to still perform tonight :0
Awesome!!
My 16-year-old stepson is a wrestler. You meet some “interesting” parents at wrestling tournaments. I especially love the ones who yell at their 7-year-olds after they lose. Nice parenting there, Bubba.
Aww, I’m sorry your so sickly and I hope you feel better really soon!!!
Yay James!! That’s so awesome!!!
YAY JAMES!!
PS- Feel better friend. I am so sorry you are puking. I think you puke a lot…. That sucks!
Congrats to your son! That is pretty awesome.
Wow–STATE! Very impressive! (Cue music: He’s a BRICK. House.)
*giggle*
‘grats to him and y’all. ;)
