The Weekend Wrapup-Winter Break Comes to an End

The end of another week is upon us.  I'll be honest.  This has probably been one of my laziest weeks in recent history.  And I loved it!  It was the last week of winter break, its back to the routine on Monday.  This week we've mostly stayed home and done a whole lot of nothing.  I really enjoy these kind of weeks where we can just stay home and do things on our schedule, or not do thing if we so choose.  I'm not winning any parenting awards for this kind of week, I let my kids have way too much screen time, way too much junk food and nowhere near enough physical activity. But, y'know, sometimes you just need a week like this.  The week as a whole has been very relaxing and undemanding, but today did not fit with the rest of the week.  Today was basketball tournament day.  C's basketball team was participating in a basketball tournament in a nearby town about 30 minutes away.  His first game started at 8:00am and the coach wanted us there at 7:30!  That was really early!  We had to leave the house at about the time we're usually starting to get up on a school day.  The next game was at 11am and then we had games at 5 and 7pm.  It was a really long day, thank goodness my parents came to the 5pm game and took H home with them afterwards so she only had to go to 3 of the games instead of all 4, watching bubba's games just really isn't her thing.  We only won one game, but it was against a team that beat us soundly the week before Christmas, so it felt pretty good to win.  The boys had a good time and played their best, which is all that really matters.  Everyone was exhausted by the time it was all over.  I bet C will sleep good tonight, I know I will!  Tomorrow I plan to take it easy and rest up, Monday is the start of another busy week!
