We're playing basketballlllllllll



So we have been in basketball heaven these last few months.  No, seriously, we have.  I love basketball.  I love watching basketball, playing basketball, and coaching basketball.  That's right, I said coaching basketball.  This year I got to get back into the game (pathetic pun, i know) since Maggie said she wanted to play.  Unfortunately, I have taken quite the hiatus from the sport.  Like a 15 year hiatus, (Ugh...the fact that I can say I haven't done something in 15 years makes me want to cry!!!)  which made me feel a bit out of touch when I first started.   Like my friend Nicki has told me, "it's just like riding a bike."  So i went with that little saying and jumped back in.  I loved coaching maggie's team and I am hoping to be able to assist an AAU team this spring.  Not sure if it will work out since we've got quite a few things going on.  Here is our list:
     Ezeekai's baseball
     Nathan's AAU basketball
     Corey's AAU basketball and his baseball
     Maggie's horseback riding
     Jaida's piano
     Fahnta's cooking class (maybe, haven't signed her up yet)
Sounds like a busy spring but it is so much fun to watch our kids doin things they love.  Speaking of things and love.  This song!!!  I remember when this came out on the radio.  I remember watching the video on MTv.  I remember singing the song on busrides home from basketball games.  I didn't remember how bad the video actually was.  Yeah, 1984 wasn't a good year for music videos:-)  But, I did want my kids to see a little piece of MTv history.  Haven't broken out the Michael Jackson "Billy Jean" video yet, but i am sure Kurtis Blow is a close second!!!
