In Full Swing again

So, the Winter sports officially started a week ago (tomorrow).
We've already had two concussions! Wrestlers. What do you expect when they're slammin' each other on the mat? Honestly! For one of them I called the ambulance. Landed on his neck/shoulders and was having tenderness on the spine with tingling and numbness down his arms and hands. Scary! I sure didn't want to move him. He ended up being okay. No spinal fracture. Just sprained ligaments in his neck/back along with the concussion (his 4th). His parents decided he's done wrestling. Probably a good choice since he's like a zillion times more likely to get another concussion! Too bad though, I liked the kid.
Well, along with concussions, the rest of our wrestling team isn't doing so great either. I think I have about 10 guys dealing with injuries already (most were from football). Sprained AC, dislocating shoulder, back pain with instability, sprained knees, sprained ankles and fingers, random unexplained pains, unknown elbow injury (waiting for MRI). The list goes on. Poor guys. I dont think I'm ready for bloody, any injury's likely, gotta have quick hands cuz injury time's only 2 minutes, matches.
Ready or not!

Random rant

So, I mentioned a few weeks ago that my house is a disaster! Well, still a disaster. And I'm blogging to you about it. I decided I'm just lazy. And I hate cleaning. But I worked out on Friday! The first time in...well, ages. I cant even remember the last time. Pathetic. It was actually really great! Now I just need to figure out how to wake up at the butt crack of dawn to get it done regularly, cuz really, that's the only time that might work. Today, didn't work.
I've been babysitting my sister's kids (2 and 1 yr old) on Mondays, and sometimes Wednesdays so she can go to school. Wow, it makes for a long, unproductive day at home! Two, two-year-old girls creates lots of drama and messes. Not to mention the 1yr old. He's a screamer and loves to throw things. Awesome. I think I'm balding from all the hair I'm pulling out (not really, put some days, ugh, I'm tellin you!) Literally, every time you turn around, you're cleaning up or preventing one mess to find a different one waiting right around the corner. Ahhh! And I thought I was going to have 5-6 kids? Tell me it gets better when you have one old enough to "help".
If I had twins I think I'd truly go crazy - loony bin crazy. My sis-in-law, Martha is truly a saint! She has to deal with my brother, twin boys, and their older brother. Whew, too much testosterone!
Then again, Azilyn's drama isn't a cake walk either. She's in a whiny, fake cry, meltdown over everything, clingy for hugs and kisses when something doesn't go her way stage. Wow, am I over that already! I love my daughter. I love my daughter. I LOVE my daughter!
We had physicals at the HS today. I was thrilled that I could get a doc to come to the high school. It's so much more convenient for the kids, however, I was disappointed. Not a very good turn out, less than 10. It did make a few bucks for my AT budget though. Yea!
And now I'm done. Super tired.
