Catching up.

Another week is behind us. Also behind us is the whole Coming Home thing, and the last away basketball game. Today is the last home game against a team that has beaten us twice now. It's a team from a local private school. The thing is, though, that not everyone on their team goes to that school. A few of their players go to OUR SCHOOL! Makes for a little tension for everyone involved. How can OUR students play on THEIR team you ask? Well, it's simple...I think. Anyway, this is how I understand it. Sixth grade sports are not recognized by the Tennessee Middle School Athletic Association (TMSAA). So, the players on the 6th grade teams don't have to attend the school for which they are playing. WHATEVER! Why would you want your child to play for a team at a school that they don't go to? Especially, when next year...in 7th grade, they will have to play for THEIR school team...or not play at all. Anyway, today is the last game. It's been a great season. Wyatt has learned alot and has had a great time.
So, this weekend will be a good chance to catch up on housework and laundry before the next flurry of activity hits us. I have no idea what that might be, but I'm sure it's right around the corner. On Wednesday, the Graden Gaines Foundation Scholarship Committee will meet to begin planning the 2nd Annual Softball Tournament. This year, I'm hoping that we can not only give the planned scholarships, but also help a few other families that have children fighting the hardest, bravest battles of their lives. We'll see how it goes on Wednesday.... I think that's all for now...I'm sure there is more that I have forgotten. Good thing it's a catch up weekend! Keep warm....xoxox
