    Congratulations

    Kevin was voted #5 in the Tulsa World Sportswriters top TU Athletes from 2000-09.  Some might argue he is listed too low (like our realtor), but I say, “Way to go!”

    The ups and downs of basketball

    Well, The Boy and I had a mostly good week while Kevin had a downer week. He broke his hand this week, and after visiting the doctor in Tehran today is now sitting out for three weeks while it heals some. We are unsure of what this means and if the team will continue to [...]

    A story from Kevin

    Yesterday after practice Kevin called. There is nothing unusual about that, but he said he was packing to leave for the game.  Usually they leave on Wednesdays, so I was a little perplexed. He went on to say the team “thinks” they can catch this flight tonight, but they’re not sure, but the team is [...]

    And he’s off!

    Kevin left this afternoon for Houston, and then he will take the LONG flight to Dubai where he’ll spend a couple of days waiting on his visa to be ready. I am a mix of emotions, which is about par for the course. I know he loves the game, and this is how he makes [...]

    MIA– Daycare Drama Part I

    This is why I have been MIA…well, this AND my Master’s defense. More on that later. I was told today that the director, Hayley, does not care if we leave. They have a waiting list. Never mind that they cannot care for the children that are there! So far my issues are unresolved. I am [...]

    Family Health

    Kevin called bright and early this morning to tell me that the doctor says he has a bad contusion. Yes, a bruise.  He is to ice, rest, and take anti-inflammation medication. Hopefully the swelling will go down quickly and he can play on Monday!
    My cold appears to be correcting itself. I took yesterday afternoon off, [...]

    Spoke to Kevin…

    I just spoke to Kevin. He had to wait for the MRI, so he just got out of that. The doctor has not looked at the MRI, but he said that some other person did look and said there was not anything MAJOR wrong. I’m like– what does that mean??? He says basically nothing major [...]

    A craptastic day.

    Days like today make me want to gouge my eyes out. One. Thing. On. Top. Of. Another. It continually piles up and leaves me wanting to scream at the top of my lungs! I spent the day at work putting out fires, dealing with the incompetence of others…or unwillingness to do their job, answering a [...]

    A Kevin Update

    How do I know it is time to write about Kevin?
    Our pastor asks about him and mentions the blog. LOL!  Hi Pastor Mike! <insert me waving at you!>
    This would be so much better if Kevin wrote it, but here I go anyway.
    Well, the regular season ended.  Kevin’s team finished in 4th (correct me if I [...]
