Siete horas

Hello darlings! We lost our second game in a row tonight. Grrrr. I hate losing. It´s one thing when it´s a hard fought battle, and this was, to an extent. But, it´s another when you could have won. We just couldn´t make things work tonight. No flow on offense and the other team didn´t seem to want to miss many shots. There were moments where we didn´t block out or made stupid fouls or rushed decisions (my hand is up on that last one), but really, it just didn´t feel like we played our game tonight. There were about 6 minutes at the end of the second quarter where we went hard and came back to take the lead before halftime, but we ended losing by 6 or 8. I don´t wanna lose anymore, no fun!

The kids came to the game and Kim and Em and Jessica as well. I had quite a fan club, which was nice. Right after the game, the kids came running up to me and said, "Darby! You lost, ha ha ha!" Aren´t they precious? I think the next time Alexis has a game I´ll go and heckle him or run out and block his shot in the middle of play. Or maybe when Louise has a concert, I´ll bring some really crunchy chips and chew them while she sings or make fart noises with my hand and armpit. Seriously though, it was nice to have them there. I´m glad they got to see me play and at halftime Louise yelled down that I was doing well.

It´s been about a week alone with the kids and I have one more to go. They´ve been pretty good, but it´s draining. I never knew how much it takes out of you to tell someone to do something so many times before they actually do it. Mom, I´m sorry I didn´t rinse and load better or take my basketball bag upstairs like I was supposed to. Kim even asked them if they missed their parents today and they said no. That made me glad because I feel like I´ve been firm this time, but it sounds like they have had enough fun to forget about missing their parents too much.

The Oscars are tonight. How I will miss them! The 5 hours of red carpet interviews and the most important question of the night, "who are you wearing?" Joan and Melissa will be in my heart. Joan is such a bitch about how everyone looks and Melissa tries to be professional, but we all know she´s trashy too. I mean damn ladies, you don´t look so great yourselves. Especially Joan, her clothes always seem to be sagging off like frosting melting off of a cake. I´ll miss all the awards being handed out and the speeches and the happy faces. I hope there´s another Adrian Brody/Halle Barry moment this year, I loved that. Dip kisses are the best! I wish I could have seen more of the films this year, but it´s a small price to pay, since I´m here. I hope I can find some clips on the web. Let me know how it goes if you watch.

I have a blog I want to do on SE Navarra still, sorry it´s taking so long, but I just want to veg in my free time. Wow, I hope I´m not like this when I´m a mom... yikes stripes! Lovins all around.
