Huckleberries Online

Thursday Wild Card

I am so glad I didn't pack away my long underwear. Even with them and handwarmers and a blanket, I froze last night at University High School. My suffering wasn't eased by the Wildcat's 0-4 loss. I was amazed to discover my son is the biggest and tallest kid on the team, (but he's sure not the fastest). I'm not sure if he'll ever stop growing.

Speaking of growing, our extended family is eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new baby. My sister-in-law has been in labor since yesterday. That's a long time but it's her first baby and she's 33.

Sigh. I hate waiting, but probably not as much as she does at this point.

But while I'm waiting I'll post this Wild Card.
