Basketball season is over!!!!!




Well, basketball season is over & I have my husband back. I'm virtually a single mother during basketball season. My hubbie gets home from work in the afternoon, takes a quick recharge cat nap & then he's out the door to coach his Junior Varsity basketball team. He loves sports & LOVES coaching. I LOVE going to the games & watching him coach. One of my favorite parts of the game are the time-outs when he's talking to his players. He gives such good pep talks. He's firm but motivating. My favorite thing that he says to his players is, "Play till the end. Don't stop. Play till the end!" He says this whether they are winning or losing. He doesn't believe in giving up, backing down or taking a break. He paces the floor like a dad with a child on the way. I truly enjoy watching him as much as I enjoy watching the game. The kids love going to the games as well. The kids & I have been nicknamed, "The Cheerleaders" because we cheer so much & so loud. Pardon those of you who are L-town fans, but they are a lame group. Sometimes I wish he coached for another school that truly had some school spirit. Regardless we support Lonnie & his team. I'm proud of how hard he works & happy he found something that he enjoys.
