Well, I am sitting here a little later than last week...so, with that being said, "it doesn't need to be 5 o'clock...it's Friday"!
I have a different view today, I am sitting in Eddis' office. I love this room. It is warm and cozy and has pictures of the family decorating the walls. The smell of the "authentic hand tied" grass cloth is gone...finally. Some days, I swear I can still smell it. Lucy, the killer Shih-Poo is curled up on the ottoman while Annie, the Goldendoodle is laying on her bed (if I look at her or say her name she will run like the wind). One thing I don't like about this room, Eddis always has the bottom part of the Plantation Shutters shut. He doesn't want anyone to see him, working or better yet, sitting in his chair while he is reading his beloved Wall Street Journal, while he is watching TV. I would say sports, but there have been many times I have walked in the room to find some show or movie on he would complain about if I had it one in the family room. I like being able to see outside. I could go and open them but well, I guess, I am too lazy today!
Basketball has been the topic in the house for the last month. It has been good, bad and ugly, at times. Sometimes, it isn't "what is said but how it is said", this case is "how it was done". We are not ones to dwell on things in this house but this basketball thing has us all in a tizzy. Even Eddis, which NEVER happens. So, what does Eddis do when things don't fall right for his son...nothing really, things just generally, work out for Eddis.
Nicky is on a tournament team that will, in the end make him a better player. That is what he needs. He is very nervous before practices but that will end, once he gets use to the new boys he is playing with. I feel for him in more ways than I care to count. All he wants, is to play with his friends and the boys he will play with next year. I don't even want to "beat that other team", etc. I just want my son to be happy, do well and have fun.
Well, that was cathartic....I feel so much better putting the crazy basketball stuff in writing, I feel a HUGE weight lifted from me. I have decided, we are going to start eating really "clean". Little processed foods will be in this house. Whole foods are the way to go. The only problem, you have to cook and clean. I have spent so much time the last week, cooking, eating and cleaning my kitchen. At times, it seems, it would be easier just to skip a meal because it is too much work. I have to say, I feel so much better. The first day, I had the WORST headache. It was awful, the next few days all I did was crave and day dream about what I was going to eat on my "gluttony" day. All I wanted was a hot fudge sundae, SERIOUSLY! A few days later, I don't have cravings but I still get my "gluttony" day tomorrow. HOORAY!
