Bastards and rodents

Friday.....the 13th (cue the sinister music)

Snow in the forecast. Not sure how much we will get, they are saying 2-6 inches.

The girls lost the basketball game last night. Jess scored 11 but missed some close shots. They were contested but she should have hit them.

Toward the end of the game the girl she was guarding swung her elbow hard, back into Jess. It knocked the wind out of her and the ref called a foul on Jess. Well, I about lost it. One of the other refs came over to the first ref and said the girl intentionally swung her elbow but the first ref would hear none of it. Called the foul, two shots for the other team.

We were down by two and there were 6 seconds on the clock. The play they drew up was for Jess to get the ball out of bounds, drive to the basket and take the shot. We had another girl (the ball hog) was to be on the opposite side of the basket to get a rebound in case she missed. Well ball hog ran to Jess' side and brought her defender with her. Jess was already double teamed so there were three on her. She took the shot and missed as time expired.

She feels like she lost the game for the team but I talked with her after the game and told her she is going to have a bunch of last shots and some will fall and some won't. I told her that when she hits the game winning shot in a game, remember how she feels now. A fine line between goat and hero.

No school today. Jess has practice this morning. Drew had a friend stay overnight last night.

Tomorrow Jess has practice and then heads up to Minneapolis for volleyball.

I hate snow. The ref from last night and that damn Puxatony Phil ground hog are both on my list of thing/people that need their ass kicked.

With a bit of attitude, I start my day!
