GO TEAM USA!!!How amazing would it be to stand on the podium at the Olympics, with a gold medal around your neck, and listen to the National Anthem?? I am sure words can't describe it (obviously I will never know, I am not exactly in tip-top shape). But, I get teared up just watching it!! I am absolutely lovin' the Olympics and I looked so forward to them being on this summer. The summer Olympics are my favorite and I so much enjoy them: the volleyball, sand volleyball, gymnastics, swimming, diving, track (esp. the hurdles) and Tad loves the wrestling!!
It is so amazing to watch these incredible individuals compete at that level!! I am very sleep deprived because I have been staying up late to enjoy them and every morning I am tired as hell and I tell myself that I am going to go to bed early and not watch, but to no avail, I am up late again watching the action!!
I remember 4 years ago, Tad and I were watching the Olympics with Jaden, who was crawling/running around us at the tender age of 10-11 months and we had the conversation that 'won't it be weird that when the Summer Olympics are on again, it will be the year 2008 and Jaden will be turning 5 and she will probably have a little sister or brother in the house also'.
I really remembering thinking that it 4 years seemed so far away and I wondered what our life would be like in 4 years, and now here we are, 4 years later. It has gone by so fast. I wonder what our life will be like in another 4 years. Wait, in 4 years I will be sending Cael off to kindergarten?! OMG!! That is only 4 short years away and all my kids will be in school full time?! I hope it goes slow.
Anyways, I hope everyone else is enjoying the Olympics as much as I am.. Go USA!

don't even start talking about Cael going to school, I am having enough trouble accepting that Jaden is going this year, she still seems so small. Time needs to slow down, all my wonderful grandkids are growing up tooooooo fast.
OMG - I know what you mean about the Olympics. I have bags under my eyes from lack of sleep! :)
