Sports Lovers’ Weekend

As a family that is into so many sports, today will require time management and possibly some compromise. We’ve aged past the point of competing ourselves, but we remain huge (possibly addicted) fans. My husband’s work schedule dictates that we will feed our addictions through the TV this weekend.

There is NASCAR racing excitement on TV all day long, including pit crew competitions and the All-Star race. The Preakness, second leg of the Triple Crown happens around 6 p.m. The NBA playoffs have an afternoon and late evening  game airing today. Basketball is one sport we both actually played, so certainly we need to see some of that action. Men’s ATP tennis’ 2nd semifinal featuring  Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer is happening right now in the  Internazionali BNL d’Italia. There are also track and field events and women’s lacrosse featuring our beloved UNC team going on as I type.

Such a wonderful day for sports, but yes, we’re also tackling our chores, doing the shopping, checking in on the parents, getting some exercise, chatting with our daughter on the phone, blogging, and planning to prepare dinner, too.

All that said, I’ve got to move on to the next thing and then the next. I can’t wait for my next shower–whew. Tomorrow we’ll be asking ourselves, “What did we do yesterday? Where’d the weekend go?” If we can remember until then the scores and outcomes, whether we exercised, where we left our keys, who we visited, and what we had for dinner I guess we’ll have our answer. Great sports day to you! 🙂
