Bunk's still in! He wrestled twice today and he pinned both opponents. I was not there for either. Today was teacher/conference day and I had my last conference at 2:45. I did not get to the arena until 4:00. I will leave work tomorrow at noon. He has a tough match at 1:00. This boy killed him in a match early on in the season. I will not watch. I can not stand to watch him. I watch the other boys and cheer them on but I simply can not watch my own. Stephen is reffing at this State tournament. It is the first time they have had all five levels of schools in one arena for a State Wrestling Tournament in the United States is what I think I read in the paper. Anyway, it was an honor for Stephen to be selected since he has only been reffing for five years. I witnessed a conflict he was having with a coach from across the arena. I don't know why he'd want to ref at this thing - way too much pressure. Kellie packed him a tool box of tips for Reffing at State. It was packed with several items - carrots for sharp eyes, a notepad to write down things he will say when interviewed by the paper, earplugs to drown out the coaches, Germ-X so that he can come home ringworm free among other things. It's really cute.

Go David!!!!
Go David!
Stay focused and keep a strong heart!!
Go David, it's your birthday!! Good luck today.
You can do it, David. Eat a baked potato. It'll do the same thing for you as a handful of Skittles.
That's funny about Kellie sending Stephen off with his coach-kit. Carrots, ha!
Who is Chrisitna? And why is she saying it's David's birthday? I hurt my brain trying to think when his birthday is and finally, after really squeezing hard, remembered it's March 28. So?
Anyway, good for you, David. We are all so proud of you here in Louisiana.
I don't know, Mom. I thought she was my sister so I corrected the name spelling once. She might have spelled it that way once and the computer is remembering her or maybe her name actually is Chrisitna. My sister would know today isn't David's birthday.
And who is Grandma? She should know that David's birthday is the same day as the twins.
I didn't even realize that Christina's name was spelled wrong until Mama's comment. I thought she was joking. Mama, you do know she was singing,"It's your birthday!" as a fun thing that good things will happen to him. I don't know how that got started? Anyone else know?
