Basketball and stomach flu

So the Dick family has been so crazy busy as of late. I feel like my life is consumed with basketball. I love it though. I am so glad my kids are so active. Jalen finishes his season tonight and Maddy has just started her season.  So I am driving around crazy dropping and picking them up at practices. I have spent a lot of hours sitting on bleachers and cheering for them. Jared played in November and December also. Jalen is so aggressive as a player and I can see him really excelling as a player as he matures. Maddy played basketball in 1st grade and that was the last time she played. Her dad told her this year she had to play a sport and she went to try outs and made the team and is a starter. I feel she will do great when she gains confidence. I sometimes catch myself questioning basketball. Like who really came up with it? Why the chose to throw a ball at a basket and hope to get it in. Haha. But anyway. Also I have seen people act so stupid at basketball games but that is a blog for another day.  So anyway at the moment I am a proud basketball mom. 

Last Tuesday Jared woke up at 4am puking........... He was sick all day that day. Jalen and Maddy both had games. Staci is on seconds right now so I had the girls that evening. My dad started getting sick about 3:30pm that day as well. Well Shane stayed home with dad and Jared. My mom went to Jalens game and my sister and I went to Maddy's. Maddy's game was over she walked up and was white as a sheet and said she felt horrible. Her coach allowed her to leave and we made it home before she started getting sick. Jasmin was  the next one that evening. Katie and Elise went on a seven up, popcicle, lysol, and hand santitizer run. Then by the time they got back I was sick. Mom and Jalen came home and we had to call the ambulance to get dad he was very dehydrated and weak. The next day none of the kids went to school because Jalen woke up sick. Everyone was so sick on Wednesday. It felt like a bad night mare. But anyway I am so glad that is all past us.
