The baby has been asleep for nearly 2 hours, the boys are also quietly sleeping and I'm very tired. So why don't I go to sleep you ask? Well, my husband is playing church ball (basketball at the church with a bunch of guys for those who don't know). I wait up every week, even though I should go to bed, because I know that someday I will get the dreaded phone call that he is seriously injured. So tonite when the phone rang earlier than usual, my first question was, "Are you injured?" This is why I wait up for him every week.
When he got home he first went to the fridge for a cold water bottle, and proceded to tell me about the injury. I had to stop him short to tell him to wipe away the blood before it dripped into his eyeball.
Of course he'll go back for a beating next week. Boys will be boys. Is this what I have to look forward to with 3 more boys?! I need a vacation.

Ah, the basketball injuries. The marines and some of the embassy employees play basketball here every thursday. Not quite like church ball, of course...but once, one of the guys got slammed in the leg...dislocated his knee, ripped out some tendons, did some major damage. They had to send him immediately to the US for surgery and the subsequent 3 months of recovery! Yikes! But, as you said, boys will be boys!!!
