It is time! March Madness is here! Now I know many of you could probably care less, but in this house that means it is time to fill out our brackets. Since Ron and I's first March Madness of our married life, back in 2001, we have filled out our brackets. We have always had a friendly competition on who would predict the most wins.
I'm sure Ron would argue and will probably comment on this, but I am pretty certain that I have won more times than not. However, Ron did win last year. My excuse...I have 4 kids, do I really need another excuse. It is just a bit distracting when you are trying to change a diaper, fold laundry, discipline a 5 year old and find a 3 year old while trying to determine who will be the years National Champion of the NCAA. But all that will not deter me, I will once again fill out my bracket and hope for the best.
When we were first married and living in Jackson MS, the winner would receive a Smoothie King from the looser. Which really was more about the fact that the title, "winner" was with it, because honestly we share money and one person purchasing the smoothie is not that big of a deal.
Lately, now that we have multiple kids we usually talk about what the prize will be, but I'm pretty sure we haven't actually gotten/given a prize in a few years.
Do you fill out a bracket? Do you have a friendly competition in your home? Anyone want to help me with a few pointers would be great. I haven't been watching a lot of basketball this season. I do know that OSU won the Big Ten, and I saw a great ending to the Houston/UTEP game this weekend, but that's about the extent of it this season.
It actually makes it more fun to say that I can get the most wins without even knowing what's going on - Makes Ron a little irritated though!

OK. This blog article cannot go unchallenged. This is just over-the-top.
1) There is record that Jan won more than me, none.
2) What is this excuse about kids? It sounds as though I don't work. I just sit and watch ESPN, which we don't have. I'm pastoring two churches dear, I was researching and writing a thesis last year. How does that compare?
3) She pays more attention than she puts on. Just last Friday night, I mentioned the NCAA tournament to a lay person in her company and she acted as though she didn't know what that meant. She can't snow me. She may have snowed those sitting around appearing very innocent...but underneith is a fierce competitor... the heart of a moma grizzly bear.
4) She's on the internet quite a bit and that signals to me, "research." Oh, ya, she is researching, looking at Los Vegas spreads, balancing out RPIs and power rankings. The exterior is soft, but deep-down there is a hard woman.
So, I'll continue to pastor two churches, take a three day candidacy exam this week, study Hebrew, go to class, do visitations, etc. while she prepares for battle on the hard wood.
Now you have the rest of the story.
