I have to tell you, this Olympic thing is really starting to get addicting! I finally wrapped things up and went to bed about 1 AM this morning, and even though I was so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open, I turned them on in the TV that’s in our room. I wanted to hear everything that was going on, but I was worried the sound would wake up my husband, so I hit the menu button on the remote and turned on the closed captioning so that I wouldn’t have to worry about that…LOL!
I have to admit that I really look forward to watching Michael Phelps swim, it’s just mind blowing to see this young man break record after record! I’m bummed that he won’t be in another final until Friday, but you can bet your toosh I’ll be tuned it when it happens! The kids have been coming out here and watching the Olympics with me too! When their dad goes to bed, they’ll shut down their computers and come out here to sit with me and watch what’s going on! That in itself, is a miracle!
OH, and I’m not sure if you’ve heard yet or not, but one of the girls from the US gymnastics team actually performed last night with a broken ankle. I read on Yahoo News that Chellsie Memmel revealed after the medal ceremony that she had a broken bone in her ankle on August 4th. All I can say is OUCH, but that’s how dedicated to their sport these kids are!
