That was #2’s fever last night.

I guess that headache he was complaining about was real, huh?

So, the Fishdog and I are switching out today. I’m going in this morning–hoping to accomplish my to do list before I come home after lunch to sit with a sick boy.

He’s feeling okay this morning. I usually feel like run over dog crap if I have a 99.1 fever. But he’s up and watching tv and sneezing.

Poor thing.

On another note, I’d like to take this time to bitch about the County Supervisors in our area who voted down the Sportsplex for the community. They expect the city to fund the project but want their county families to be able to participate without taking any financial responsiblity. That’s what my daddy called gettin’ sumpin’ for nuttin’. And that dawg don’t hunt here, boys.

In response, the City Aldermen voted (7-0) that only city kids will be allowed to participate in 2007 events. What this means is that most likely there will be no basketball and no spring soccer because the county kids make up about 58% of the program. Yeah. that’s what I said. They have the majority of kids in the program yet the Supervisors refused to help fund the Sportsplex. Those parents ought to be hoppin’ mad.

The only ones to get hurt in all this are the kids. And hell, they don’t count do they? They’re just kids, after all.

The Fishdog and I are starting to look for programs in Memphis and in Tupelo. I hate the thought of driving an hour or more each way for sports, but you know, it might be for the best. I hate local politics especially over something so damn stupid. This was a no brainer, y’all and y’all screwed the pooch.

What cracks me up is that I was brought up in a small bedroom community outside of Little Rock. (it’s not so small now a little bigger than oxford) Anyway, they’re a very sportscentric community like Oxford…the only difference is, they’ve embraced their growth. The city and surrounding communities voted in a multi-million dollar complex that will be state of the art and have both rec and competitive sports available. I never thought the county supervisors would be this closed minded. This area is sports obsessed. What the hell were they thinking?

Okay, sorry to bore y’all with stupid local ignorance. Back to your regularly scheduled blogging.
