This is Nathan's Mom again. Nathan can't write on his blog today because he's so oppressed by his mother that he's depressed! He was woken up by his gorgeous and delightful mother at 9am. The sun was shining. The dog was happy to see him this morning. BUT his mother (wonderful & imaginative) MADE HIM watch the olympics instead of cartoons. Yep, cuddling on the couch mid-morning watching...THE OLYMPICS. You can see the torture in that scenario. Nathan was in so much emotional pain by this dreadful event that he's thinking of re-writing his wedding vows to sound something like this: "I promise to love & protect you and never make you watch the olympics instead of morning cartoons."
During the olympic torture we did find out that czech & slovakia are experts at kayak slolam - an event we didn't even know was in the olympics. Fun to hear it was the Slovak National Event - and then to cheer for both Slovak & Czech. Torture with an international twist!
Nathan's Mom out (I have to find Nathan and irritate him some more before lunch! haha!)

Three cheers for Nathan's mom, and even Nathan the rain cloud! =)
Nathan's Mom,
you sound like a fantastic woman. I wish I could spend some time with someone like you watching the olympics. Nathan is pretty lucky to have such a wonderful Mom!
I trained Nathan's mom well; study to torment you children! She had to endure the same type torture when berry picking, camping, and attending church dinners.

You don't like the olympics? Or you just prefer to watch them after the cartoons? Personally, I have a problem with how the tv stations cover the olympics. For example, I had no idea there was any kayaking! The track and field events were interesting to me. So, now that the olympics are over i guess you can see the cartoons again! :-)

P.S. I'm sorry that you broke your butt. That must have hurt! I hope it is getting better.
