And so it begins... weeks and weeks devoted to my least favorite sport. That's not entirely true. I hate other sports more than basketball, but those other sports do not invade my house and children and husband. So, Jeff printed up the brackets and they're mostly filled out waiting for the opening tip-off.
I said mostly b/c last year's winner (Evan) is being a whiney jerk. We forced him to fill out the brackets last year and he had a great time comparing wins and losses and eventually sneaking the grand prize right out of MY grasp. He's currently pouting in his room which is where I sent him after his whiney little fit. I would totally let it go. Pick your battles and all that; plus he beat me last year. But Jeff wants everyone to participate and it was fun last year after we made Evan do it. But Jeff took himself off to an office filled with rational people who do not whine (at least not out loud) and left me here to drag choices out of the whiner. It's gonna be a long day.
IT'S A MIRACLE!! Mere minutes after I posted this, Evan came into the family room and told me, "Mommy, I'm ready to pick my teams." And he did. His bracket is filled. He has North Carolina going all the way, as do Jeff and I. Adam and Ryan both picked Memphis to win it all. Let the games begin!!
Clarification: People are wondering.... the disturbing Google searches that led me to make my blog private were someone looking for pictures of preteens. They were followed by clicks on pictures of the kids playing outside, specifically pictures that included our house, as if someone is trying to find it. I know I've shared too much information and I got scared.

Even I, a lover of NBA games, will tell you that March Madness is indeed madness. I'm all about my beloved San Antonio Spurs, girlfriend, but COME ON!!!!! How many college games do they have to show them? And why????
DH is glued to the games, too. I told him: "Dude, I love the NBA and I love the NFL. It's bad enough I'm a devout Steelers fan and Spurs fan. But college, too? A gal's gotta draw the line somewhere. And college sports is that line."
UGH.
We do the brackets in our house. I was winning right up until the end. I too had NC playing Memphis for the title, with North Carolina winning. Needless to say I lost. My son and dh beat me.
