My Athletic Prowless... That's right... ProwLess.

Tonight, I got to hang out with the little kids instead of the youth kids, because Matt requested my assistance. It was so cool, b/c I had 5 boys, all extremely hilarious, and lots of fun. I truly enjoyed myself. They were great.

But, I learned something very valuable about myself during the time of fun and games with those fellas. And that, my friends, is that I am incredibly out of shape. INCREDIBLY out of shape.

How did I come upon this deep knowledge?

Oh, my... It was quite the journey to discovery for me.

Well, the kids wanted to play Hide and Seek. I straight up got tagged by an 11-year-old. Yes. I hung my head in shame.

But that was only the beginning. A lively game of freeze tag on the playground ensued. Which was fine as long as I was "supervising" (which is apparently, old person talk for, "I'm too old to run."), but then the guys were like, "You be it!" And, I, of course, hoping to prove my lack of oldness, decided to take them up on it. I failed. I only proved that, not only am I old... I'm also slow and sluggish. lol. I sucked at Freeze Tag.

So on to better things... Like, going inside after the parents were done, and hanging out for a bit... All fun... Until a 2 kids under 11 decided it would be fun to play monkey in the middle... with me in the middle. Should be easy enough, right? They're half my age, and approximately half my height. How hard could it be?

Really

Really

Ridiculously

HARD.

Those kids kicked my butt at Monkey in the Middle. Kicked my butt!

I don't know which was worse... Actually being beaten by the kids, or being told by Josh Ridings... Famous Hope Point and various other ministries wide for his worship music... that I had indeed hit rock bottom. I mean, knowing it myself was tough... But... Dude... Josh cut me deep.

lol.

I'm not sure they pay me enough to console me in the crushing of my pride. lol.

But, honestly, it was so much fun, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. And now, I'm gonna go get some much needed sleep. Because old people need their sleep.

First, I should probably watch the news, tell a 2 hour long story about back when I was a girl, and take my arthritis and osteoporosis meds... Then I need to clean my bifocals and grease the wheel on my walker... There's so much to do when you're old.

Anybody know how to play bridge?
