I honestly don't know when I've ever been so into the Olympics. I love watching gymnastics and swimming/diving, but really nothing else. I have found myself watching fencing, individual pursuit, and the steeplechase, for crying out loud!! I guess in my old age I'm appreciating the abilities of all, not just some.
So, I can be officially counted in the masses of sleep-deprived Olympics watchers. I am totally exhausted!! I'm usually a night owl anyway but for some reason this has been rough on me. Luckily, Brooklyn has been considerate in letting Mommy have a little more time in the morning to get going. :)
Phelps, wow, what can I say? I'm soooo excited for him. I'm so excited to see that an American broke the record for the most golds in a single Olympics - an honor that was held by another American. I'm glad to see the sportsmanship among the athletes of our country, especially in the swimming events. Dara Torres and Michael Phelps were just the epitome of good sportsmanship. I made sure to replay those moments for the kids so they could see why it's so important.
Nastia Luiken, Shawn Johnson, Natalie Coughlin, Dara Torres, Michael Phelps, Tyson Dix - all great examples to our young people. Can't wait to eat my Wheaties!!

Hi, Stacie! I read your comment on my olympics post and I couldn't agree more! Josh and I have been talking about the same thing--what must it be like to be the parents of these olympians?!?! WOW!!
I get nervous for the families before the race/competition and I'm excited w/them in the end!LOL I don't know how many times I've gotten tears in my eyes. Even though I'm back at work now, I've HAD to stay up late for gymnastics--can't miss Shawn!!!
The olympics of a lifetime--I think you're right!
I agree!! I'm loving every minute of it! I was late to work this morning because I fell asleep last night before it was over and had to watch it on DVR before I could leave the house this morning!
