little j turned 8 today. he had a party with 16 of his little buddies, mostly his mite hockey team and a few kids from his class.

i either need to go for a long run or i need to go fetal position in a dark room for awhile.

after that, i might post some pictures.

i believe i'm suffering some type of post-traumatic birthday syndrome. and to think we actually thought about taking the little scamps to sioux falls for carload night at the water park.

the volume level in the car alone might have caused me to drive straight into a bridge.

remind me next year: 16 little boys is about 15 little boys too many.

happy birthday, little j. i can't imagine you doing it any other way.
