Full Moon Maddness - The End

This week has been dedicated to the freakish occurrences that occurred in our house during last weekend’s full moon. You have read about a cosmic connection to camp, the irrational happy behavior of a teenager, and my eerily phenomenal gender prediction abilities. You will have to agree, strange things happen when the moon is full! This final submission is no exception. There is no rhyme or reason behind the behavior that I am about to share. Please, do not be alarmed but this is extreme A-typical behavior. The only explanation can be full moon madness.

Last Saturday was a pretty ‘schedule free’ morning. Our family didn’t have a lot planned for the day (other than Maddy’s freakish desire to hang out with her mom). So what did we do – we all went to the wrestling tournament at the area high school. We do not have a family member on the team. Tom and I have never been to a meet in the past. The one and only time I have even attended a wrestling meet was in high school . . . . a long, long, long time ago. But we went to this tournament and stayed a few hours. It was fun – it really was – but it was difficult to watch. This is one painful sport (ouch) combined with some very ‘healthy’ young men who spend a lot of time on training their bodies. I think I just disclosed an ugly side of myself but really you would agree if you had watch– you can’t argue that truth.

Then, just when we were feeling our lives return to a form of normal we attended the high school talent show on Monday night. Were Andy and Maddy in the show? Nope. We just went. No reason other than something different to do – that supports the kids in our school. Wrestling meets and talent shows – just to support local youth, why it is madness don’t you think?

Assignment: This weekend you are challenged to find something to do in your own community – regardless of having a personal connection to it or not. Who knows what you will discover.
