Football and Saturdays

Baby, it's cold outside!

Today was the high school's football playoff game.
It was snowing.
The wind was blowing.
The heaters were brought out to the field.
The fans were wrapped in blankets and layered in many layers.
Hoods and mittens abounded.
Hot chocolate was everywhere.

I have decided that I am definitely a fair weather football fan.
We left at half time with our team down 21-0.
Yep, they pretty much decided that they did not really want to play.
So, we decided that we were not going to watch.
Final score 28-14.

I came home just in time to start watching the Alabama LSU game in my nice warm and cozy basement with my jumbo cup of hot chocolate and my blanket.
This is how I like to watch football.
Forget the freezing weather and the wind.
That just makes for a bad hair day!

It would be completely wrong if I did not tell you who won the Alabana game.

OF COURSE!

ALABAMA won in OT.
They are still NUMBER 1.

WOO HOO!!!

Yesterday was my DH's birthday.
He wanted low key so we did low key.

Subway for dinner and, of course, a Coldstone cake for dessert.
Opened presents and watched Get Smart before we all fell asleep and headed for bed.
We are one rockin' family aren't we?!

Hugs!

Let's add insult to injury shall we?

I was just listening to the news.

I know,
BAD IDEA!

I had wondered earlier today what was going to happen with the Senate spot
that Mr. Obama has left open for us in Illinois.

I had not had time to look it up yet to see how we get another senator.

It seems that our govenor gets to place the next senator.

WHAT?!

ARE.
YOU.
SERIOUS?

Folks, for the second time in two consecutive govenors, the head man in our state (democrat) is being investigated for wrong doing (fraud and conspiracy).
The previous govenor (republican) is now doing time for federal corruption charges.

So, you see folks, you can't trust the voters of Illinois as they tend to vote people into office that are questionable in character.

I can hear ya'll now...

Sure, now you tell us!
Could you not have mentioned this BEFORE the election yesterday?!

Sure, I could have

BUT WHO WOULD HAVE LISTENED?

Now, all we can do is pray.

Pray for this new president.
Pray that his heart will be softened toward our Lord.
His title of President will mean nothing when he stands before the
Lord of Lord and King of Kings to answer for his deeds.

The book of Daniel says that God places and removes kings.

I believe this will all my heart.

Why?

Why am I the only one that knows when the garbage can is full?

Why am I the only one that can put the recyclables in the recycle bin
right outside the back door?

Why am I the only one that can put dishes in the dishwasher?

Why am I the only one that can see the "clean" button lit on the dishwasher?

Why am I the only one that can change the toilet paper roll?

Why am I the only one that can put my shoes in my closet?

Why am I the only one that can hang up dirty towels/wash clothes?

Why am I the only one that can tell that the vacuum needs to be ran?

Why am I the only one that knows how long food needs to be microwaved?

The answer....

Cause I'm the mom!

I guess you could say I had a rough day.
I think it is more that I am frustrated that I seem to be the only one that
cares that the above mentioned issues are even done.

Seriously, am I the only one in the world that asks why?

It is going to be a long week....................

Hugs!
