Tears, the Elkless wonder, and squeeky clean

Well.. today was a BIG day, it started at 7:00 running Fresh Prince to school to catch the bus for his first football game in a BIG time stadium!! (more on this in a moment) then back home to get Simba (the littlest member of the family,son) and his friend who spent the night, (they look like twins), and Sunshine (the BIG, Bad Senior, daughter) up and out of the house before the cleaning crew arrived, (more on that in a moment as well) it was about 1hr and 1/2 before the football game, so I took the gang to breakfast.

After breakfast it was off to the football game.. which might I add was HEARTBREAKING.. don't get me wrong we won 22-0.. but MY son..MY son.. sat the bench till the last 8 minutes of the game.. now I know I am biased, but he has been playing on BOTH SIDES of the ball for 7 years!!! and SERIOUSLY he is 3rd string.. I sat there wanting to cry.. knowing I couldn't.. his 4 plays were great, okay 3 plays were great one play was wellllll not great, but WHO can be 100% alll the time?????NOT ME!! Lord knows!

I picked Fresh Prince up at the school, and spent the rest of the afternoon trying my hardest to LIGHTEN Up the MOOD.. but it was a mute point.. I tried role playing with him on what he could say to the coach.. throwing in the "bright side" that he is making friends and is part of the "big picture" but pretty much was told to leave it alone.( I can't help it I am a problem solver!)...So it was left alone... that was until we were on our way to meet my sister and her Bo for dinner which we had 30 minutes of undivided attention uh um.. with a txt message here and a txt message there uh hummm.. and he started to CRY.. now this son is not a cryer, he leaves that up to Simba whom does it on a DAILY basis!! I have to tell you it BROKE MY HEART!!! I cried, he cried.. and then HE WAS ALL BETTER!! He decided he is talking to to coach on Monday..YES Monday...LABOR day.. he has practice a t 5:00pm, and he is going to see where it goes from there.. we will see..

The Man called today and started the conversation with ... "would you believe me if I told you that we filled ALL 3 Elk tags and 1 Deer tag?" to which I answered "NO!!!" and he said "you are right", they haven't even seen a trace of one!!It has rained for 15 hours straight! Geesh.. I still do not get the idea of taking HARD earned VACATION time to get up at 3am, climb allll over the mountains..smell like..welllll YOU can imagine.. for NOTHING?????? hummm I wouldn't even do that for the BEST shopping in the world!! :)

Oh and MY house was amazing!! Well.. that was after we got over the shock when we entered to the horrid smell of DOG SHIT.. we have a sweet, gentle dogie.. yes thank you Vic.. she was a dumb friends league dogie and, she is scared to DEATH of the strangest things, so we took precautionary measures and we secured her in her kennel and for WHATEVER reason (although she has not spent more then 1 hr in there in a year) SHIT alll over it.. so after we got her cleaned up and the house aired out I got to sit and look at how a PERFECT house is supposed to look for OH... about 1 hour.. then well life sat back in with cards on the table and butt cheek prints on the furniture..but it is CLEAN!! yippee... what a GIFT.. Hey have I told you about the best guy in the state who sells insurance???? :)



Okay I should be done.

My first blog

Okay so a good friend of mine invited me to view her blog and keep up with her and her adorable family.. So it is so much fun reading, I decided to try my hand at it.

So where do I begin.. well the reason I found the time to get this going is because I am a widow this weekend.. a poor hunting widow, it used to bother me when "the man", I will call him. (I take it we should not use real names) sooo any way he used to go hunting I would throw a major attitude, because I of course was left behind to wipe noses and car pool all over kingdom come. Now however I quite enjoy it, not because I don't disparately miss his warm body in the middle of the night or someone to tag team with the kids, but because I get to watch whatever I want, go to bed whenever I want and NOT COOK!!!! (the best part)... OH and have I mentioned since "the man" has changed to bow hunting, our freezer is EMPTY.. it took him about 5 years to even get me to not wrinkle my nose at the idea of cooking it and NOW in the last 8 years he hasn't gotten a thing!! I tease him a lot and quite frankly I need to stop because I am sure it has affected his "manhood".

It is also my Fresh Prince's,. I will call him, very first High School football game.. of course he is just a Freshmen (hence the Fresh...Lol) but he has been playing football since the 1st grade! There is one SMALL problem.. there are 77 freshmen football players.. so we will see if I even get to take an action shot of him??

Also a dear friend of ours moved to Hawaii, he is also our insurance agent.. since "the man" and I are referral machines for him, he is paying to have our house cleaned tomorrow as a thank you gift ... and oh my what a thank you it is!! I am sooo excited! I hate all the Cinderella work, you know baseboards, under the furnature.. in fact that only gets attention about oh, once in a blue moon.. or when my parents are coming to visit.. well .. maybe not even that often, there are just not enough hours in the day!!!!

I'm also hitting the Taste of Colorado this weekend with a girlfriend!! YUMMMM fried dill pickles and turkey legs!!

Love, Meli
