I think it’s Monday…

August 31, 2009

Someone cute & small has her days & nights mixed up which is causing her mother to lose her mind.  Seriously, is it Monday?  I’m really not sure.  ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: On Saturday, we hosted our Red & Black Kick-Off Party!  As predicted, I had a little helper in the kitchen as I tried to wrangle half a [...]

The Kick-Off Party

August 28, 2009

We are throwing a party in 31 hours and I don’t have anything prepared.  Am I panicked?  Never.  Throwing a party is fun! Last football season when Coach asked if we could throw a Kick-Off Party, I almost stabbed him.  At this time last year, I was 38 weeks pregnant, my feet were swollen, I [...]

While You Were Sleeping

August 25, 2009

While you were nestled all snug in your bed… Here’s another reason that I’m happy to be a girl.  Because REALLY, there is no way that I could put a helmet on and tackle people before my morning cup of coffee.

When Babies Play Football

August 23, 2009

Preseason Camp is Over! I’m not excited about that at all, am I?  Last evening, wives, parents, fans, & a few adorable babies gathered at the stadium for a scrimmage.  While others watched the action on the field, I must admit that I was distracted by the action on the sidelines.  Babycakes noticed this little [...]

Ladies Night In

August 21, 2009

Remember “Ladies Night”?  Hair done, lipstick, black pants, revealing shirt…  Then babies came on the scene.  Coach left for work in what I would consider the middle of the night — before 5 am.  Right about the time that his alarm clock went off (4:15 am), Babycakes decided that she would also like to wake [...]

Babysitter of the World

August 19, 2009

The going rate for my babysitting services as a kid was $1 an hour per child.  I was lucky if I went home with $7 in my pocket and when I did, I was so excited that I wrote about it in my journal.  The summer that I turned 13, I had a regular Tuesday/Thursday [...]

Two-a-Days

August 17, 2009

Two-a-Days I am not athletic.   I don’t like to sweat & I’m not a fan of humidity.  I enjoy watching others be athletic while sipping on diet coke.  Coach loves exerting himself on a hot & humid day — lucky for him because today is the start of “Two-a-Days”.  Practice #6 this morning & practice [...]

Daddy’s in the Tank

August 16, 2009

On Saturday afternoon, when the sun was at its peak, our community gathered on the Town Green for Fan Day.  We arrived all decked out in our team colors ready for an afternoon of autographs, games, & a DUNK TANK.  The arrival of the football team was comical to me — 100 boys & their [...]

Big Man on Campus

August 15, 2009

 Excuse me, little brother.  You have some explaining to do. Who gave you permission to grow up? This little boy has had me wrapped around his finger since day 1.  There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for him.  When he was a baby, he couldn’t say my name so he called me “Peppi” & then [...]

Game Day Attire

August 13, 2009

  Want to know what I’m going to wear to the first football game?  It won’t be a winter coat. When Coach and I were first dating, he invited me & my little brother to attend a game.  It was mid-November in Pennsylvania, the air was cold, but the sun was shining.  As we got [...]
