Three ways you know you’ve been missing in action online:
- Your husband asks if you’re still a blogger.
- Your triberr leader checks to see if you’re alive.
- Your house is clean – there are some perks to being offline!
This past month has been quite a busy one for this football family. In addition to celebrating Christmas, I made a major decision in our family’s schedule – more on that later. While Coach continued to recruit student athletes, I traveled to Pennsylvania with Ellie & Toby to visit my family, then flew to Texas for a rendezvous with Coach before making the return road trip back to NC.
Christmas was full of magic for our family this year. Ellie was just as tickled over her new bicycle as she was for the bunnies who also received new toys in their stockings. Her new doll, which received the best reaction, has been good company for her and she enjoys having tea parties & cooking for her. The doll’s name is Masha {not to be confused with Marsha} and is named for the female brown bear cub from her favorite documentary.
Oh, that Ellie.
Let me share a zinger from the last month…
One chilly Pennsylvania morning, after running to the vet’s office with my mom & her dog, we stopped back at the house briefly to return the dog before venturing out around town. While still buckled into her car seat, I popped back into the house for a moment.
When I returned, I opened her door and said, “How are you doing, Midge?”
“Mom! I am not a bitch!” she shouted at me.
I laughed so hard and then said, “Midge. I called you Midge!”
“Well, I’m an Ellie!”
Lesson learned.
