The Comedy of Association Football Games

OK, so Jax has been playing football for Blue Ridge Youth Association. (We only have 1 practice and 1 game left!!! Praise the Lord!!) Last night as I sat on a cold concrete step, beside a very grumpy, pouty hubby, watching all the happenings I had several thoughts.
1. Some parents take these sports WAY to seriously!!
2. Sometimes it would be good to have a cheer leading coach that actually knows football and when an appropriate time to cheer "TD, we want a touch down!" would be. I can tell you it is not when we are defense!
3. Also about cheerleaders at this age, they just yell! You cannot tell what in the world they are saying! It is so cute! My favorite is the tiny sweet girl who raises her little leg and yells, "Go Tigers!" and jumps up and down like she just did the most impressive jump anyone has ever accomplished!! I just want to eat her up she is so cute!
4. Wow my parents had to go through this??? (football, cheer leading-that started when I was 2!!, soft ball, basketball and baseball!!)
5. Some people-ok in this case a woman-should not be allowed out of the house-let alone a child's sporting event-wearing what they are wearing! This lady had a chest that scared everyone!! She is in shape but holy yuck!!!
6. Wow! My parents had to go through this??
7. Will we ever really win a game?? (That is probably a NO because we have one more game!)
8. Even though I didn't bring Gatorade, my drinks are still good-little snobs! Be grateful! (smile smile-take my drinks! smile!)
9. This is really great that the kids have so much fun and that is REALLY what it is all about!!

After we got grumpy, cold and melancholy home, we had a great evening. It was just a cold night and Jax had a test today and it is HALLO WEENIE!!!

Fire Proof

Bye Bye Negative Thinking!

Ok, this looks like some kind of drug thing, but I promise it is not.

J and I are doing 'The Love Dare.' This is based on the movie 'Fireproof.' If you have not seen this movie, GO NOW!!! It is remarkable!!

Anyway, each day you have a different Love Dare. Today was to burn a list of negative attributes of your spouse. This was a short list, but so freeing to do!! I have decided I am going to also do this for a list of negatives about myself.

I prayed that God would help me to stay positive in every aspect of my life, marriage and work! Yay! A good day! :)

SEE THE MOVIE-Dare to do the Dare!!

I am 32! Not 12!

I had a 6 mo dental cleaning this morning. I LOVE getting my teeth cleaned. It is like a hair cut to me. I went in and told them everything was ok except I do get food caught in a tooth-usually meat. When the dentist came to look at my teeth I told her the same thing. She said, "Well, the only way to fix all the spaces in your teeth is to get braces." BRACES??? I have always been told I have healthy teeth!! What?? At 32 you are gonna tell me I need braces??? I was so shocked. I did not know what to say. I asked her if I really needed them. She said need was a relative term.
Ok, so I didn't think I have ugly teeth. Now I am really worried!
Jax has to have braces. He is actually going on Tuesday-finally-to get the spacers, etc in. I may see if his orthodontist will look at me and tell me what he thinks.

I want to be/appear younger, but BRACES??? I don't want to go THAT far!!! :)

Wowser Bowser!

Wow it has been almost a year since I posted last! I forgot I even had a blog! LOL! Well, Jax is in the 3rd grade, John is still at FHS and I am still with Greenville County.
Jax plays football and we only have 4 days left in the season! Praise Jesus! It has been trying on all of us. 4 days a week is a lot. I don't know what we would do at this point if we had more than one child!! (I am sure we would manage though!)

Still no baby. Still working on that. Still praying for a Blessing.

Kyndra is preggers and due next month! We are excited about this sweet baby girl! I went over on Sunday and helped her set up some of her room. She has so many clothes! I can't wait to see her in them!

Mark and Amanda added to their sweet family. Annabelle was born in Feb. William turned 6 on the 5th of October. So they are all doing well.

We are looking forward to Halloween and the Holidays! Stay tuned and hopefully I will post sooner!! :)
