Dear Family

Because my family wants to know what I'm up to, what my kiddo is up to. So...

Dear Family,

I miss you each very much. Including mom and dad, who actually live like 15 mins from here, and don't come visit, unless dads dropping off tomatoes, or mowing my lawn. I think I am gonna make a family dinner soon. You are all welcome, but please let me know ahead of time. :) I think I need to move into a more spacious house. Mines big, but...set up wrong.

Brandon has been playing football, and totally wearing me out. He plays Jr Varsity on Mondays (Tuesdays coming in Oct) and he plays 1st string with the freshmen on Thursdays, and then on Fridays he gets to dress with the varsity, and actually got to play quiet a few plays in the last Varsiy game. So I am sort of living at the football field this year.

The other nite, I froze my tushy off. Seriously. I had a hoodie, and a blanket, and I was sitting on a stadium seat. For all the good it did me, I still froze. This was one of those nites, where the freshme game was supposed to start at 7pm---but it did not. At 8:30pm the game FINALLY started. It had been a very wet day--which made for a pretty coooool (cold really!) night.

The 7th and then the 8th, play first before the freshmen. This is why the long nite. So by thetime the game was over, at 10:00pmish--after sitting there for like 3 hours---Oooh I was soo excited to run to the car and turn on the heat! Like full blast. Like seriously!

So I drive around to the "home" side parking, since thats where our boys are getting out of uniform---and here comes Brandon.

U know what he does? He gets in the car, and says "MOM!! ITS HOT!!!" turns my heater OFF--- and proceeds to roll down the window! I proceed to try to push him out of the car and roll up the window, and tell him he can stand outside in the cooold air until he cools off! Ofc this doesn't work, since he's too tired to stand he wants to sitdown. He says fine...so he opens the door , stays in his seat, stretches his legs --he's wearing shorts---and says "ahhhh".... *grunts* this is NOT what mommy dearest had in mind my luv!

So I persuade him back into the car, letting him keep the window down.
So we pull out of the parking lot, me turning on the heat with his window down, and him turning it off and sticking his head out the window, and me telling him to leave the darned heater alone cuz my feet are frozen! lol, we fially compromise---I get heat on my feet, and he gets to keep the window down until we get on i-35. Oh. we were in Plainview. So we didn't get the heat on, but I managed to keep him from turning on the airconditioner--which he did 3 times when I turned on the heat--lol--it was just too crazy.

We get home...i put on my winter jammies and grab a warm blanket and curl up on the couch.
He goes in his room, and turns on the aircondtioner.

Kids! :)
