Oh the smell

STENCH!

This is a word that I remember my dad using when something smelled. It is such a great word. You can say "what is that smell" and it could be a good smell or a bad smell. Now if you say "what is that stench", you know it is not good.

Well today I had a stench in the house and could not figure out where it was coming from. Not only was it a stench, but it was a stench that is the worse kind of stench to me. It is the one I hate the most and can smell it a mile away and know exactly what it is.

Rotten old chocolate!

Really can you think of anything that makes your stomach curdle more than that?

Ok I can, it was our rotten egg incident which I really should blog about!

Anyways, I found it......

under the tv stand in Thayne's office covered up with a towel which of course was used to hide the spill but never really cleaned up.

Towel went straight to the trash with the mug that was so nicely laying next to it on the floor.

Resolve = check

carpet cleaner = check

holding breath a long time = check

I am pleased to announce the STENCH is gone and my house smells fresh and clean!

Against the odds!

Well Saturdays game was not looking to be very good for our team. We started the day knowing we would be missing 6 players do to fall break and illness. Then when we got to the game one of our best players did not make weight and could not play. Our quarterback was just getting over a fever but played the whole game. Right before the game Wyatt cracked his helmet and couldn't wear it, but since we still had his from last year he squeezed that big head of his into it. Now I am not sure if it was the good luck helmet he wore from last year or if it was just more playing time but Wyatt had a much better game yesterday and in the end we won 6-0. Not bad for only having 16 players. This is my favorite shot of Wyatt running the ball from yesterdays game.

we got spirit

We did it again this year, we bought the parent team t-shirts for Wyatt's football team. We even buy all of our kids the shirts. This year we even went all out and bought Dennis and Dianne shirts since they come to Wyatt's games. There is just something great about showing up for your kids football game and seeing all the parents on the sidelines with the team logo on their shirt and cheering. It kinda just brings everyone together. I think it is a great thing to do. I love showing team spirit. I even sang the Eagles fight song (yes I do know it) to Wyatt all day long in the car.

Now as much of a football mom that I am, I know that there are just some moms I will never be able to keep up with.

Yes my friends, that is a megaphone!!!!!!!!!

When I saw her walking over to our opposing teams side of the field I was...

1. so glad she wasn't on our team

2. thinking I so have to get a picture of her before the game is over.

There is just something to be said about cheerleaders in their 40's, I just think it would be better if I just didn't say it!

teenagers

The last words out of TJ's mouth when he walked out the door for school today was...

"I promise you will not get a call from the school about my shirt".

Why do I not believe him?

Happy Birthday Thayne

Today is Thayne's birthday and it is probably not a surprise that he is in Kentucky. What a stink. We celebrated alittle bit this last weekend with a party. Thayne does not like to have parties for himself. When he turned 40 he would not let me have a party but told me when he had is "halfway" birthday I could have one for him. One rule....no games! Now a halfway birthday means that Thayne has this belief that he is going to die when he is 86, so 43 would be his halfway mark. So this was the year so we had a small get together with our friends and had a good time eating and eating and eating and visiting. Simple and easy and if it wasn't for me stressing about cleaning it would have been a very relaxing event.

I really married the love of my life. We are the perfect fit. I love growing old with him and enjoy having him as my very best friend. So ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY THAYNE! I LOVE YOU!

Here are some pictures from the party. I let my kids take alot of the pictures so many did not turn out and some were blurry, but we have some to show anyways.

mystery project

Today I made a few trips to Lowe's and Home Depot. I have this project all figured out in my brain but really have no idea how it will turn out. I learned that you get alot more help at these stores when your husband is not with you. I also learned that they really don't help but are willing to follow you around and help you get stuff off the shelves so they look like they are helping. I had the guy at Lowe's pushing my cart, cutting molding (which I still have to cut the corners), and agreeing with all my wonderful ideas and saying I am so smart, and of course he kept telling me he would help me do anything I needed. I even scored 2 shirts and a mug just because I was joking around with the 2 cashier in the construction checkout line. Anyways, this is what I got....

molding
board
liquid nails (great stuff)
clear caulking
paint glue
screws

I think that is it.

Check back later to see my creation come to life.

getting dizzy

I have a ton of stuff to do by Saturday night and my head is starting to spin. I have already talked to myself (you do it too) about the fact that all my projects I wanted to do by Saturday night were not going to get done. One reason is I am sitting here blogging instead. I don't need to be told that, I already know. Maybe alittle less time on Facebook. However, I have not planted on my farm there in over a week so I have not wasted a ton of time on there either. Primary program is Sunday and Shelli (love her) has done such a great job that I have not done hardly anything and have stressed little about. I have just been busy with all the little stuff. Don't think that hiring a house cleaner has not crossed my mind. I am going to stick with that fact that it will all works out, it always does!

attention to detail

Last night TJ went to the HS football game. When he got home I asked him how the game was and if our team won. His response was..."we got creamed".

This morning while driving him to school I asked him more about the game.

Me- So we lost last night?
TJ- ya, really bad
me- what team did they play
TJ- A really good one!
