It's Footbal time in Ardmore

Well, it is game day (well, actually it's Jamboree Day, but who cares?) and I am so excited. I get this way every year, where I am so ready for the games to begin, I can't sleep and I am anxious all day for it to be 7PM (gametime). I have already laid out our tiger outfits, the bags, the snacks, the drinks and candy for the kids, and the chairs, toys, and stroller is ready to go in the van.
I won't say I stress about winning, but I would sort of be lying. I want to win so bad I can't hardly stand it. The funny thing is I am not all that competitive, the game is not that important to me, but the paycheck that comes with it is. Coach has said so many times, "our lively hood is on the shoulders of 16-17 y/o boys." That is so scary when you get right down to it! I love those "boys" to death, but knowing that our job is on the line year in and out makes the winning REALLY important.

We have a great group of seniors this year, they are all a close knit group of friends and that has proved to be important in the past. I know they are nervous too!
We had the community kick off last night with a pep rally, the band, and the cheer squad. It was a great turn-out!

I know Coach is anxious too, but he slept good and that usually means he feels ready. Most people think they don't sleep well, but my Coaching husband always sleeps well when he is the most prepared.

Well, the kids are great.....Tate had is first day of Mothers Morning Out, and he did okay. He cried quite a bit for a while, but then played a bit. He did want to have his taggie and paci most of the day though. I felt horrible! I know he needs to be around other kids and away from Mommy some of the time, but I really hate to see him cry and be so upset, especially since I don't have to leave him. I felt even more guilty b/c I was so excited to have time to myself for once. It was wonderful and all I did was clean the house and run an errand or two. Oh, well, maybe he will take to it.

Reedisms: To Coach this morning: "It's Game Day baby!"
Daily Bug: Telling the teachers bye today at MMO so loudly he about woke up the entire class
