The biggest of the biggest games (well, at least so far!)...

While I sit here watching Sydney eat her breakfast macaroni and cheese (yep, forget Fruit Loops or Pop Tarts; she would eat it every morning for breakfast if she could. All I can say is 'Thank goodness for Easy Mac!'), I am going through a list of things to look forward to this weekend.

Let's see...

I have to take Delaney to softball practice tonight (she usually practices on Tuesday, but had to change schedules this week; and we usually have a high school football game on Friday night with McKenna, but played last night instead. We won, btw, 42-14 and are heading to state playoffs next week).

We may go to a movie at the dollar theatre after practice.

I have to prepare for leading Children's Church this coming Sunday.

I want to work on a scrapbook project or two (a mini book I'm doing on Delaney's great softball season last year, plus some Halloween pages).

But, really, all of this is just Fill Time until the BIG event of the weekend...

Yep, it's the BIGGEST Alabama football game of the season so far! We are facing #3 LSU and it's been building up for two weeks around here since both teams had off-weeks last week.

The game really should be about the fact that the two of us are TIED for first place in the SEC West and whoever wins this game can pretty much make it to the SEC championship game if they take care of the rest of the season. But it's become much more than that. It's become something akin to a Battle Royale betwen the two coaches, Miles and Saban (in case you care nothing about sports and don't keep up with these things, Saban used to be the coach at LSU and led them to a national championshop; now he's at Bama and his arrival was like the Second Coming here!). Personally, I like what Saban is doing for the program; he's got the players toughened up and has us believing in the future. But really...it's all about the players and what we could accomplish with a win tomorrow!

Personally, on paper, it looks like we should get whipped. And we very well might! But...if that DOESN'T happen and we could sqeak out a win, HOLY COW would that be huge!

And the best news is...

I WILL BE THERE!!

Yep, I'm heading off to another Bama game tomorrow and you all know how much I love that! I'm also really excited because McKenna finally gets to go to a game with me. We get home tickets every year and since everyone knows that I am the REAL fan in the family (LOL), I go to each game and everyone else fights over who's going with me. Delaney's already been to two and so has Gary. McKenna has had color guard competitions every other week and this is her first chance to go. She's excited, because she ended up getting the LSU game.

So...if you are a sports fan, tune us in at 4 on CBS. If you don't like sports, at least cross your fingers for us! And if you really want to be supportive, yell ROLL TIDE really loud.

And I have to say, that I personally think we are apretty classy group of fans...except when it comes to rubbing it in after a win! I am not a curser; my Daddy taught me well, that cussing is a sign of a lack of a vocabulary; I teach my girls the same thing...so the only time I ever let one cut loose is during this lovely tradition at our football games. (Although with McKenna with me tomorrow, it will be "heck" because I do have to be a role model for her. But inside I'll be saying it! lol) This video is from the Tennessee game two weeks ago and the sad thing is that I can't find evidence of one of these against LSU on youtube (which means it's been a long time since we've been able to rub it in against them!). Maybe this week...



Have a GREAT weekend!!! If we win, you'll hear from me tomorrow night! If not, I'll see ya Monday!! Either way...it's all good!

(And, hey, go visit my friend Adrienne and wish her a Happy Birthday! She is my next-door neighbor, Crafter Extraordinairre, and Sweetie to boot. And she's turning 30! I know, just a baby!)
