High school football in Texas is so big and such a big deal that it has taken Robert and myself kind of by surprise. We’ve never seen it or experience high school football at this level. It’s a major production and everyone is involve…..parents, brothers, sisters, grandmas and grandpas, the community….it is very neat to see the fan base they’ve developed from everyone around them. I LOVE IT!!
This year is very exciting for us since it’s the first year our favorite player is part of the “big deal.” He worked hard this summer, basically giving up his summer vacation to condition and stay in shape for fall football season. He’s had football camps and practices couple of weeks before school started. He’s more than ready to play football now. They’ve already had the first game, which was fun and exciting to watch. Our school won. Tonight, we take on a tougher opponent, it’s going to be gooood. We can not wait.
Kiley came home today with a very loose tooth – hanging by a little thread loose and 30 minutes later if was off! She came running screaming with pride, which then seconds later turned into sadness, that her tooth fell off. Poor thing. This will be her 3rd teeth all together! She lost her two front bottom teeth this year in April. My baby is losing her baby teeth……booooohooooo….
My Husband, Robert has been traveling alot for work since February. At first it was fine and then it got old and I got stressed and having him gone every week and some weekends…..we kind of turned into a dysfunctional family. I totally empathize with a single mom and probably single dad go through when they don’t have someone else in their life to help with carpool pick up and drop off, evening baths, dinner, and just another adult in the house to converse with. It was lonely, depressing and at times heartbreaking, for me at least. BUT when he does come home it’s perfect. We savor every moment together.
Robbie’s cousin, Justin came into town this week after his school ended for the year. We are so glad he’s able to come down to visit at least 2 twice a year. The boys grew up together until we moved to Texas 6 years ago…..distance can not separate a special bond between these two. They always pick up right where they left off and have fun no matter what.
Happy Happy Birthday to my sweet Kiley bear!! Where did those 5 years go? I don’t know but I want it to slowwww down……this mama bear is not ready for her sweet girl to grow up! Kiiley starts kindergarten this fall and this is the one milestone out of many more of her life that REALLY begins her life. Boohooooooo…..*crying mama bear*……
